Why should we be?
We have no offense. No defense. No goaltending. No PP. No PK.

I was tempted to go on a screed about Martin Erat, but I’m kind of saving it for now.
Basically, he’s the anti-Ovechkin. Alex goes to the net like a mad dog after a piece of steak. Erat, on the other hand, peels away at the slightest threat and prefers to waterbug with the puck around the perimeter.

Losing 4 in a row is one thing, but the Preds have simply played awful of late. We’re used to a lack of scoring, but soft defense is another thing entirely.

Fighting, sure (Greener ain’t 6’4", 230) but Green definitely has it in him to lay people out if the ain’t paying attention. He doesn’t hit all that often, but when he does it can be brutal.

Ovechkin forechecks much more effectively with 9 and 22. I think when Backstrom and Semin are out there, he lets them play the D and he cherry-picks. With 9 and 22 he’s much more active looking for a takeaway. I like it.

I generally think the Caps leave their skates too often — both because they go down prematurely and because they get out of position and have to dive in desperation. But that was a textbook play by Fehr, and he doesn’t get any credit for it because he didn’t actually block the shot — he forced the shooter to shoot high.

they can’t expect to be great from the get-go. Thats why Hanlon was here for 2 years even though the Caps were losing. If the team is expected to be better, than the coach is the problem. This Preds team is on track.

dunno—OV is the kind of player for whom shooting percentage doesn’t apply as rigorously. The guy just pounds it, and if he stays healthy he has a real shot at 50/50.

Players occasionally have seasons where they shoot way over their career percentage and end up with career-high numbers as a result, then regress. It’s possible that he makes it, it’s just fantastically unlikely, even with 9 goals in 8 games. He still needs 41 more in 42 contests, which is better than he’s ever done in his career. His best 50 game stretch was 43, if I recall correctly.

If the ad nauseum NHLN re run of Gretzky’s sprint to 50 in 39 games(!) serves me, he potted 9 in games 38 and 39. Nine. Gotta think Ovie needs at least 7-8 hatties in this day and age.

fantastically unlikely … that’s what i love about this possibility. the same thing was said of the Gretzky’s assault. with that said, it’s definitely a far different game in these days than 81’-82.

To me, the understanding is that he has a shot at it if and only if he gets a few hat trick-plus games to cushion his total from no-goal nights. If we see him do that tonight, there will some chatter.
by sixsevenfiftysix on Oct 17, 2009 7:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he has had a lot of 2 goal games. That’ll sure work
by hockeyman33 on Oct 17, 2009 7:44 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he’ll need a few of those magical 4 or 5 goal nights for sure. i keep thinking of Gretzky’s 4 goal night on his 38th game and the 5 netted on the milestone night of the 39th game in ’81-82.
by UnleashFurry on Oct 17, 2009 7:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Frankly, you can be a gritty, physical team that’s no fun to play against without taking stupid roughing calls.
It worked for Anaheim because they had JS Giguere playing inspired hockey, with two first-ballot hall-of-fame defensemen on the ice, one with unbelievable wheels and one nasty, brutish, positionally sound sonofabitch. It does not work for us.

Caps dominated the second period and came out of it down 0-2 for the period. The Preds didn’t get a shot on net until 10:32 or something like that. Ellis kept them in the game and then Weber blasted one over Varly’s glove as the trailer. One soft goal a la Brads on Lundqvist in Game 5 and it’s all tied up.
Semin failed to convert on a breakaway and didn’t finish on another 2-1. Other than not finding the net, he’s having a great game.
The 8-9-22 line continues to look great.

second goal= inexcusable. Dumont from the corner. Shea Weber bomb from 50 ft for the other—no chance, really, but high glove. again.

I’d say the latter, though the second goal was flung enough to give him a pass on. Honestly if he can’t sort this out and Neuvirth is good to go, I’d consider making a change within the next couple of weeks.

Varly also unquestionably lucked out on a breakaway attempt which hit the post, came back to his skate, and bounced off the same post again. A near disaster.

It’s nothing personal against the guy, but those soft goals really hurt team morale, and the meltdowns can’t happen in NHL games. The fact that Neuvirth is also a viable option (at least once he gets his legs under him) means less patience for now with Varly.

Theodore was in the same position last year. Took him a while to start putting forth solid goaltending (comeback regular season game against Rangers.) I worry more about demoting Semyon and messing with his confidence long term. This is the regular season … a long grind and the reason why Theo is #1.
I’d rather the Caps take the route in handling Semyon the way the Pens handled Fleury as opposed to the way Montreal handled Price. Or, for that matter how the Caps handled Carey a while back.

and you know, to be completely honest, Varly was solid in the first. His big issue is coming back after a flukey goal and all that mental stuff. Treating him like a price would just shoot that to hell I think.
