A tricky game tonight. The Coyotes bring a lot of speed. Should be an entertaining one. Hope Neuvirth’s confidence is back up after his last two outings he ended up being pulled ….

I expect a large percentage of the game will be played in the Yotes’ zone, as they’re a very defensive, low-scoring team.

Who here thought that Alex Ovechkin would NOT be leading the NHL in shots this late in the year? Sure, he’s missed a few games, but still…
by sixsevenfiftysix on Jan 23, 2010 5:28 PM EST reply actions
This is surprising, yes. But to me this sort of goes back to the lack of hat tricks this season. I’ll take a team with the scoring diversity and depth we have over one superstar shooter/scorer any day of the week. And like I said in the Fehr post earlier today…teams are focused on covering him and preventing him from shooting, which then opens up avenues for the rest of the team. I like this development, and it really bodes well for the post-season.

The bigger thing is who would expect OV to have more assists than goals. It’s all about the +/- and the vics for OV this year, though. He would trade all of his trophies for a date with Lord Stanley
Mr. Nasty might have a word or two about that +/- comment

So who is our starting goalie supposed to be exactly? Is this giving Theo a break or is Neuvy expected to take up the reins until he starts playing abominably again?
With a little bit of “hey, let’s see what Neuvy can do again” mixed in.
by sixsevenfiftysix on Jan 23, 2010 5:33 PM EST up reply actions
I think part of this is that they want to keep Neuvy fresh. Development wise he’s supposed to be getting x number of starts. If you’ve got an established backup in net it’s appropriate to sit him for long stretches. If you’ve got a potential future starter he’s not going to develop if he’s playing once every two or three weeks
I’d say the former. Theo played spectacularly this past week, it’s time to let Neuvy redeem himself from his last two starts.
How do you say "Third Wheel" in Russian?
by SeattleCapsFan on Jan 23, 2010 5:41 PM EST up reply actions
BB said it was a combination of not wanting Neuvy to get “too rusty” and the fact that Theo will quite possibly play 3 more games next week so he wanted to give him a rest.
probably the week the winter games start

Realistically, I think we have to look at after the Olympic break. The official word is that he will start skating next week, but he won’t start skating until his knee pain is gone. He still will have to skate alone for a few days, then work his way up to taking shots in practice, etc., then go to Hershey for a rehab, etc.
"We take the shortest route to the puck and arrive in ill humor." - Bobby Clarke
oops, forgot he is in the Olympics. but saying he is hurt, cut from the olympic team, and ready for rehab games by the end of the break, he isn’t eligible?
Can’t he at least be in Hershey to rehab during the Olympics? I mean it would just be a rehab assignment like his last one.
i’m thinking of Alzner. He had to get a certain number of games in to play there during the olympics

I agree that we won’t see him until after the Olympic break. He keeps having these minor setbacks, and he can’t actually play until he’s 100% fine. And even then he’d have to wait a while before getting back into NHL action.

Well the Caps have won 5 in a row, the last 3 being against big rivals, and the Coyotes are a vastly inferior team.
