Biting only because I feel Flash deserves a little more praise, but holy shit. Can you imagine if he’d been playing C all along?
Unfortunately (or, fortunately, maybe!), 2C is locked up for the time being. But if that means that MP can get Fehr and Chimera next year (or next next year), that would make me just as happy.

So Laich is now a permanent winger, barring injury substitution? i like.

I hope so. He’s not bad on faceoffs, but he seems way more effective on the W.

It’s actually funny you mention this because it was I that reprimanded another Rinker for posting a Jonas Bro pic earlier this week. I was feeling ironic today. And, well, Matty does have that Jonas hair…..

does this get decided by who has the earliest pro-MP comments or the most pro-MP comments? because in both cases, F&B wins.

I'm late to the party
Jordan, I like you. You’re one of my favorite commenters. You should never feel vulnerable in these parts. This is one of the best, most respectful hockey blog communities I’ve seen.
That said, pointing out you were alive when Top Gun came out will not win you many points with this crowd(that said, it’s cool you can hang with people who grew up fearing only the rocket version of nuclear bombs) Is Top Gun cheesy? Absolutely. Is it jingoistic? As only an 80s action film can be. Is it homoerotic? I repeat my previous answer. But, damn, it’s a great fun flick. It’s not that you should watch that film. It’s that you would WANT to watch that film.
And, if you haven’t already buddy, you really need to get your ass to mars.
What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven back to Pittsburgh, and hear the lamentations of Sidney Crosby.
What?
I only made that comment as a jab at Gould Old Days.
And I’m 23. That movie came out a long time ago no matter what you say.

If only yahoo would recognize Flash as a center…he’s on the fantasy team and the more versatile the better.
I stopped playing Yahoo for almost exactly the reason, except it was Kozlov at C and Semin still at LW, instead of LW/RW.
Really annoying.

We killed them on faceoffs last night. Crosby was only 33%, his worst of the season.
I have a C on my heart.
I was listening to the after-game show from Pittsburgh radio last night (XM), and they mentioned that it was only the second time Crosby lost as many faceoffs as he did last night.

by PaintDrinkingPete on Jan 22, 2010 11:52 AM EST up reply actions
1G, 1A, 11-16 on faceoffs… ‘Flash as a Center’ got a big checkmark last night.
I chose Flash on my fantasy team not only because he’s good but because he can play LW AND RW on my team so he can fill in a lot of spots. I wish they’d update that to put “C” in there.
For the same reason I put Briere on my fantasy team team.
Flash was also a negative one on a night that he got 2 points and a 3 goal win.
That makes him a pathetic plus 2 on the year. It’s been a great coming out year for Flash, but he is on the ice for a conspicuously high amount of GA.
Well, to be fair, Flash got a minus for Theodore’s ’I’m just gonna stand here and look pretty" goal against… no one deserved a minus on that one (ok, maybe Schultz…). His other minus was on Letang’s goal, which was 1 second after Carlson’s penalty ended.

B.Mo was a beastly 100% in FOs last night! WOW. Brooksie and Ovie were the only Caps below 50%. Faceoff Report
Kung-fu Rink Rabbit
Notice how when the Caps have a shootout, it is the healthy type.
Anyone know why Steckel got the hard hat last night?
He was 50% on the faceoffs, which for most Fwds would be good, but for him an off night. Did I miss a major play he made?
It could be almost anything. Maybe he helped someone out in the corner or said something to get the guys going on the bench. Don’t fuss too much over trying to figure out who gets the hard hat.
by sixsevenfiftysix on Jan 22, 2010 11:39 AM EST up reply actions
Maybe Crosby got one lucky goal, and Malkin got none, and he was a big part of that?

