Around SBN: Fighters React to Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

"Defenseman Tom Poti, who left last night's game with what's believed to be a groin muscle pull, did not practice today and was moving slowly when he walked out of Kettler Capitals Iceplex. His status for tomorrow's game is unclear."

I think of Poti as the glue that hold the team’s defense together right now. Let’s hope he isn’t hurt too badly, but that is not a good sign.

I only wish they described how he was moving slowly… like he’d been riding a horse?

SHUT UP MIRTLE, the injury situation has become too dire for even the most ardent Capitals supporter to make light of, and is especially off-limits for snooty canadian reporters.

for what exactly? the word snooty is too abrasive? “shut up” hurt your feelings? for having a differing opinion from the all-mighty mirtle? should i be scared?

your comment wasnt cute or funny. deal with it.

“too dire” for people to make a joke about? It’s hockey, it isn’t life or death.

“Here’s the latest on the Caps’ dire injury situation:”
-tarik el-bashir, capitals insider, 11/28/08

make sure you go ahead and correct tarik as well on his choice of words, smart guy.

Dire in the sense that it’s pretty bad for the team. Not dire as in it’s too serious to joke about (very, very few things are THAT dire)

Chill the fuck out.

Mirtle had his tongue firmly planted in cheek with his “soon you will be banned” comment. Christ ovechrist….relax.

actually i had a warning today as a result, but its my fault really. had i looked at his picture before i would have known hes a softy and probably asked him to hush please instead of shut up, as to not hurt his feelings. dont get so defen*S*ive

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.
