I’m a Colgate alum, and I love to see the Colgate guys get a chance in the NHL, but Kyle Wilson just had a horrendous shift that ultimately resulted in a goal. Third line center would seem to be our most pressing need for spending the Nylander $$$.

Wooooo Colgate. That second goal is all on Flash and the first was kicked in by 55. Which goal are you talking about? Flash showed appaulingly bad hockey sense on that goal and didn’t cover for Green. I’m livid with him. Wilson is all good.

Flash was at the blueline when Green jumped in. He skated down to the face off circle. That’s on him. He should have pulled up as soon as he saw Green jump in.

Game seemed a lot duller in the 2nd period, but man the canucks really like to finish their checks, I sure wish our guys would.

A lot of people slam on Morrison, but what was he supposed to do on that goal? Terrible situation to be in, mostly because of Mr.Green(which is another fine point in the Olympic file), but you take the puck, it gets passed. You guard the pass and hope the goalie stops the carrier.

hey guys, think about it this way. We actually scored more times than the Nucks.

Certainly entertaining, but it appears the Nuck’s really managed to grind our boys down with their aggressive forechecks

So true, that was the best the PK has looked all year.

4 penalties, 1 shot…

Bad power play. Ready to go with a whole new cast of characters for the next power play. Let’s put the 4th line for the 1st unit. They can’t do any worse than the guys we have.

Tom Poti is a fucking asshole. You knew that was the GWG as soon as he took that penalty. And then he compounds the problem by talking his way into 4 min. And he’s the veteran on D? Fuck him so hard. Flash also had a shitty game. I can take a loss but when you give away goals with stupid hockey that is bullshit.

Please Bruce, please take Ovi OFF the point for the next PP. You can tell after the first 30 seconds if the other team’s PK will be successful. (While when we get a guy in the box, it’s white knuckles time.

not arguing that point,
just noticing trends in how the Caps try to set up the power play with them on it versus them not on the ice and its failing more with them on it. Obviously the numbers support taking Ovi off. Ovi, Green, Nick are in tunnel vision mode on the PP it seems.

While we are “technically” in second place but in reality we are the fourth best team in the Conference. If you counted all OT losses as losses, that is where we’d be. On that measure, even Buffalo has edged ahead of us since we lost 13 times and they lost only 12 times but are tied in wins. (If we compared ourselves to the other conference, we would be behind Chicago and ahead of San Jose and Calgary.)

Okay, we don’t do 4 on 4 overtimes or shootouts in playoff games but in the playoffs, a loss is a loss is a loss no matter how you slice it. (Someone here, I think it was Whiter Mage, had actually figured out what the records would be if the OT games were counted as ties.)

Maybe Green would have been better off sitting tonight’s game out. Maybe he wasn’t as “healthy” after the Koci hit as he and the Caps would like to believe.

I’m sure that swelling by his eye has not helped his vision any. (And how good was Shaone Morrisonn’s condition?)