It’s just a “virtual” hardhat. They talked about it in the post-game show on 1500, and described it like “the players nominate their own hardhat – now you as a fan can can nominate your own, and enter to win prizes”. So yeah, it’s not the real hard hat.
And if Stecks was keyed on Malkin for the game, then yes, he did deserve it. Guess I’m just use to him being the faceoff stud.
Nice game by the Caps last night.
They did the little things that the Pens didn’t. I would’ve never expected the faceoffs to be so slanted in the Caps direction. The Caps also tightened up in their defensive zone, which the Pens obviously did not.
Going into the game, I expected a Caps win. The Pens D has looked bad for about two months now, and I would love for them to make a play for a solid D-man at the dead line (like Hamhuis). But I will save that discussion for Pensburgh or something.
I don’t want to see the Caps in the playoffs again with this D-corps the Pens are rolling.
And for the last 8 times these teams have met the Caps have been missing one of their top 2 D…
Now let's say you and I go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor.
well he was out last night, and just fat sick and injured the previous 7
Aim for the head baby Jesus
Re-read. I wasn’t just talking about Green.
Now let's say you and I go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor.
For the playoffs, the Caps’ injured defensemen included:
Green — playing with mono and injured shoulder
Schultz — out since he was injured vs Rangers
Erskine — broken foot , missed at least one game
Poti — playing with broken foot
S. Morrisonn — injured but can’t remember details
Our only healthy blue liners were Pothier and Jurcina. Pretty bad percentage, huh?
While we knew Gonchar was injured for Pitt, I’m sure the physical health of their D-men had to be much better than ours. Couldn’t have been any worse. We’re talking over 2/3 of our blue liners either out or playing through injuries, with 2/3 playing through injuries.
Rocking the Red since 1975
fun evening
Thanks again for co-hosting the viewing party, J.P.! It was a lot of fun, and the way the Caps played just topped off the evening. :)
Yeah everything was awesome last night J.P. It was cool getting to finally meet some Rink Rats, although I was a little isolated in the other room.
On a side note, for as much as Pittsburghers say we have an inferiority complex, they were certainly a little sensitive in the bathroom after Backstrom’s goal.
Quote of the night:
Pittsburgh Fan: “I need to move back to Pittsburgh”
Me: “Enjoy your crippling depression!”
PF: “Suck it.”

Ten additional thoughts on last night's party:
- Nice meeting everyone. I apologize for my slurred speech and/or drunken tom-foolery.
- I hope to meet more peeps next time.
- Meeting J.P. is cool. Taking shots with J.P. is badass.
- Shout out to highslot, Addison H, tuvan, and others.
- YNC is probably one of the nicest people I’ve met.
- jordanDC is way more reserved in person. I would have never guessed who he was.
- F&B, Killer_Carlson, and Steck It Out/Steckel Me Elmo (can’t remember which) are all brothers. Total mind-blower…
- My girlfriend and F&B’s fiancé may be the same person. I’ll have to get back to you on that.
- F&B…. I want a rematch.
- I missed the last Metro train and was stranded in Ballston.
- I woke up on the floor of someone else’s apartment, in a state in which I don’t live, wearing a carbomb-stained Brooks Laich jersey. If that’s not the perfect sign of a good night, I don’t know what is.
- The Metro is a miserable experience as is, but waking up at 6:10, hungover, and going from Ballston to Shady Grove qualifies as one of the most miserable experiences of my life.
- I’m tired, hungover, and going back to bed. Thank god for 9/80 work schedule. Good night.

I’m not a big drinker, but I kill it in shots. When I go out, I can usually always find someone to buy me shots and then I proceed to kick his ass.

Irish carbombs typically involve Guinness, Baliey’s, Jameson. Technically, it only has to be an irish stout beer, irish cream, and irish whiskey. but if you’re going to do it, do it right and use the good stuff.

Well folks, I would say that I’m sorry to have missed the watch party last night, however I had my 52" LCD HDTV delivered this past Saturday and figured, what better hockey game to watch in HD First?
Besides, when I go out to watch the games on the road, things usually don’t end too well…

Please load brain before shooting off mouth.™
Here, here. Would have loved to join the party. Reason 2 – I’m still breaking in a new 54" plasma on which the HD games are magnificent. Now if we could just convince CSN to hire some real professionals to correctly handle the HD technology as well as selecting the best camera angles to show and not missing any more face offs. Reason 1 – newborn, C-Sectioned wife, stepping up my support of family (have two other kids). An interesting and busy time for me, during which lots of good hockey is going on. Heavy use of DVR and watching when I can.
No comments on the NBC thing? That shit is hilarious. It goes above and beyond and Lisa Hillary or Chic Hernandez fail!

