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 New rule that I didn't know about. If you lose an off-sides challenge, you get a penalty. I think it's a good rule actually. Too many super close ones that really had nothing to do with the goal being scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgundyMalaise Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Can't wait to go to this Caps-Pens game tonight and also to play in this hockey tournament on Saturday! I obviously hope we get up for the Pens and Ovi gets an Ovechtrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a deterrent from using stupid challenges and messing up the flow of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Yep, totally agree.. Looks like Djoos will get a shot tonight, in for Chorney.. Might have to pay close attention to see him on the ice, but he's in the lineup anyway!

Hersh Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Speed of the Pens are a big reason why letting Schmidt get away was dumb. Also, Caps second PP unit currently sucks. Oh yeah, typical 5-2 PP advantage for the Pens. So far it's the difference in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoDeep81 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Yikees.. These guys better adapt to these new rules.. Way too sloppy on D to be in the box 5 or 6 times a game. Liked the Ovi goal, since it had a little grit to it.. Seemed like if it wasn't "pretty", they really didn't want anything to do with it before that. I heard the announcers say a few times they need to simple it up and I agree. (Even if it was Pillsbury talking) Anyway, Pens still have their number. What else is new.

I was reading Trotz's comments about him from after the game and how it's progress but he needs to get stronger. Didn't realize but he is 6 feet and 164 lbs.That is skinny.

One player who stands out to me early in the season is Burakovsky. He looks faster, stronger and more confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but this kid is already 23 so he has certainly already been on weight gain/training programs for at least the last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I'm honestly struggling to even care about this team. They've literally beaten it out of me.

max21 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Backstrom feeds the puck like no other, solid W against a hot Devils team. Smith-Pelley has looked like a solid pickup thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoDeep81 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 While Niskanen has looked like hot garbage imo, so far this year, a hand/wrist injury would be hard to swallow for this D.. Hope he's ok.. If he's not I guess Bowey gets a turn? Anywho, solid W from the boys against a hot Jersey team in their barn! Top 6 have been lighting it up. As long as they don't go cold I guess were good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could really watch any teams just play and be content. I can’t say that about football, especially with how much the action stops throughout. I just enjoy the sport.

skinsmarydu Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I do watch a lot of football, and we love watching tennis. But I'll usually look for a decent hockey game first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
