Morning chaps. :wackysmile:
Glad coacg saw sense and put Willy in the first line and Mojo on the third. ;)
-
Thank goodness we're back to proper kit. :P
-
Do like the second line now!

Oh well, ass kicking in the making. :clown: :poop: :clown: :poop:
Carolina in exactly the right places. Caps losing every board battle, fumbling around with the puck when they do get in the zone.. And were only 5 minutes in! :wackysmile:
-
It's all a bit haphazard so far. :clown:
-
Van being hung out to dry again.
:headbang:
-
Canes getting all the bounce, probably will shift in the second.......
-
Didn't know Haglin was back.. :raspberry:
-
Caps need to turn this into physical game....................
-
The hockey Gods giveth. Then thay taketh it away. :-|
-
Showing the Oshie/Wilson ritual going into break. And Wilson handing out pucks during the game we're getting dominated in.. These guys are all business!! :)
-
Glad that period is over.
Maybe we can start playing in the next, instead of running around like headless chickens.

Might be a tall ask.. Fast, responsible teams will make us look bad most of the time. We're too slow to find space and not strong enough to create any.. Next we'll discuss the D. :snicker:
-
that call on Oshie was horse shit
still got 2 periods left, plenty of time

looked more like hip on hip

Glad that's over.
Shocking.

Willy beat that poor boy silly.. This kind of loss is probably better for us, then going 4-0 in the regular season or getting beat in a close game. This one should leave a bad taste in their mouth, should they meet up again. Probably won't matter in a 7 game series, but might get them one or two out of the gate.

Not that I think this team has the horses to go very far but one must ask himself why the team is 21-12 on the road and 16-19 at home. That speaks to lazy, nonchalant play at home which is a direct reflection of the coaching staff. In the old days, a coach would have seen this and told them that they're going to book a hotel and they're going to treat home games just like road games until they get their crap together. Of course, today's coddled types could never put up with that.
Speaking of the old days, most teams had a philosophy where that square between the faceoff dots and down to the goal line in your own end was a no go zone for opponents where anybody venturing in there, with or without the puck, but especially with it, would pay a physical price. Now, guys waltz through there from board to board and the defense just waves their sticks around trying to bat the puck free. When is the last time anyone on the Caps (or on most other teams) really applied a solid open ice hit to a puck carrier? It seems that the goal these days is to not get hurt before anything else. I can't imagine a Scott Stevens type even being tolerated in the league these days. Now, every time some guy with his head down gets a somewhat solid hit, he wants to start fighting like some baby who had his lollipop knocked out of his hand. Hockey has become PC and it's to the detriment of the game. Oh, and I'm not talking about goonism, either but clean, hard physical play. It seems to have vanished.

Waynerivers, it seems to have happened in all pro sports. As salaries go up, the rules of the game and the nature of play change to try to reduce the risk of injury. There's too much motivation for players to not only play to make sure they can make the big bucks, but to minimize the risk that they have a career altering/ending injury as a result of what someone else does.
-
I still bet you a nickel that the Players Association got together about three years ago and everybody agreed to knock off the fighting, scrums and hard hits. I guaranty that happened. They make too much money.
Now if as a result, people stopped going to the games and the arenas were half empty, they would come out hitting again.

No doubt. They are also banking on new generations of fans who don't know any better because they've never seen hockey as it really should be played.
