Anyone up for a 13 round shoot-out?

I would personally prefer a regulation win.

by CraigD on Nov 13, 2009 5:07 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I’d rather a tie than a 13 round shoot-out. No gimmicks for tonight.

I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.

Win pleez, but if a Gimmick it is, then we won ours and they lost theirs.

Advantage: us.

Goalie

So is Varly the goalie because Theo was so bad last time an Varly was breathtaking? Makes sense to me but didn’t Bruce say that he wasn’t going to go with the hot hand earlier in the season??

by Bman21212 on Nov 13, 2009 5:13 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Varly was going to get this nod before Theo’s last start because it’s a 3 in 4 situation – Theo was supposed to get the first and last, I assume, and Varly the second. It has nothing to do with the last game.

You forget that CSN insists on forcing Maryland sports (Ravens, Orioles, and University) down our throats.

You really think CSN forces the Ravens and O’s down our throats? I think they force the Skins down our throats way too much. Since they lost the contract with the Ravens and O’s, they barely do any features on them.

I’m not complaining about Maryland, though. ;-)

Orioles, yes. It’s always looked to me like the Nationals play second fiddle to the Orioles for dumb reasons (Of note, I’m a Cardinals fan). Also, Ravens seemed to get a lot of coverage. I wasn’t aware they lost their contract, but in the past, it always seemed to me to be Maryland-Centric, and frankly, so is MASN.

I choose not to watch MASN. I feel like Anita Marks is the only original content they have and her show is based out of Baltimore, so I get the O’s/Ravens/Maryland thing. You have to expect Maryland coverage though. It’s one of the biggest local programs.

I actually preferred CSN’s coverage of the O’s and Ravens to MASN’s coverage now. I find that they do a good job of splitting O’s and Nats coverage, despite not having TV rights anymore.

by terpgrrl on Nov 13, 2009 7:07 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I don’t just base it on TV, for what it’s worth. WaPo is crazy pro O’s, and seems to avoid the Nats.

Sorry, I’m in Bmore so I only read CI and the Bog on WaPo.com, so I can’t comment on that.

The Sun has zero Nats coverage, and barely any Caps coverage. They don’t even have a hockey tab in their online sports section. You have to go to “other sports”

by terpgrrl on Nov 13, 2009 7:11 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

WaPo dropped their Os beat writer position, and no longer does a weekly Os baseball chat (any Os chat, actually). They don’t ignore the Nats, heck, Boz had a column at the top of the sports section today devoted 75% to the nats (and 25% to “Ted, I’m sorry, I was really really wrong, you were right, and now the Caps are awesome.”)

Although Nats coverage isn’t what it used to be since Svrluga went to the Skins beat. (sad)

You’re on the same page as me — for favorite baseball teams. I’m primarily a Cardinals fan but also root for the Nats and O’s. (Now I get more torn in loyalties during Cardinals-Nats games.)

OT – but the Islanders are already up 2-0 over the Canes. Tavares scored within the first 5 minutes. That’s 6 for him on the season, for those that might care.

On the Wild broadcast team

One thing that somehow was swept under the rug was that a couple weeks ago, Owen Nolan just missed deflecting in a heavy slapshot and Terhaar (pbp guy) said “Well, you know an Irishman can handle a live grenade.” We all kinda looked at each other in disbelief.

We had hoped that was our chance to get him out.

Yeah but that last one was pretty stand-still. I do think they’ve been more creative and moving more. BMo has a lot to do with that. A lot of PPs the movement starts at the point and you’ve seen BMo moving around the zone but AO pretty much hangs out in that quadrant of the zone. He really needs to be all over.

This

And I propose that the restrictions on “This” be loosened for GDT’s because nobody refreshes the pages to see the actual recs. “This” will tip off those already in the conversation.

People don’t like “This” because it just takes up space and doesn’t add anything. Normally you see the rec and you can tell when people agree with you. That won’t auto refresh like the comments so all the recs that have been dropped since you opened this thread are still “0 recs.” In that case I think it makes more sense to use “This” because it gives the visual tip of agreement that normally “X recs” provides.

He had time out high but wasn’t confident to shoot so he held it too long and didn’t get a good shot. The D got a piece of it too I’m pretty sure. And as BL notes below, it still led to an good scoring chance. By nitpicking I’m pointing out how strong his game is; it’s a rhetorical effect.

D got a stick on it right at release. Point was that if he was confident in his shot he rips it before the D is there.

by bigonetimer on Nov 13, 2009 9:03 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Here’s a crazy suggestion. Yes, I’m the first to admit it’s crzay. If we wanted to bring Ovi back comparatively slowly (and not give him uber minutes upon coming back), put Ovi on the third line with Perrault and Clark. We’ll then get to see what Perrault does with real talent on his line. Voila, three scoring lines. (I would have said, leave the “top” two lines alone but we have a vacancy since Knubs is out. Maybe put Fehr in Knubs’ place.)

Or course, we still put Ovi on the power play (maybe not at the point.)

We’ll move Ovi back to his customary spot once his “feet are wet” and/or when either the current 1st or 2nd line needs a spark.
