PHI loses again. Smartest guy on the ice puts the nail in the coffin in the final minute.

I wandered off to Nashville / Columbus but (for tonight) Go Habs Go.

BTW – Nashville’s PxP and color duo are funny XD Just sayin’.

Yea, got that 1 on too. I tried watching PHI-OTT but the picture on GCL was so blurry I couldn’t watch.

this is way late now, but PHI-OTT was on CSN-DC in HD. I started watching that game, moved onto Survivor, came back and it was still 0-0 and Philly was on the PP. I was happy to see Ottawa win. I love when Philly loses.

I caught the last couple of minutes of the game. Is it wrong that I cheered the Ottawa shutout almost as much as I would a Caps win?

Those guys are really fun. Perfect tone for that market too, IMO. They genuinely seem like they are having fun and like each other.

Exactly this, plus they’re entertaining to listen to and the PxP guy doesn’t put me to sleep.

From 0-3 to 5-3, what a comeback by EDM over STL (who were wearing their classy thirds).

Didn’t see any of it. Watched SJS/DAL. Great first period then it got bogged down.

Yeah, I couldn’t sleep last night so I watched that. I actually enjoyed it – not being on one side or the other (much) I could appreciate the mighty goalie duel that that whole game was. Nabokov is given to sprawling, yes?

Refs in the VAN/MIN game getting it right on Boogaard’s dive. No call on Bieksa, PP for VAN.

Watching the replay of VAN/MIN, I would eat a fistful of kittens to have Kevin Bieksa or Ryan Kesler on our team.

Or Rypien. They’ve got lots of guys the Caps could use.

Starting with the goalie.

by Knee high to a duck on Dec 13, 2009 4:08 PM EST up reply actions  

I'm actually in the minority

When you look at goalies, I don’t really think it’s worth paying one 6+ million. That’s a ton of cap hit, if the guy gets hurt you are sunk, and 6 million dollar goalies haven’t had a ton of playoff success lately. I’d rather have a reliable goalie and put more cap space into the guys that skate. Obviously you can go too far, like the PHI model, and not even have a quality No. 1, but thinking about what we would have to give up to pay for a guy like Luongo I’m not sure it’s worth it.

You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.

by Fehr and Balanced on Dec 13, 2009 5:23 PM EST up reply actions  

I’m not sure it’s worth it, but we could use a dominant goalie and once you get past the first month of the season, Luongo is just that.

I wonder how much of that failure in the playoffs is just wearing down from starting 70+ games over the course of the season? The coach may feel pressure to play the guy if he’s got such a huge contract, but I’ve been absolutely unimpressed with Kipper, Luongo and Brodeur in the playoffs as of late.

Now, do I think we’d get more benefit out of an elite defenseman? Absolutely. A guy like Shea Weber would do this team a world of good.

by Knee high to a duck on Dec 13, 2009 7:39 PM EST up reply actions  

Another observation – Vancouver has some great chemistry and does a really good job at finding the skater in open ice.

Yeah they looked great last night. The Sedins really put on a clinic for most of the game.

The Samuelsson-Kesler-Raymond line looked great for stretches too.

Tonight has been a real lesson for all the people that clamor for a “crease clearing D.” BOS and BUF have gone shorthanded when one of their D “cleared the crease.” That shit just doesn’t fly in the New NHL.

So much for the penalty. PHI gets an empty net shorty. That actually brings back memories of one of the Caps/Panthers games last year. Greener had a shorty in the final minute.
