I'll be there

Looking forward to getting a close-up look at the brand new Caps. There should be plenty of energy from the kids tonight, just hope they play their game and not try to do too much.

Your voice of doom and gloom.

Alzner and Bourque are going to be here for good by the start of next season.

How about that OV? The mad hatter indeed…..

Nylander’s got more jump in his step than I’ve seen him have all year.

by David M. Getz on Nov 26, 2008 8:13 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Nylander does looks sharp out there. for that matter, so does the whole team.

Yeah, the whole team looks pretty damn good (and our defense can CLEAR THE ZONE NOW HOLY SHIT!) but let’s remember who we’re playing before we get TOO excited about our new additions. Enjoy it, but don’t be mislead by Atlanta. Let’s hope friday is also an ass-whooping day.

Hazardous – i was thinking the same thing but didnt want to come off a fun-sucker. Not only is ATL not very good, they’re also a little tired…..

That’s a good point. Good AHL players should play well against Atlanta (that’s the sorry truth for the team right now) but seeing how they play against Montreal will tell us a lot more.

Alzner’s looked very solid for a kid his age in his first NHL game. Not too excited, making smart plays, and looks like he has great instincts.

Friday

Habs up 3-0 at Detroit…..

by Pi on Nov 26, 2008 9:11 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Lepisto seemed outmatched a lot during this game. All the other call ups i thought did great.

by ns on Nov 26, 2008 10:04 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Lepisto’s a little undersized for an NHL defenseman and I feel like that sometimes watching him. But he did finish +1 with that nice assist and two hits.
