Yeah but he’d be so nervous and put so much pressure on himself he’d be a mess. I’d like a more controlled setting for him to show his goods. He’s seemed to have a problem shining in big moments so far in his career so giving him a debut in MON seems like it’s a nice thing to do for him, but not setting him up to succeed. I also don’t think his play (really production since I don’t watch Hershey) has warranted a call up over Osala so far.

Both are wings and both are waiver exempt. Not sure whether either one is better suited to RW. I think Bouchard is a natural RW and Osala is a natural LW but with AO and Semin both had better be able to play RW if they want to play for the Caps.

He can still use a D as a screen after he receives the pass. When Backstrom carries the puck the D back in more than when AO does and that lets AO get more space and closer to the net.

The Habs got an early 1-0 lead so the Leafs fans were hearing it but the Leafs scored like 7 unanswered to dominate. Best hockey game I’ve ever been to.

I don’t really think Paleta should have gotten suspended for that hit. The big difference between his and the one he took from Ovie was he really hit the guy in the numbers whereas Ovechkin hit him shoulder to shoulder. But both times the guy with the puck sees the hit coming and turns away from it. Stupidity or that attempt to draw a call shouldn’t get rewarded…then you won’t see guys doing that and getting hurt.

I agree it’s worse than the Ovechkin hit b/c he hit the guy right between the numbers (clearly from behind). But the guy with the puck intentionally/stupidly puts himself in that position by turning at the last second. No way he can stop in time to prevent the hit.

The second the author put up a “defense of Theo” post after Theo cost us game 1 against the Rags and Varlamov had played well against the Rags in at least game 2, maybe 3 as well. Repeat.

I only caught the third period of the game, but from the looks of the first 18 minutes of that period, the Caps did not look like they wanted to win, nor did it appear as they should win. They coughed up the puck more times than I would like to remember, tried the cute and pretty pass instead of just putting the puck to the net. If you look at all three goals tonight, they were just pucks on net. No pretty passing play to the backdoor. Just hard slapshots into the net, deflected into the net, or picking up the garbage.

I need 100% of you guys to give 110% 100% of the time.

Sure, but Plekanec would have never had that shot had the Caps not just finished off that 5 on 3. Considering he had a couple of beautiful saves right before that, I can’t blame him for that goal.

Granted 21 saves on 24 shots isn’t pretty, most of those saves were. Plus the shutout in the shootout… I thinks he deserves some recognition.

I agree with bigone, though – it seemed clear to me that Varly lost sight of it, rather than never having seen it in the first place, which, to me, is a subtle, but clear difference.

He should have been 2nd Star to Fehr, though, no doubt.
