I like the energy DSP brings, but I don't understand how he's on 1 while Oshie and Willy are on 2 and 3I agree. DSP is a 4th line player.
Whew, I was worried I would not make it to see the start.
Go Caps!!!

Do mean the start of the Canes game or the Caps game, since it looks like tonight that is a different thing??

Do it tomorrow and start a PDT to keep us entertained during the game in Carolina. :D
WTF!??? This is just more proof these jackass zebras make up shit as they go against the CapsNope that's an automatic penalty. It was a stupid play by Ovi.
I like the energy DSP brings, but I don't understand how he's on 1 while Oshie and Willy are on 2 and 3The best reason would be back to games, and three games against the same team so close together.
Another 714 goal. maybe that's why he's not invited to the All-Star game.
how to beat the Caps 101 . . .

The penalty should have been a bench minor on Ovie, not an unsportsmanlike penalty on Connolly. The refs got it wrong.

That call was a no brainer. I can't believe Ovi didnt know he couldn't do that.http://www.hockeycentral.co.uk/nhlrules/Rules-10.php (http://www.hockeycentral.co.uk/nhlrules/Rules-10.php)BTW Connolly did not get the penalty. It was a bench minor. Someone that was on the ice has to serve the penalty.

They corrected it (what's new?). It was originally reported on the box score as unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Connolly.

and I heard about six announcers that were dumbfounded by the call, on t v and radio. No one had even heard of it being called much less witnessing it. The zebras could've easily called too many men and it wouldn't have been questioned
| 10.3 | Broken Stick - Player - A broken stick is one which, in the opinion of the Referee, is unfit for normal play. |
A player without a stick may participate in the game. A player whose stick is broken may participate in the game provided he drops the broken stick. A minor penalty shall be imposed for an infraction of this rule. | |
A player who has lost or broken his stick may only receive a stick at his own players' bench or be handed one from a teammate on the ice. A player may not participate in the play using a goalkeeper's stick. A minor penalty shall be imposed for an infraction of this rule. | |
A player tendered a stick thrown on the ice from the players' or penalty bench will not receive a penalty. However, the person responsible for throwing the stick will receive a bench minor penalty. |

It's pretty clear to me.

It it rule 53.3
ArJ, I need my laptop fixed so I can record the announcers and post it here
Damn! Two of our guys tagged the puck? That's usually an instant whistle on a delayed penalty.I agree
on a delayed penalty the rule book says control, not touch. Yet for years now the league has gone by touch, so now that's what the players expect. This really needs to be fixed
The way the Caps are pissing around with the puck and unable to pass worth a fuck I would not pull Holtby. Almost guaranteed to give an ENG to the Canes.
If they are saying Caps didnt have control that's fine but if that is the case then how is it an unassisted goal.on a delayed penalty the rule book says control, not touch. Yet for years now the league has gone by touch, so now that's what the players expect. This really needs to be fixed
That second touch appeared to be a controlled pass to me. It is too grey an area and inconsistently called, like too many other things in the NHL.

You can't expect to win them all at home and 10 straight was great, but THAT was a piss-poor effort by the boys. Not many guys brought it tonight.
Oshie signs the big contract, then becomes average...
I don’t know why Trotz does not put Beagle out to take the faceoff when we have pulled the goalie. He had Backstrom take it and he lost is cleanly. Then they have another face off 10 seconds later and he keeps Backstrom out who loses it again and they score. Seems pretty basic.Well Beagle lost more faceoffs than he won tonight. He was even worse last game. Backstrom was our best center on faceoffs tonight.
Out-fucking-standing. Hey Koker .. you asked why Carlson wasn't on the All-Star squad. That might have been a good reason right there.

oh great job Rush, now May is doing the post game from the ice
Well, Backstrom lost two big ones when they counted. I would take Beagle over Backstrom for any important faceoff.Agreed . . . Nicks good but nowhere near the elite class year after year Beagle is in, if not leads.
Beagle hasnt been good in the faceoff circle the past couple games. That is not good. When Beagle doesn't do well on faceoffs he becomes a liability.He’s been one of the best in the league the past few years.
By heavy workload I assume you are talking about his defensive responsibilities. I doubt there is another player in the league that starts in the defensive zone as often as Beagle does. Definitely the highest defensive zone start on the Caps. I think Stephenson is 2nd highest on the Caps. Trotz must have faith in him.Yep, damn right!!!
So what was the penalty everyone was talking about, that Ovie should of known about? Just from reading it sounds like someone from the bench threw him a stick or something? Is that the same one that should of been blown dead?
