Yeah, maybe could have gotten a couple of more shots with all that zone time, but about as good of a PP as you can get without a goal. I’m liking AO down low, it’s pulling the PKers in more and giving Morrison and Green more room at the points.

Yeah, good catch – obviously not everyone will be healthy and each player has a role to play so call ups somewhat match the role of the injured player. At this point I don’t know what to think of the Nyles situation. I prefer not to think of it at all and just hope for the quickest resolution.

Sigh. Langway would’ve put his stick on Moen’s and it would have been like it was super-glued in place. That’s the way to defend a guy in front. Very poor tie up by Poti.

but taking 3 penalties in the 3rd period didn’t help our cause. first time i’ve seen a diving call in a long time…. (BMo got “caught” doing that) I didn’t think it was a dive…there was a stick in between his legs - and I’m talking about the wooden kind….

I couldn’t believe that call. I’ve NEVER seen a fiving call. And later on, I saw a dive made by a Canadien that would have made a Eudyptula proud. Eudyptula is the scientific classification of the LIttle Fairy Penguin and translates literally to “good little diver”.

faceoff
Did anyone see the faceoff in the 3rd period (midway thru , I think)?? The linesman got fed up waiting for the Habs center and just dropped it without him there. Caps won that draw easily…. never seen that before.

Montreal announcers said it was a set play(?)
Let them win the faceoff?!!
I don’t think so

the officiating was miserable. was it my imagination, or did the refs seem a bit chippy?

Agreed. Some questionable calls and non calls. Pretty even through the night though.

another to be called up from Hershey for Poti … will it be Alzner?

I’m guessing it’ll be a F; Sloan fell back to take Poti’s spot.

It’s possible; you could put Steckel on the 4th line, move Beagle to that wing and put OO on the left side of the Perreault line.

It’s a great feeling knowing that Hershey can be tapped for NHL caliber players. Once upon a time that was not so…

The boys on Hershey are probably better than the guys we got. (LOL) Okay, I’m just annoyed since we lost — again. In a game we once led.
