“Bold” prediction: Knuble nets a pair.
I boldly predict you’ll be peer pressured into an avatar.

Peer pressuring into an avatar is essentially peer pressured into being unique. Strange.

Lineup’s here
Are we really CareBearing vs. Philly tonight? Grim.
from the house that Red Jesus built
Gotta do something to try and get AO and Nick going…I expect the top line produces, but the second line has struggled when they’ve been together. The third line…ugh.
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
I’m a balanced scoring line advocate, and I think Nick and Semin can work some magic without AO. If Tarik is right, the Richards-Hartnell line prolly draws the Care Bears and Briere-Carter will take on Laich-Mo-Knuble.

Naw. Happy to see Care Bears today. Like old times. Boston, Toronto, with more of a sixty-minute flavor.
IS PAЯTY NOW
Go Caps. Caps win. Pee-ere scores a goal with a deflection off his lady-parts. Ovi scores 66 goals.

I’ve seen it asked for elsewhere and I brought it up in another thread, so I’ll explain sarcasm font. It’s actually some sort of programming code that Royals Review discovered by accident via a glitch and OTM picked up.
It looks like this.
Here’s how it’s done: put sarcasm in between the tags <.code> and <./code>, leaving out the periods. Note: it only works for one line at a time of sarcasm, because any more than about a line gets cut off. Also, don’t put it directly under text because this (see below) will happen.

I’m told there were no KHL scouts in the pressbox to watch Micael Nylander in Grand Rapids last week. I’m also told there was no noticeable increase in NHL scouts in attendance on hand to watch Michael Nylander at Grand Rapids.

From 2 sources in DC: Flyers G Emery came off after warmups and smashed a TV monitor on his way back to the dressing room, wrecking it.
"I'm just doing karate and trying to get females pregnant."
Whoa. I did see him come flying off the ice and nearly faceplant into the bench when he was done with warmups, so something was going on…

I feel the same away about avatars as Ovechkin does about speed limits.
Pothier is the anti-Shultz. He moves so well and makes the occasional pretty play so you get fooled into thinking he’s better than he really is.

That might be a little harsh.

On what basis? He’s played how many games since his return? He got benched like clockwork by Hanlon before he was hurt, and if you go through the game recaps this season so far there have been at least a couple calling out poor performances by Pothier.

Ben, what’s the story with Pyorala? Is he a call-up with role player potential, or is it just a depth thing?
"I'm just doing karate and trying to get females pregnant."
He was supposed to be a big scorer. Veteran guy from Sweden, more of a finesse scorer type. He was great in the pre-season and scored a handful, but has been invisible so far in the regular season. Big let down thus far.

OT, last night I was skating at Kettler on the Caps rink (rather than on the community sheet) — I could see in one of the office windows a Leonhardt jersey hanging on a hanger. Was I actually looking up at Stretch’s cubicle?

why do we not stand up guys at the blue line on the power play? seems to work very well against us while we give easy entry and allow guys to take pot shot after pot shot.

Hey, can someone remind me of the rule if a defender pushes a forward into the goalie during a Flyers-Caps game and the puck ends up in the net, how that should be called?
Oh yeah, if the Caps are defending, it’s a goal. If it’s the Flyers, no goal.
I guess Ovechkin was lucky not to get a phantom goalie interference…
Atta dinnin stick a who!
I like Ovechkin reminding Richards why he goes for blind side hits instead of coming at them from the front.

You’d lose more on a real bike. You burn like 3x more calories out riding hard on a road than you do on a trainer
I’m sure I would but there are bikes in the basement of my building and TVs in the room. I also hate DC weather for about 10-11 months of the year so realistically I’m not going to ride a real bike.

No, Crosby didn’t stop whining. But Crosby also never bitched out on his own beat writers. AO hurt his ankle in that series and when he was on the ice Richards skated by and did a diving hand gesture and a “waaa waaa” gesture.

True. It was an old story but with Lupul in town (for the only time all year) I figured he could suck it up and deal. When your own GM is publicly saying it’s an issue I have a hard time with the Captain saying it’s not and then acting like that.

