In the after practice presser this morning, coach said same lines as last game, but Thompson in net. Skate Shavings at Caps dot com says otherwise. ::)

Milano has been skating the last couple days, but coach says he’s still a ways out.

It appears the team is rotating who wears the 3rd “A”. Since no one cares to report on it we will have to wait until game time to see who gets it tonight.

Slashing calls are ridiculous at this point.  You touch a guys gloves or even get close and its slashing.   You can whack the back of a hockey glove as hard as you want and hardly feel it through the glove.
Taking one between the glove and elbow pad on the forearm hurts like a bugger, but a tap on the back of the hand is meaningless.
And I'm also annoyed at the tendency for guys to fake like it hurts to draw a penalty....THIS AINT FUCKING SOCCER AND WE DONT WANT IT TO BE!  All the old school hockey guys must be rolling in their graves when they see this soccer on ice bullshit

I don’t disagree, just pointing out why it is what it is

phukin crosby..

as I recall the shitsburgh crier was very unapologetic about it, at least publicly. He said something to the effect it happens to him all the time, yet his hands aren’t mangled.

That's a softy by Logan there.  FFS the Caps kryptonite this year is the last minute of a period.
Honestly, I'm expecting nothing but disappointment from this game, so...there's still hope my expectations will be unfulfilled.

What do you guys think about Miro?  He had a nice kick assist on the goal. It seems to me that he is not quite ready physically.  He gives a good effort though. I think he will probably mature to be an average player, but not a star.

Hmmm...I think he will do better than average.   but...what's average?
I don't expect he will be the next Ovi, but he will be a better scorer than.... Dowd.


Of course...could be my Capsfan unrealistic hope shining through there...

Post by: waynerivers on Wednesday December 04, 2024, 11:33:09 AM Eastern
They were outskated and outplayed and they refuse to hit anybody unless you count Wilson's high stick.  At one point, the Caps led 20-10 in shots.  From there to the end, they were outshot 21-8.  They've also been falling behind with regularity not to mention stinking it up at home for the most part.  Carberry should not be pleased.

Post by: richkrt99 on Wednesday December 04, 2024, 12:48:28 PM Eastern
I rewatched the 10min condensed summary...Caps had the better of the scoring chances for both 1st and 2nd period and virtually nothing in the 3rd.
The sharks goal in the first was off an intercepted Sandin pass then a shot with Sandin sort of screening the shooter...I would like LT to make that stop even though it was a good snipe.
I slept through the 3rd (apparently as did the Caps) and the condensed replay didnt show the Wilson high stick penalty...

Caps still top in the division, all the east and 2nd in the league only to Minnesota.  Winnipeg has lost 4 in a row.

Caps did win 7 of last 10, including last 4 in a row, so they not gonna win them all, but need to win vs San Jose, coming off 2 nights rest.

Carberry should not be pleased.
I had post game on in the background. Im pretty sure he was pissed about their recent home ice play (starts).


I rewatched the 10min condensed summary...Caps had the better of the scoring chances for both 1st and 2nd period and virtually nothing in the 3rd.

Every goalie we've played lately channels his inner Pat Roy for some reason.. Plus our shooting wasn't exactly sharp. Couple guys had 5' away chances and missed the net all together. Carlson had one, missed. Beagle had an open net, whiffed.
