I’m a little surprised Varlamov gets the start tonight. I’m not necessarily saying I’m against it or don’t see the value in the decision…just that I’m surprised.
Boudreau announced that JT was his starter, and JT got the start in Boston…AND played very well. It just seems that if you were, in fact, the “starter”, you wouldn’t be sitting on the bench for two straight games at this time of the year.
Either way, I feel pretty good about either one of these guys right now, so let’s go get ’em!

Boudreau must be taking his media interaction cues from Mr. McPhee.

Ha. Funny.
Nice interview you did over on Broad Street, btw. The guy called you “David Getz”, which is just plain weird. The whole world knows you’re DMG (“yeah, you know me”).

I can’t say I’m happy with Varlamov going tonight. I was hoping to see Theo…I never thought I’d say that.
I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.

It’s really interesting to see we’re all sort of favoring Theo over Varly right now, especially compared to the Rink over the entirety of summer.

By the way, I like how Tarik’s tweet says Varly will star tonight. Hopefully prophetic.
by gfcaps fan on Oct 6, 2009 6:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
How’s this for a rotation: For every three games, Theo starts the first, Varly starts the second, and then whoever played better starts the third.

Dear G.O.D.,
Do I count? I could probably start every third game on that standard.

Predictions, gotta leave soon for The Front Page!
The good:
Backstrom gets a real nice highlight-reel ES goal tonight
Laich gets a goofy PP goal
The bad:
PK unit gives one up
The Care Bears get cute and get burned
The ugly:
Let’s just hope it doesn’t go to a shootout
The wildcard:
Alexander Ovechkin – can the Flyers solve him? Without boxing in the rest of the DC sniper brigade, I mean?
Let’s go Caps!
IS PAЯTY NOW
by Your Nation's Capital on Oct 6, 2009 5:22 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
My keys to the game:
- Can the Caps D stay with the Flyers’ forwards enough to keep their scoring chances to a reasonably low level; and
- Will Emery wilt under the Caps pressure?
If Emery holds up, I think the Flyers look better on paper. They have the D to hang with the Caps shock troops up front, and I like their speed advantage against the Caps D.
But that’s a big “if”…if they play simple and pay the price for puck possession, the Caps can come at you in waves.

While I appreciate the distinction, it’s on the BSH domain and it reflects upon them that it’s even still up there (and I realize that’s what the second sentence of your comment is getting at). I get a little upset when I see garbage like that on BSH or Pensburgh because I’ve come to expect more from the guys that run those sites.

I agree. It’s annoying when Hooks, et al come on this site all nicey-nice, and when you go to their site you find them calmly posting in threads with trolls like carolinaeasy.
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
by fat_daddyo on Oct 6, 2009 6:37 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Here’s the thing. Hooks is still the same guy on his site so I don’t think it’s like a two-faced thing. I think he genuinely has a good head on his shoulders and knows his hockey. But there are a couple of regulars over there, carolinaeasy being one, that would be considered trolls if they went anywhere but their Home Blog. Should Hooks have to ignore or ban a regular? Especially when the guy isn’t pissing off the rest of their own regulars or Pens fans? I think it puts Hooks in a tough spot and as long as he is willing to let people hash out the battles when someone does take exception to a troll-erific comment then I have no problem with him turning a blind eye when it’s not absolutely ridiculous.

Agreed. As much as we hate the Flyers/Penguins, I don’t believe anyone’s written anything of that capacity on this blog. Caps/Flyers is a fierce rivalry, but i guess they should understand that there’s a line.

thank you. I don’t generally pull out the woman card, but even joking about rape of any sort is incredibly offensive to me. Moreso than the “pool of blood” remark (which ranks up there as pretty horrible)

Richards with a hat trick. one of their Dmen (not pronger) has 4 assists.
Semins’s had a beauty. Ovi’s in Emery’s head (2 goals)
Ref’s suck.
Stupid penalties by our D.