Pens fans are sounding like Yankees fans
When their team sucks a big one, it’s always “bahhh I’ll take the banner up in the rafters over a regular season win”. What they fail to realize is: this is not their year and they’re not the same team. This “rivalry” is quickly turning into a Red Sox/Yankees type rivalry – and I gotta say, I’m liking how the underdog looks right now.
And this whole “revenge” thing being played up by the media is ridiculous. There won’t be any revenge until we beat them in the playoffs on the way to a Cup. And that is that.

Does anyone know why the Caps didn’t sign this guy? He instead went back to junior as an over-age. He has decent size and can put the puck in the net. There was some press in the fall that he was disappointed with this. And I think the Caps own him for four years after the draft.

the great thing about this and other caps blogs that i have frequented, there is nobody here trying to justify ovie’s play versus crosby or malkin. no, “well crosby is good but he doesn’t mix it up or blah blah blah like ovie and thats why ovie will blah blah blah.” too much of that type of justifications and excuse making over at our pens pals web sites.
i think everyone here appreciates that crosby is a great player. he’s led his team to a stanley cup at a very young age. sure he’s a whiner and lives in his bosses basement, but beyond that he’s definitely the second best player in the game. i find it sad that pens fans just cant accept that without bashing ovie. ovie-envy. sad.

Everyone is praising Semin’s pass to Flash. Didn’t anyone else find it annoying that after making the pass he just stood there in front of the bench watching Flash walk in and score? Conveniently, he was right there to begin the fist bumps as soon as the puck went in the net. Shouldn’t he have joined the rush? Yeah I tend to be a Semin critic but it just seemed like more laziness to me. Of course no one will remember that because of the pass…
Anyway, nice win.
He was going to the bench for a line change and was just hanging out to get is +1, give a guy a break.

It’s awfully quiet over at the sbnation blog, Pensburg :) Here are a few gems I found in the response to the Dave Getz article though:
“God I hate Ovechkin.”
“may be it’s too strong to say, but I hate Ovechkin too… I acknowledge that he’s currently the game’s outstanding player, but I think the way he plays and shows it makes me hate him even more…”
Hate on, pens fans!
I think Pens fans hate Ovie because they have a repressed love for him. Most of my Pittsburgh friends admit that they would love to have him on their team. Funny enough, there was solid chance of him getting drafted by Pitt. Good thing we won the lotto that year.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
I actually, I was up there in 2004 when both of our seasons ended, (Pittsburgh finished Dead Last) and they were not only celebrating beating us to finish off their miserable season, but that they would be drafting A.O. with the #1 pick in a couple of months.
Funny how that worked out….

It’s never particulary fun when the Pens lose to the Washington Capitals. You have to deal with some Capitals fans acting like its a big deal. It makes you wish the D.C. Sniper would have got a couple of extra kills.
The game lived up to the hype for the first two periods, and then things went awry in the third.
And look the Pens were missing some big time contributors. Most notably Marc-Andre Fleury and Mike Green. Yea, thats right—Mike Green not being in the game hurt the Penguins. His turnovers and piss poor defense couldn’t bail the Pens out.

Crysby is funny, but like all contrived memes (Jizz, much?) it gets old after awhile. One of the main reasons I came over here from being a regular poster on CI was because there was so little hockey knowledge over there. Rampant name-calling only makes it worse.

My own personal heaven would be a 24/7 tv channel that just plays the clip of Forsberg making the “dive motion” with his hand and watching Crosby scream and yell at him
Don’t leave out the game where he’s bitching at Kovalchuk after a clean hit, then Kovy baits him into taking a penalty, scores on the resulting powerplay and just points at Crosby coming out of the box instead of celebrating the goal.
FUCK that is the greatest thing ever.

Announcer as Kovy points at Crosby: Ahh! That’s AWESOME!
My ability to post is only surpassed by my ability to pinch pennies.
I take it that was an ATL broadcast. I wonder what the PIT announcers had to say about it.
On a site note: Watching the det-caps game the other day using justin.tv for the first time was awesome… seeing it from the opposing team’s perspective.
Unfortunately I was forced to watch it online because my cable service SUCKS, but yes, it was pretty good. Informative, but boring, but informative broadcasters.

