A cheer for Potsy when he hits the ice, and many more when the Caps light up the scoreboard. A recipe for a happy Wednesday.

Anybody want tickets? I don’t feel like going.
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
good grief
Three people who gave up tickets?!!
You guys should be grateful; I’d give up my left leg to science for consistent Preds tickets.

Yeah I don’t know why I can’t get rid of them. Sort of ridiculous.

I’m very tempted. Email in the profile and twist my arm a little.

I have to twist your arm to take them for free? I’d rather light a cigar with them tonight then beg someone to take something for free.

(Except it will cost me $4 to email them to someone so it’s actually cheaper for me to let them go to waste but I was trying to do something nice for someone)

Doesn’t it suck that they charge you to email tickets? I hate that because sometimes I send mine to my sister in Salisbury. Of course she’s a college student, so I don’t charge her the $4

I work a lot of nights, so there is always some games that I can’t go to, but I have a long waiting list of people wanting tickets. Usually my parents take them or my sister and her bf. But it’s good to stay connected here. Everyone is willing to help their fellow Rinkers out.
Founding member of the Tyler Sloan Fan Club
I just have a 1.5 hour commute each way to get to the game and when there are 3 games in 1 week it’s too much sometimes. I make about 99% of the games and even schedule business trips around them.
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
Yeah, I kid somewhat. I live about 85 minutes from the Bridgestone Arena, which is what keeps me away more than ticket prices. I can afford the $12-20 tix, its that 160 miles in gas and food that kills me over time.

I would kill for free tickets to any caps game. Damn my locale.

Hopefully I can see the pens game.

It’s open season on headshots (using the shoulder) for the rest of the season.

No now you can be certain that you won’t get suspended for a late hit to the head, as long as you use your shoulder.

It’s not a big deal or anything, but the Cooke hit (and the Richards hit) were both legal when they happened, were both legal yesterday, and are still legal today. Absolutely nothing changed. Something may change, but those hits have always been legal in the NHL.
by sixsevenfiftysix on Mar 10, 2010 6:12 PM EST up reply actions
Brashear was penalized in game and suspended for a similar hit in last year’s playoffs.
Richards was penalized in game for interference. So it wasn’t a legal hit at the time.
Cooke’s hit took place in the Igloo. So it’s no wonder that a penalty wasn’t called.
NHL is not always bound by what is “legal” according to the rulebook when handing out suspensions. There was no rule for the Avery comment that got him suspended, but they used a blanket charge of doing something bad for the game to suspend him indefinitely (at the time).

Did Cooke take two strides and hit the guy, like Brash? No. Did Cooke talk smack to Savard before the game? No. So stop blowing it out of proportion, just because “it’s in Pittsburgh.”

by Bald Pollack on Mar 10, 2010 7:04 PM EST up reply actions
Interesting question — on PTI they talked about the rule proposal for next year and asked why it has to wait. Said what about the “Avery rule” that was instituted overnight after he waived his stick in Marty’s face. I know that didn’t involve physical contact, but why would that be different?
"The Caps fan doesn't say, 'is the glass half full' or 'is the glass half empty'. He wonders when the glass is going to spill."
The “Avery rule” was something that was intentionally and repeatedly going to happen. Headshots, usually, are not on purpose. I do think headshots should be penalized, this year, but I can see why it didn’t get the same treatment.
by DrinkingPartner on Mar 10, 2010 7:08 PM EST up reply actions
the “Avery rule” was something very concrete and not a rule that would be very subjective. Deciding what was a “hit to the head” and whether it was intentional, avoidable, caused more by the movement of the player taking the check, etc would be very subjective.
by Davethecapsfan on Mar 10, 2010 7:08 PM EST up reply actions
My guess is that they don’t think they can break it out (or start calling it) uniformly in a short enough time, and that it won’t be an issue during the playoffs.
"First Lady, I'm sorry I pimp slapped you into that china cabinet."
by Bald Pollack on Mar 10, 2010 7:08 PM EST up reply actions
True, although when do they ever call anything uniformly? I think there was mention of the competition committee as well. Just wondering on the delineation.
"The Caps fan doesn't say, 'is the glass half full' or 'is the glass half empty'. He wonders when the glass is going to spill."
See Dave below; it’s still going to be subjective, even with the clarification, so that makes either GM pressure or supplementary discipline that much more important (apparently they’re promising to be on the latter), since stopping gameflow to determine intent would be a game-killer.
Re: Competition committee, I think it’s less of that and more a rules committee, though I could be wrong.
"First Lady, I'm sorry I pimp slapped you into that china cabinet."
by Bald Pollack on Mar 10, 2010 7:15 PM EST up reply actions
The “Avery Rule” isn’t an actual rule. It doesn’t appear in the rulebook, and the GMs never voted on it. The NHL clarified for the officials that the act that Avery committed should be penalized under the Unsportsmanlike Conduct rule.
I am a hockey fan first, and a Caps fan second.
by iwearstripes on Mar 10, 2010 7:08 PM EST up reply actions
There has been lots of discussion that the play Cooke could have been called an “intent to injure” penalty, so if the league wanted to, they could just clarify refs call it like that the rest of this season.
This is NHL reffing we are talking about. The bar is pretty low on things like consistency, and if they did it, I doubt anyone would blink.
It was a home game, that’s all. Not trying to make it a Pittsburgh conspiracy.
by Gin and Tonic on Mar 10, 2010 11:10 PM EST up reply actions
A late hit could still result in a suspension.
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
Right, that too. The Cooke hit was “late” in the sense that the player didn’t have the puck anymore, sure, but it wasn’t a “late hit”.

If Chimmer’s groin wonks out again, the caps’ll have to skate without him. Fehr’s shoulders were bad in the playoffs last year – the caps had to deal with that too. Why not try now, when it essentially doesn’t matter?

Maybe so, but still stolen. Shea Weber has been one of “The Beast” or Shea Freaking Weber since 2007. He needs a better one, but thats what they are now. Not Chimera.
And c’mon, Weber is way more beasty than Chimmer.
