Avg. shift times for the #Caps are down — but no PPs to inflate them for Ovechkin (1:02), Backstrom (:51) and Semin (very low at :41)

The Nylander Era opens in Grand Rapids tonight.
Nyls has two assists tonight, one PP, one ES, but the Peoria Rivermen lead the Griffs 3-2 wih 1:35 left in the third period.

McPhee made a vague comment about tax problems. I think that’s the real issue that came up. I can’t guess particularly what tax issue might have come up, but if he’d have had to pay taxes in two countries, that’s reason enough to turn the KHL down.

Carcillo had a goal called back tonight in the Flyers/Pens tilt where he kicked the puck, keeping his skate on the ice. It was pretty obvious. This one though? Eh, not so much.

Obviously there’s some degree of joke in there, but I’ve heard people repeat the non-joke part seriously, and it frankly doesn’t make any sense. The physics involved in kicking something while ice skating and while not ice skating are not the same.

if the fourth line can keep up anything close to this level of production it’s gotta be causing some serious heartburn for everyone else in the league.
We know they won’t, this would be nice production for a 1st line.

Can't Tell if it was Dirty
Watched the replay a few times, it actually looked a little like the Ovie-Kaleta hit. Green wasn’t fully facing the boards. Fuck.
and different situation too
Green didn’t turn away, he was in a vulnerable, face-to-the-boards position the entire time
by DonnieKnutts on Dec 15, 2009 11:02 PM EST up reply actions
Nothing like Ovie’s hit, Green got hit square in the back, not the shoulder.
Because now I can justify browsing and commenting during the work day with the argument that I am promoting my business.

A take away point from tonight's Caps/Avs:
The Eastern Conference elite teams are better than the Western Conference elite teams.
Caps/Pens/Devils/Sabres/Bruins are a notch above Sharks/Kings/Avs/Hawks/Preds.
I think the Hawks and Sharks can play with anyone in the league.

I don’t have any problem with the rule this way. You get a 5 minute power play for boarding, or it’s reduced to three minutes if you decide to take things into your own hands. I’m cool with that.

i like what erskine did as well but
if you watch the replay, he didn’t even SEE the hit. he just saw green lying on the ice and went after Koci. Could’ve been a clean hit for all he knew.
by DonnieKnutts on Dec 15, 2009 11:08 PM EST up reply actions
I plan to watch the replay a bit later. You tend to have an idea of when a hit was clean or dirty regardless of whether you saw it or not.
