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.

Glad other people notice how solid Beagle has been.

So I’m sure this isn’t as cool to you, because you probably do it all the time. But when I was in HS I went to a Habs/Leafs game at Molson Center. The Leafs were my second team back then because Gilmour was my favorite player so I was rooting for the Leafs. 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.

So did he call out AO?

If consequences dictate the course of action, then it doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught. If consequences dictate the course of action, then I should play God...

No, although he showed the Kaleta hit he got 2 games for. I think that was harsh, even if it was a little worse than Ovechkin’s hit.

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.

That’s a dirty hit by Kaleta.

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.

He was facing the boards the whole time.

I wasn’t watching that closely to be honest. Not going to go look it up.

Jesus christ. I sneak online to find an invasion of Toronto fans!! Did someone forget to spray the blog again?

Also, loving the healthy dose of Giroux-hate I’m seeing. I don’t know enough curse words in French to yell at him adequately. New gameplan, G-Rox – if you’re going to “play” on the top line, just pass the puck to Ovie or Backstrom and get the fuck out of the way.

…ahem.

Hey, I’ll have you know I haven’t put my hair up in donut-shaped braids in years!
