Or you literally can’t change lines with the puck in play. Agree with the first one as that was a terrible call, but once they called that, I knew they were going to call it in OT.

Popeman38 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Bull****. Bad penalty call and then ignore two whacks at the keeper after the whistle. Utter horse****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoDeep81 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Our D and D zone play is gonna cause Trotz to grow hair here soon.. Got a point, but after a 2 goal lead (twice) it stings.. That and the home crowd booing getting to the refs and the makeup madeup calls.. Anyway, 5 points in 3 games, with this new squad, I'll take..

BurgundyMalaise Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm looking for a spare ticket to the Caps-Pens Wednesday. I haven't been to former Verizon in about two years and I figured this is a great time to go. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm a loud loyal Caps fan since I was in the baby walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing and sure enough. Our legs were cooked by overtime. I kind of knew they'd score. Oh well, got the point on the road. Hate to blow a 3-1 lead though, but Grubi kept it from being worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koala Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Am I missing something? Why do so many people have such low expectations for this year's squad? Looks like the exact same team as last year, minus Schmidt. People making him out to be the 2nd coming of Bobby Orr, he wasn't even a top 4 defenseman yet. Who else did we lose?

Where have you been the last 12 years when we consistently fail to get out of the 2nd round. 2. Battered fan syndrome. 3. Not Bobby Orr, but with the NHL changing to less hitting and more skating, he was our fastest defenseman and had a breakout year last year. When he was benched for Sh**tenkirk, we were terrible. Once he went back on the ice in the playoffs for Alzner, the defense picked up. 4. You tell us not to have low expectations, and then you don't know who we lost.

Schmidt isn't the difference between a championship contender and a nonplaypff team. Seriously, from the reaction here you'd think we failed to resign Kuzy or Orshi, not Nate ****ING Schmidt. 4) that was a rhetorical.question, and you know rhat, quit being a prick.

Per Schmidt. Teams with speed are a problem for the Caps, so when you get rid of a good puck carrying INEXPENSIVE defenseman, it's a pretty dumb move by the team. I think most everyone outside of the Caps organization has much lower expectations for this team given the failures the past two years and the rise of teams like the Maple Leafs and a team like Tampa being healthy. Carolina should be better. Pens are the Pens. Anyway, no one is picking a SC for the Caps and that's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hdf561 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay early, but as usual offense it explosive and IMO D and goaltending are lacking....again. It looks yet again like a team built for the regular season and not for the playoffs...it could be worse a lot of cities would beg for a team consistently good and in the playoffs but it just rings hollow for me at this point. Still like watching but anything less than the cup at this point is a wasted season IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost put in parenthesis (unless this is a rhetorical question) when I posted, but took it out for some reason. If I've said it once with the Wizards, Redskins and Capitals, I've said it a thousand times- Prove it to me. Win championship and I'll stop complaining. Now, I haven't complained at all with the regular seasons. Can't ask for more. Playoffs are a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoDeep81 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 So far, the goalies have kept us in these games, imo. We've been fairly fortunate on our side of the scoreboard and the D looks very unsure of itself. I wouldn't get too carried away with the results thus far.. Wasn't that long ago when they started a season 7-0 ? and fired Boudreau soon there after. I think I'll remain thankful when they get W's and try and brush it off when they look bad.. Certainly no expectations at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly no expectations at this point. Trotz's stubbornness is going to be his downfall. No logical reason to put Chorney/Ness out there as the third pairing when Bowey/Djoos are waiting in the wings. The latter couldn't possibly look any worse. Trotz better start trusting his younger players/rookies, or else he's going to be unemployed. Which I think will be the most likely scenario before Thanksgiving - unless something drastic happens.

Bonez3 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 There's no NHL thread (I think?)... But the Flyers game just ended in what I would consider complete BS. Admittedly, I don't watch as much hockey as I used to. But, the Flyers were winning by 1 with a minute to go. The were on a 2 man short hand scenario. Preds tied it up but the Flyers challenged an offside. Challenge lost.. BUT THEY KEPT THE GOAL (RIGHTFULLY SO) BUT KEPT PREDS ON 2 MAN ADVANTAGE. WTF HAPPEN TO HOCKEY??!!??!?

This is a little unfair. Not a lot unfair, just a little. There are a decent number of young forwards (7 of them 25 or younger) including Vrana, 21, on the second line and Bura, 22, on the top line. It's actually kind of amazing that only two players are over age 30 (Ovi and Orpik) and there are only 3 others (soon to be 4) that are 30. 2 minutes ago, Bonez3 said: There's no NHL thread (I think?)...

WTF AHPPEN TO HOCKEY??!!??!? Looking at the box score, that Flyers had three total penalties in the last couple of minutes, but there is no such thing as 5 on 2 hockey. That's why it stayed 5 on 3.

Bonez3 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 They lost a challenge which made it 5-3 again... I just don't understand why you would be penalized a player for losing a challenge. That's news to me. The whole finish was a BS homer scenario in favor of Nashville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
