I expect to see a much tighter defensive game from the Caps tonight—way, way too loose in our own end for 4 of the last 6 periods. 55 needs to be paired with Juice, Poti with Ersky please!

by bigonetimer on Dec 12, 2009 5:22 PM EST reply actions  

Ideally 55 is paired with someone that is a little more fleet of foot, but the Caps don’t exactly have a plethora of those types on their blueline right now.

here’s my game plan: i’ll be here for analysis of the cap’s play (we play them next week, so it’s worthwhile to get a good look at that), and i’ll keep the truculence over at PPP (unless it ends up over here).
then, after this game, i’ll be back over at NM for the nucks-wild.

Truthfully as long as those 6 are healthy and the 3rd line can be 16-85-14…I don’t think the exact combos will matter they will produce.

Totally agree.

But I’d love it if guy’s like Knuble and Laich spread out their production a little more, no? ;)

by Davethecapsfan on Dec 12, 2009 7:44 PM EST up reply actions  

Agreed. And I could live with Knuble on the third line, move Fehr up. That manages Knuble’s ES ice but still has him fresh for the PP and gives Fehr more quality chances even without special teams.

I hate Comcast so much for not letting me watch this on TV. Does anyone know a stable stream? atdhe and justintv streams are horrible.

What? It’s on CSN+ here.

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

by capsfan4life on Dec 12, 2009 7:30 PM EST up reply actions  

My issue is my Fios doesn’t give me the channel that they have listed for CSN+ for whatever reason. But since it’s technically being shown locally on that channel anytime it’s on CSN+ it’s blacked out on any other channel…including NHLN or Center Ice.
