BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 The Japer Rink bloggers hate it. Orpik hasn't been great in the last few years but I'll take anyone new at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Orpick will provide the solid, stay at home defense we have been aching for. And he will eliminate the BS with our goalies post whistle. Rugged. Made our lives miserable in Pitt for last 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 We just gave a guy that will be 34 before the start of the season a 5 year deal?? That can't be right, can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 We are clearly ALL-IN for the next few years of Ovechkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 That seems like a bad contract for 34 year-old defenseman, 12 year veteran, 0 time All Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallen5862 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I am a Carolina Hurricanes fan. The Washington Capitals got a good goalie in Peters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Um in theory I guess In reality, we are all in for golf in April Yeah, GMBM wasted no time answering the question of if he was the right guy for the job. We are the laughing stock of the NHL for this deal on twitter right now. ****ing Sweeney was an easy choice. I am a Carolina Hurricanes fan. The Washington Capitals got a good goalie in Peters. We have a better goalie in Holtby. I like Peters as a back-up though. No one is mad at that move to my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I have not seen one comment on any forum that thinks this is a good move. Fan bases can be wrong, but I think the Capitals will actually feel the blowback from fans for this move. Especially considering all the other moves going on by other teams that seem a lot more reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkFan8 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Ted's doing a fantastic job of ensuring the fan base doesn't tune in. Hardly watched at all last year, likely won't this year. Wouldn't have even given that contract to Orpik 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Would also not mind getting Grabo and either Niskanen or Orpik. That would actually make me pretty excited.[/size] You did this to us! Curse you a thousand curses!I was holding off my GMBM judgments until at least seeing what he does in FA. ... I miss GMGM already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
