Rockin' the Red in Section 412

It just reminds me how long I have been waiting . . .

Anyway [sigh], in contrast to those songfests (how old was Olie? like, sixteen?) is this maybe?

Happy Indie Day, back atcha JP.

The bottom video looks like singing auditions for the Village People.

…but am I the only one who thinks Ovie would have an absolute blast doing something like this? Perhaps they should modernize the song, put a lil’ Ovie here and there.

Happy Birrhday, Mike. It’s appropriate that a guy born on Independence Day now plays for the Caps. (Okay, he was born in Canada but grew up in Michigan.)

My B-day was two days ago.

I think we need some team-wide singalongs for the 09-10 video. Perhaps Russian folk songs?

Langway

About 30 secs into the first clip I was reminded how much the Caps could use someone even half as good as Rod. Boom! One Nordique is on the ice. Boom! Another on top of the first. Then Rod smushing them both into the ice.

And each play in today’s NHL would be a HHT penalty.

I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.

Maybe not even a penalty, but I think a lot of old defensemen would struggle in today’s NHL because of all the new opening of the game rules. Langway not withstanding, there’s just no “Shut down” defensemen in the NHL now, because the game doesn’t allow one. There’s players who do really well, but they can still just get hosed and have no way to stop certain things(Like, say, Ovechkin, who the refs seem to allow a few liberties to get the job done sometimes.

I was being a bit nostalgic, but I did say “half as good”. Obviously he’d have to adjust for the penalty changes, but I think he just might be able to.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I get nostalgic too. Every time I see a Stevens check or a Langway play, yeah, I miss things too.

Awesomely lame or lamely awesome

or maybe I’m just too young to fully appreciate these. What years are they from, btw?

ZING! ZANG! ZUNG!

I see a lot of twine. Netminding technique has come a long, long way — even if the goalies back then were 10x as entertaining.