Yeah, well the GM said it was an issue in April. He obviously could have handled it better, but the reporters he ignored also suggested Lupul was traded – not to get Chris Pronger – because he went out to bars. Ridiculous assertion.

OK, so here is the deal on this. The Caps are last in the league amongst teams that have actually scored on a 5-on-3 scoring 0.1 G per 30 seconds of 5v3. The Flyers are first in the league allowing 0 goals in 5 mins 24 seconds of shorthanded 3v5 time (not including this game of course). In essence, the Caps are bad and the Flyers are quite good.

Because 19 and 28 traditionally skate large chunks of PP time. I really don’t mind two balanced PP units, and I sure don’t mind two d-men on the PP if it means the stars can be used in later situations.

Blocked lanes, which could be the result of shoddy team play and/or good PK work? They’ve played four Top 10 units so far already (including tonight), after all.

Engblom agrees that Powe shouldn’t have been penalized because “Theo was out of the crease.” I would agree with that if that’s how the NHL called it, but it’s not. The crease really is irrelevant in the way they call the game now.

I just don’t know how Powe was physically supposed to avoid Theodore there. It’s as if he was locked into a GI call just for pursuing a puck thrown at the net with speed.

I agree. But ideally a player has control of himself charging the net. If Theo was a foot back, in the blue ice, I’m not sure Powe could have stopped. And based on how the NHL calls the game today they had to call that a PIM.

Why does the rebound not count on a penalty shot, but it does in the shootout? Or doesn’t it in the shootout — I’m remembering the SO goal that dribbled off the goalie’s back.

A rebound is when the player hits it himself again. If it hits the crossbar, goalies back, and in, that’s not technically a rebound, it’s still the initial shot.

Flyers lead 38-31 now, with all that lead coming in the 3rd.

Juice with another bone-headed “non-conventional pass.”

Agreed. Staying out of the box, and that didn’t come back to haunt.

Sloan getting an O-zone faceoff, solid, solid.
Maybe play with an edge, be a little more physical -- maybe be more of a prick out there.

That Timmonen play on Brads looked an awful lot like a New-NHL-Interference. Great play in the old NHL though.

Turning point of the game: when I had to go to Target. We were down 2-0 when I went inside and have outscored them 4-0 since.
Can you pick up a night shift there?

If quitting college and getting a night shift at Target would guarantee the Caps a Cup, I would totally do it.

I still can’t figure out how the Caps play at the level of their opponents each and every game, no matter who their opponent is.
I need 100% of you guys to give 110% 100% of the time.
Really? They weren’t doing that for a little while today.

Yes. And add two of the Care Bears to that. Perhaps we need four stars.

With 20 (Holy crap!) saves in the 3rd? Yeah. Backstrom and AO are 2nd and 3rd.

Second thought: Threeormore only let in…Two. That just doesn’t fit the rhyme scheme. And I love it.

To be fair, he’s two and a halformore this year so far.

He has looked very sharp lately. Hasn’t needed the D to bail him out routinely and has bailed out the D a few times himself. Definitely good to see.

No one seems to give a crap when I mention this, but Mike Green now has a least one point in each of the last six games straight.

It’s only fitting if one of them is down a man, since they can’t do anything on even strength.

My buddy seriously effed up his knee a couple years back. They have him one vicodin and when he went to take it, the pill broke in half and fell down the sink. Said it was the saddest moment of his life

Fun fact of the night:
Steckel took 27 faceoffs and won 16 (59%)
The rest of the team took 42 and won 21.
When’s Gordon come back?

I definitely had higher hopes for offensive production from Steckel, but I’m willing to settle for not a defensive liability (like Gordon has been early) so far. His play definitely hasn’t been as good as I expected but c’est la vie.
by Steckel Me Elmo on Oct 27, 2009 10:06 PM EDT up reply actions
Stecks’ points per ES60 is less than half of what he had last year, and he’s not seeing a noticeable change in TOI. He’s got a perfect opportunity to show off why he scored 30 goals in his last year in the A. I’d be happy with half that.