After hearing the Pitt feed last night, I must say that thier announcers are the biggest homers I have heard.
It was bad, really bad. I think the worst I heard was accusing BB of intentionally putting too many players on the ice in order for Ovie to cherry pick
Their just plain dumb. Even the PITT folks don’t like them.

i loved the begrudging praise they were forced to give
Errey as a former player is actually a little (little) more neutral…since he actually played the game, he respects a skillful display. Case in point: He let out an almost involuntary “WHooooo” when they showed the replay of Semin’s saucer. The other guy, though… you could tell any compliment to the Caps was offered through gritted teeth… every one of Ovie’s passes that wasn’t tape-to-tape was called out as “not where it should be” etc. Hey, I get homerism and I don’t mind it, but utter bias is something else entirely.

I think some of this bias stuff is a bit of rose colored glasses from Caps fans. Are they a bit biased for the Pens sure. But Steigerwald isn’t screaming at volume 11 for penalties a la Edwards.
The real problem is that they are just plain bad. Steigerwald/Errey is the worst announcing pairing since ESPN paired Dave O’Brien and Marcelo Balboa.

He works refs. That’s what some athletes and coaches do. If the Carlson hit was clean, that conversation afterwards puts some doubt in a ref’s head if an equally clean hit happened at some point later in the game.

I also think the whining quotient with Crosby has gone way down since his first couple of years.
Currently he talks to the refs, don’t see him complain furiously as he did at one point.
The guy is practically impossible to get off his skates when he wants to stay up, so whenever he goes down it gets a raised eyebrow from me. But I don’t think it’s outside of the boundaries of ordinary NHL play.
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
yea… you don’t see that cute little scrunched up “MOMMY HE’S PICKING ON ME” kinda face on him anymore.
Bummer.
I loathed Crosby as much as anyone…right up until the playoff series last year. He played like a bad ass son of a bitch in that series: went to the difficult areas, battled for pucks, skated his ass off…
I fricking love hockey when it’s good, and that was the best sort of hockey.
I can live with the rest of the (now toned down) act if he’s going to compete like that when all the marbles are at stake.

As much as the Caps fanbase hates on Crosby, I’ve never heard anyone take it past the line, saying “Crosby deserves to die ZOMG GO PENS!!!” There’s no time and place for that stuff in sports.

It’s not. But their Crosby jokes do get old after a while, like someone said above. I respect Crosby as a player – he’s top 3 in the league. But his conduct on the ice is sometimes childish. While that gets to me, I don’t feel the need to call him names every time he makes a pass or takes a shot.
The thing I like about this blog is how everyone knows more about the team than the media seems to know, and how there are more longer-tenured fans than on CI. It’s a great blog with great people. I just think that if you’re going to blog, then BLOG. Don’t just act like a fair weather fan and come up with shit just to take shots at other teams and their fans. Granted, I’ve never been to Pensblog, but you know what they say about first impressions.
Just makes me think how happy I am to have a great crew covering the Caps in JP, Becca and DMG.

The thing I like about this blog is how everyone knows more about the team than the media seems to know, and how there are more longer-tenured fans than on CI.
Yup…I love how much people here know about hockey, not just the Caps. And I love how much I seem to learn here every time I show up, even though I’ve been following the Caps for so long.

I mean, every team has their stupid, uneducated fans. But that doesn’t mean you take it to a personal level like they did with the D.C. Sniper comment.
But, simply put, this is what they do over there. It’s not my taste, but whatever. If you’re really getting upset about it, the joke’s on you.

True enough. But around here, you’ve got to think that a sniper “joke” is pretty close to a 9/11 “joke”. As in, not funny. There’s moronic humor (also not funny, but that’s a personal opinion), which is mostly what they do, and there’s poor taste.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t have been over there reading it, so wouldn’t have known about it otherwise.

They are what they are. Some of it is mildly entertaining at times. Pensblog is like a mindless action movie aimed at teens. On occasion when I’m in the mood for mindless entertainment its worth having around.
Haven’t seen much on there lately that is great humor except for the warning system thing which was hilarious. This fanbase could use one of those as well.

