Good reason. My cable spazzed and I couldn’t watch the last game, but didn’t Climie do fairly well?

Per Tim Leone:

Goalie Brent Krahn (concussion), who hasn’t played yet in the series, exited before Matt Climie. However, that happened at the Game 5 morning skate and Climie still started, with Krahn backing up.

Krahn did look sharp during drills.

My money’s on Climie starting, but figured I’d throw Krahn’s line out there.

The predominate opinion in Texas was that Climie had a notably strong game (for Climie) Friday.

But he looked weak/shaky in the elimination game 7 vs Hamilton which they won, so who knows really. Guess we’ll see shortly.

by Icebat on Jun 14, 2010 6:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sort of a Philly scenario without the goaltending fail. Tough call; do you stick with the guy that brought you and has played pretty darn well, or go with the guy who’s supposed to have been there? Psychologically, might it help them to throw a guy out there that Hershey hasn’t seen yet?

I think it would be a pretty big slap in the face to Climie

to pull him now.

I was at game 5. He was great. Both netminders were.

by Brad Gardner on Jun 14, 2010 6:20 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah it’s tough to pull a goalie that has been playing so well. Nothing I’ve seen makes it sound like he cost TEX a game, but then again Krahn was the go-to guy before the injury and if he’s the better goalie how do you keep him on the bench?

I waited all year for this?

I loved how they used Carlson on the PP. Not playing the point exclusively, but allowing him to roam. He got his goal from freelancing to the slot and pouncing a loose puck. I’d love to see BB let our two most frequent point men do that on the PP.

Alzner has been the best Bear so far, IMO. He has been moving great and reading the play exceptionally well. You can see his commitment to being more offensively aggressive on that goal. Normally he’s not the kind of guy that will pinch down to the top of the face off circle but he saw that he had the room and took advantage of it.

TEX is definitely collapsing hard down low, that is leaving a ton of space up at the points and the Bears seem to be using it well. Aside from the pure point totals, that’s another huge reason to have D that are competent with the puck. It makes the cycle much more dangerous and allows a team to keep offensive zone pressure for much longer. Hopefully when Carlznerson join the ranks we’ll have D that can make better use of the puck in the offensive zone. It would have been really helpful against MON, that’s for sure.

I’m not trying to scam on Jordan’s Kool-Aid (although he keeps trying to take my rightful spot as the Founder, President, and CEO of the MP Lobby), but McNeil looks pretty good too. The guy can definitely skate and looks like a decent player. He may end up being a great bottom pair D for us in a couple years, but I doubt he’s ready by next season.

I doubt Alzner sees any PP time, at least not without injury. I would hope that Carlson would be a fixture by the end of the year but I bet BB stays with AO/Green as the top unit on the points and that leaves Carlson to get scrap PPTOI. I’d rather use Green and Carlson on the points and move AO to the LW, but BB seems very attached to using AO on the point. I hate it.

Totally agree with that. Ovie can turn it over sometimes and it can leave the other guys to become spectators. You’d like to see something a bit more fluid.

by souldrummer on Jun 14, 2010 7:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

AO also has to worry about getting beat for a breakaway on the point and I’d rather he not have that concern/risk over him. He’s a shark in the offensive zone and basically tying him to the one corner of the ice negates that. I’d rather let him float down low and find open lanes and pounce loose pucks. The closer he is to the net, the better.

Well TEX is definitely depending on him more heavily, and he has played a lot of hockey, but he was still playing extremely well even through the HAM series so it’s odd that he suddenly fell off the cliff this series. I want to believe it has more to do with Carlznerson than anything else.

Next summer is going to be fascinating. The #3, #4, #5, and #6 salaries on the team (Semin, Poti, Knuble and Laich) will all be UFA. That’s a lot of flexibility to remake the team with. The D is pretty much set (Green, Schultz, Alzner, Carlson), but the Caps currently have only 4 forwards signed for ‘11-’12, and only another one or two who will be RFA.

Enjoy watching the young Bears forwards tonight everyone. A lot of them may be Caps in two years.

Question: Watching Neuvy play has made me acutely aware of my deficit in goaltending understanding - can anyone point me towards any good resources (on or off-line) that might help address this? I can talk about other aspects of the game with a pretty high level of confidence (if not articulately), but really don’t have that same feel for goalies…

Gordo’s contributions were clearest when he was out with his LBI. The top two lines totally floundered, and the pp fell apart.

Since he came back from injury, he’s been on the ice for all 3 gwg’s in Texas, as well as the GTG in Game Two. If the Stars finish scoreless, Gordo has an assist on today’s GWG as well.

And they won 2 and the 2/3 game. The PP thing was potentially a big factor but I’m not sure it’s enough of a sample size and the Bears were such a dominant scoring team that they had guys to pick up the slack, even against trap-fest MAN.

Why? Because of the personality? I don’t really see how he’s earned it. He’s been good but he hasn’t been relied upon as much as some other guys and doesn’t have the same points as a few. Neuvirth has been outstanding the entire time and when you look at how he outplayed Bernier in the ECF and the OT record I think he’s got to be the guy. Plus, he only lost 4 games.

Kids in Germany really don’t drink to get drunk, and beer is freaking everywhere. It’s a matter of culture, for one, but the principal difference (in one person’s opinion) is that parents introduce alcohol to the kids in Germany, who then think “Oh, it’s just this. I could get drunk, but whatever.” whereas in America we rely on other people (not pointing fingers at you, just as a culture) to raise our children, which leads to a society of “WHY THE HELL IS THIS ON MY TELEVISION?” instead of “Thank God I have a remote.”

OT Hockey 2/8
Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
