Bostic Hog Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Wrong. You are in the right thread, but it's the thread where we make the Flyers our B*****es once again. HAHA. Come on in and take an ass whooping. We are the defending Eastern Conference champs You haven't earned the right to smack talk. Do something when it counts ..... then we'll talk. See you in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellsMyHero28 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 says...? Personally, I'd consider them both on the hot seat if we have another playoffs like last year. Too much talent on this team to continue to disappoint like that, and its not just the early playoff exit as much as it was the lack of willingness to change up the game plan against MTL when what we were doing clearly wasn't working.

Winning the AFC/NFC Championship, winning the AL/NL etc. = unimportant. We mock the Eagles for a good reason, going to and winning the NFC Championship is unimpressive when you don't win the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticksboi05 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 LOL, wow you won the Eastern Conference. Who cares? You've made the Stanley Cup Finals like 4 times since 1975 and lost every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmySmith Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 says...?Me. The Flyer fan in the thread is correct, regular season does not mean squat in the NHL. 1st and 2nd round exits = failed season. Hot goalie, hot team excuses are old. It's time for the Cup. Don't think that Boudreau and McPhee are not aware of this, they are hockey guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRogersGuy Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Despite what some people say, winning the regular season is a HUGE accomplishment. Of course I'd rather squeak into the playoffs and win the Cup then lose first round after winning the President. But I think I'd rather be the champion of the 82 game season than go deep into the playoffs without a cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzapf Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I really doubt that BB's and GMGM's jobs are in much danger at all. If they flame out in pathetic fashion again, they will still get another year. Just they will have to preach change the whole off season. Thats the impression I seem to be getting at least. Not saying it shouldn't cost them their jobs, just saying I don't think it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BALLz Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 If anyone cares, Caps are up 5-1 vs Columbus in the 1st preseason game. Flash has 2 Gs and 1 A. Matt Hendricks has 2 and Cody Eakin 1. Varly had 20 saves before being pulled. Holtby has 9 saves w/ 1 GA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertGoulet Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Having Alzner and Carlson up permanently is certainly an upgrade over what we had last year (Morrisonn, Sloan, etc) but yea, would've been nice to see even a second pair defenseman brought in.

Cowboy8467 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Caps are looking very sharp in this first preseason game, let's all hope that they can manage to bring that into the regular season as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't you read about his great signing of a defensive minded forward? (Should be a great fit with all of the offensive minded defensemen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrellsMyHero28 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Man, remember where we were 2.5 seasons ago? We get spoiled quickly Its easy to get spoiled. I say this far too often on this site but I'm a 22 year old DC sports fan. People my age and younger remember NOTHING of the Redskins glory years, have never seen a truly competitive Wizards squad (early playoff exits...again), and the Capitals have been my only hope for a team that can compete for a championship for my pro teams. Going to a school with 30k people, I know too many people who are from Pittsburgh, New York whatever who have seen their teams win championships and it KILLS me that we don't have that.

BALLz Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Question for any of you with Comcast. Beginning of this year I started getting NHL Network as a promotion that was supposed to last until the middle of April. It's now late September and I'm still getting it(not complaining at all). Just curious if anyone knows if Comcast decided to throw that in as part of the basic package of if I should expect to lose it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endzone_dave Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 It will be intersting to see what the 4th line looks like. Especially if Coach BB really likes Hendricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