Look, if you’re looking for insight, you’re looking in the wrong place if you’re looking for it at The Pensblog, and they pretty much own up to that. It’s snark, PhotoShop, and the sort of late night cheap shots that have me thinking “Jimmy Kimmel on a bad day” (which is pretty much every day). Their target demographic is 15-24 year old males who have mullets, wear sleevless t-shirts, and drink IC Light. It ain’t the Algonquin Round Table.

I tend to agree, though I never go there anymore. I know they rip on the Steelers because they think it’s hysterical how seriously Pittsburgh takes them as a whole. They just want to get a reaction, but unfortunately it looks like they are actually speaking for a significant number of fans.
Now let's say you and I go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor.
I thought that was one of their better recaps and they actually recognized a lot of the awesome things the caps did instead of the usual slop.

Hell of a great party — thank you, J.P. and the rest. It was good to see everyone I saw, and I’m sorry to have missed the folks I didn’t meet.
Why does last night’s game feel like such an accomplishment? I know it was a meaningless regular season game, but it feels like the Caps cleared a hurdle.
"Camaraderie, that's what the Washington Capitals are all about."
This seemed to be as reasonable a place as any to post another “Nice job last night. Had a great time”. Very much enjoyed seeing some people again, and meeting several more. Names are starting to stick in some cases. I was really encouraged by all the money I saw going to Addison and ‘Beta’…assuming that it was all for the Hershey trip later on.
Very much looking forward to the meetup.

I can’t do enough of these – I certainly hope we can swing the Blackhawks game @ ESPN Baltimore.
Thank you JP and Wysh, and a shout out to Leahy who I met for the first time and Tuvan who is always good for a story or four. He’ll have the second half of AO’s epic interview up sometime this weekend.
Reminder: beta is still collecting RSVP’s and money for the Japers’ trip to Hershey.
IS KEPTIN NOW
Might I add...
The Caps played last night with two rookies and a career AHLer on defense and still held the Pens to basically one even strength goal (the first goal being a gift by Theo and the third came one second after the Pens PP expired). For all who fretted after the Detroit game, I think this game should calm a lot of nerves.

The event will take place this Saturday the 23rd from 8:30pm – 11:30pm at the American Legion (400 Cameron Street) in Old Town, Alexandria. We will have free desserts available from local establishments, such as Heidelberg Pastry Shoppe. We will have a DJ, some door prizes, raffle tickets for sale and discounted beer and wine. Items to raffle (and perhaps auction if you don’t feel lucky) include (4) Wizard and (4) Caps tickets among gift cards to local sports pubs and restaurants.
Entry tickets cost ten dollars.
It is for a worthy cause and it’s held at the American Legion, an organization for our vets. So, it’s two good causes in one.
Tickets can be held at the door.

Girardi, who watched from just a few feet away as the unfair fight unfolded in the Rangers’ attacking left corner and circle, told The Post that he regretted his decision not to engage on behalf of his teammate.
“I guess I was overthinking it, Girardi said. "I didn’t want to take another penalty, because I knew we already had one there [on Brandon Dubinsky], but I should have gotten involved. I should have jumped in. Maybe it was the wrong decision, but it was the decision I made at the time.

Techinically I believe you are correct. Though Carcillo was already in his fighting stance. Gaborik probably saw Carcillo’s sucker punch act from earlier in the season and wanted to make sure he didn’t become victim #2. I give Gaborik props for at least attempting to defend himself.

Insofar as it beats losing a game to the Pens in January, this win is nice. Hopefully, they can beat ’em when it really matters.
On the injury front, I’m pondering who had the worse injury situation. The Pens were down their starting G and three good forwards (Talbot, Dupuis and Kunitz). A key defenseman was playing hurt (Gonchar). The Caps were down their starting G, their best defender and two contributing D (although the “contribution” of Erskine is debatable from time to time); they had a key scorer playing hurt (Semin).
On balance, I think the Pens fare worse here. Their backup is not as good as Theo; the guys they missed in addition are key to their style of play, more so than Erskine and Pothier.
I do take comfort that the callups for our guys are better than theirs.

