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.

Good first period…..the energy is tangible.

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 Getz on Nov 26, 2008 8:13 PM EST reply actions  

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

by ns on Nov 26, 2008 8:15 PM EST reply actions  

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…..

by Pi on Nov 26, 2008 8:59 PM EST up reply actions  

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  

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  

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.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
