Habs Eyes on the Prize is more like The Flower right now. Look we get that you love Guy, but is all of that needed?

I really liked the MP piece Corey did.

Langway piece was sad. Every time I hear about or see similar situations I think about how thankful I have the parents I do.

Re: Langway as as parent

All I can think of is (a) at least he was paying his child support, (b) the mom doesn’t exactly strike me as saintly, and © he admits his reading skills were poor but evidently good enough for UNH to accept him.
What do I do about my yahoo name (Hope no one on the receiving end reads this blog, I guess)?

Keep the name. Nothing in that article takes away from his on-ice achievements or his importance to the Caps. If you’re looking for perfection of character, don’t look to pro athletes. And besides, from all the quotes in the article, Langway comes off as the adult in the room.

putting athletes on a pedestal ended for me when i read frank deford’s kirby puckett story in SI. (and i’m not even a twins fan.) as much as we think we know about these players, we don’t really know.

You probably won’t see this Natty since this thread is old, but your reference to Puckett caused me to surf around to refresh my memory, especially his death. Here is the last paragraph in his Wikipedia page:

The details of Kirby Puckett’s death are now in some doubt, as he has reportedly been viewed on several flights to and from Minneapolis Airport, including a flight from San Fransisco to Minneapolis on November 29, 2009.

Double Unfortunate

The situation, and the fact the Post ran an article on it, both are lamentable. If you’re gonna run 18" of Caps gossip, interview Nylander’s travel agent.

So for everyone who engaged Canes Country in the September Are the Washington Capitals Ripe for a Fall? — a little bit of schadenfreude following the Cane’s epic fail last night. If I was a Pennsylvania hockey fan, I’m sure I would actually feel good about this (and probably go over there and gloat about how much they suck), but since I’m a Caps fan I actually just feel bad about how far the Canes have fallen. May the rebuild start soon and bring you young riches, Caniacs.

In more cheerful Hockey action, you have to love a sequence that sees the Caps beat Buffalo in a way that leaves the Sabres motivated to play really well in their next game — against the Flyers. It doesn’t get much better than a 2-0 win against the Sabres, and then a 4-2 victory by the now-angry Sabres over Philly.

Atta dinnin stick a who!

by Gould Old Days on Nov 28, 2009 12:03 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Eff that. I hope Carolina’s rebuild takes longer than the Panthers’ and is more disjointed then ATL and TBL’s combined. It’s about time for those chumps. You mean you can’t neglect your farm, trade away your best prospect for short-term help, and hire 35+ players and perpetually compete? Weird. The ’Canes have been playing with fire for years and somehow kept their head above water. No sympathy. May their best player constantly stall and their high picks always be busts.

Man they would skewer me. I think Bubba had his finger on the ban button when I got into it with them over their “Top Players in the SE” post. Coming in and gloating when they are down would not fly well, no matter how right I am or how much they deserve it. I think “win graciously” should be on the Japers’ Rink Rats’ Rules for Away Games. But man, it would be fun.

F&B, Carolina is obviously one of your least favorite teams. They ARE the best geographical rival in the SE division and I do consider them a major rival of the Caps, during most years. They are annoying as heck. I STILL consider them a lesser evil than the Pens.

They definitely are one of my least favorite teams, but I don’t know that they are a better geographic rival than PHI; and geography notwithstanding they don’t hold a candle to the Patrick division. And yes, they are a lesser evil than either PA team, but how much does that really say?

I find Carolina to be a minor irritant. Oh, Carolina, how cute, they want to be our rivals, and all that. But I don’t twitch at the mere mention of their name, and I sure as hell don’t clear my calendar for game days.

The highlight of Carolina games, for me, is playing “spot the Whaler jerseys” at the phone booth

I agree with most of that. ‘Canes Country helped ramp my hatred of CAR up a notch, and the fact that they have a Cup and the fans love to throw it out there like that legitimizes their fanhood pisses me off. You can’t follow up “Mike Green should be a wingarrrrr” with “well we have a Cup” and think that makes your hockey knowledge any better.