Who is all going to the game tomorrow night? Anyone up for pregaming somewhere? I can make it down early, so I was going to try to grab dinner and drinks somewhere before the game. I rarely get a chance to get down to VC early, so It’d be fun to meet up with some folks. (I’m still sad I couldn’t make it down to Bailey’s last night)

Any suggestions on a place to meet-up? We usually end up at Bar Louie or Greene Turtle. My sister is only 20, so we usually just go out for food if we have time.
Those work for me, assuming I get out. I like grabbing food and a drink ahead of a game. Only briefly went to Louie once, but enjoyed it.
"Right now, I can't wait for the playoffs." -- Mike Green 1/18/2010
Well we’ll probably get to Bar Louie around 4:30. We usually end up sitting in their bar area somewhere. So if anyone wants to meet-up, that’s where I’m going to be. Maybe we can all do some “Beat the Yotes” shots beforehand. haha
Sounds good. I’ll let you know before hand. Probably not at 430 but well before gametime.

It’s comments like this to the media that make me happy:
"On the ice, we didn’t try to think about Game 7," Ovechkin said of a loss that Washington further regretted after Pittsburgh went on to win the Stanley Cup. "They’re an unbelievable team. We want to improve, and we want to gain that spot where they were last year. … If we do everything that coach (Bruce Boudreau) says, I don’t think anyone can stop us."
When your new captain who also happens to be the best hockey player in the world comes out foursquare for Coach, good things happen. Way to cement your team, Cap’n!

We’ll not risk another frontal assault.
That rabbit’s dynamite.

and thus Sasha is dynamite … and can go scary berzerk when you (or opposing teams) least expect it and are lulled into boredom and apathy by his boneheaded plays, brainfarts, penalties, non-hustle, etc.
Does the playoff series against the Flyers jog your memory when he went apeshit, hitting, scoring, etc? i remember thinking WTF is up with Semin?! Hence, UnleashFurry … but it seems that moniker for him has lost it’s appeal. I still await the return of that kind of play from him though. I can dream, right?

Bengt -Åke Gustafsson is close to signing a contract with Jagrs khl club Avangard Omsk according to svt.se He still got two tournaments left as coach for team Sweden; Vancouver and the World Championship.
The rumor is that Omsk is willing to pay him 10.5 million Swedish kronor a year.
NBC's epic fail
I wasn’t aware that the Red Wings had won that game. Nor was I aware that Steckel and Backstrom played for them.
I know the Wings have a lot of Swedes, but saying that Backstrom is on the team is a major eff-up.

Remember the image Becca H posted last night on DMG’s recap? Fat_daddyo got me going by suggesting it’s “got some delicious photoshop potential…” Just did some base ‘shop work on that image and brainstorming ideas. If you’ve got any shoot them over to me through my profile email.

Just a heads up for those of us with nothing to watch tonight: AHL All-Star game replay is on MASNHD right now. Hey, at least it’s something.
I started watching, but I get bored with the complete lack of defense. I feel bad for the goalies.

Montreal - NJD is on...
Duelling traps, oh joy…
Still, it’s a hockey fix.
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
glorious! great addition to friday night!
and the devils lost, which makes me happy
Between Wise and warped, I choose warped.
Sad I missed the party at Baily’s last night, sounds like ya’ll had a glorious time. Hell, I’m sad I missed most of the game due to the 7:30 EST start and my 6 PST class…damnit. Watched the replays and it looks like it was a fantastic hockey game all around.
Here’s to a Pheonix rocking for my birthday tomorrow!
Yes, it’s time for the Caps to rock the Phoenix. Even if this year’s Coyotes have lived up to their city’s name — by rising from the ashes of a moribund franchise which was rumored to be getting moved.
We don’t want the Caps to play Ugly against the Coyotes.
Rocking the Red since 1975
Pretty sure the Caps will be flat tomorrow. Hard not to be after the effort against the Pens.
Easy one to drop.
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
I won’t be surprised, especially after beating Philly, Detroit, and Pittsburgh in succession. While Phoenix is a good team this year, they are not a traditional rival of the Caps. It seems anti-climactic.
Rocking the Red since 1975
I don't think they like the Caps very much.
I wouldn’t either after that.