The fact that they have a Cup and we don’t (and the fact they went further than us in the playoffs last year) irritates me to no end. They remind me in many ways of the younger sibling who your parents like better than you for some reason.

fedorov on scotty bowman’s handling of the russian red wings:

I understand it now: Scotty Bowman had too many hot potatoes on his hands that he needed to juggle to keep the team successful. But back then, I think North American coaches still hadn’t realized that Russians play every game from the heart, that it’s not routine. For years those reproaches were all we heard: “The Russians have no idea what a playoff is, they haven’t felt the Stanley Cup…” Nowadays, plenty of people have proved that wasn’t the case. Look at Zhenya Malkin! If they had let us show what we could do back then the way they’re letting him in Pittsburgh, there would have been a nuclear revolution in hockey. Although, then the outflow of Russian hockey players leaving for the NHL would have been even stronger. So there were pluses and minuses to that underestimation.

when asked if he holds a grudge against bowman:

There’s no point holding a grudge for so many years. You only make yourself worse. But I really didn’t understand it then.

Well his last 4-5 games he hasn’t had the same impact as his first games. I don’t know if that’s luck of the draw, the initial adrenaline wearing off, or maybe the fact that I missed 2 games. He just hasn’t looked quite as explosive. I’m interested to see how he handles the nerves and adrenaline tonight.

I think he’s looked pretty good but the team overall was sort of slumping. He isn’t Ovechkin or Semin yet so I think it would be hard for him to completely change the game without help from his line mates. He’s still been working really hard, digging the puck out of corners, and setting his ’mates up with money passes.

One guy just drove his semi as a float. I guess semis are cool.

The fact that he was a Canadiens fan who idolized Koivu just makes me love this kid even more. If he brings even half the heart Koivu has brought and continues to bring, we’re in good shape!

As a Caps fan w/ a weakness for the Habs, Koivu has long been one of my favorites. I was up in Montreal during his battle with cancer and my sister and I ran into him at a bar after a Habs-Sabres game; he was still bald from the chemo and he looked tired, but he couldn’t have been nicer or more genuine to everyone who approached him. Great guy.

He have played 22 games got 7 goals 6 assist he’s one point behind Per Ã…slund that leads the scoring for Färjestad. Johansson has played fewer games then several other players though b/c he played for Sweden U-20 team and he’s been sick. He is at 47 in points in SEL and Peter Forsberg just passed him with only 7 games played. And yes I know that’s not a fair comparison.

Frankly, I thought that Kaleta’s hit on Ross was worse than the hit that Ovi did on him. Ross was down and out for a lot longer from PK than PK was from Ovi.

Rocking the Red since 1975

by CapsFan75 on Nov 28, 2009 4:31 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

and Kaleta’s hit was clearly in the back. Ovi hit his shoulder.

by Gin and Tonic on Nov 28, 2009 4:32 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

It was worse. I also think Ovie’s was more shoulder on shoulder while Kaleta’s was definitely from behind, even though it was Ross who turned.

But that’s not going to stop people from comparing them (they were very similar situations) and referring to the NHL’s double standard.

I actually thought that might factor into him not getting suspended.

by gfcaps fan on Nov 28, 2009 4:36 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

that’s what I thought.

I believe the kid saw #22 first coming in pretty quickly from the right and made a counterclockwise turn to brace himself for the hit from him. Kaleta came from the left and slightly behind and Ross never saw him coming or I just can’t imagine he would have ever turned like he did.

Kaleta’s hit was worse but I don’t think it merited a suspension. This just makes it look like AO got star treatment when really Kaleta probably got goon treatment.

Yeah well, the comparison is inevitable. Apparently some people think the AO hit on Kaleta was actually worse. PHI fans at that. How deep must the AO-hate be that they think the AO hit was worse than the one on their own guy. I’m not even getting into the Briere stuff with those clowns, that was a pretty blatant stick/glove to the face after the play, not sure why it’s controversial to suspend him.
