OK, I was wrong. Friday – Thursday, it was the first day of that week.

I hate seeing Caps on the wrong end of goals of the week. I don’t think they’ve been the scorer in any that I’ve seen.

I don’t disagree with pointing out the puck control issues — they’re getting worse as the weeks go by — but Neuvy did pull a much better than usual move out right as you posted, so I just wanted to note it. Before it was swallowed up in the gaping maw of passing hell that followed.

What happened was net was off so as soon as the Caps touched it there was going to be a whistle so he went to the bench to get a temporary 6 on 5 since he knew we couldn’t try to score.

by icehammer97 on Feb 1, 2012 9:28 PM EST up reply actions  

No because even though the net was dislodged, Clem went to the bench to get an extra attacker until the Caps touched the puck and the Refs would blow the whistle.

I read it as trying to highlight the fact he was nowhere near a DOG with some kind of penalty (to either team) assured. But I am pretty irritated by the drama injected into every contact by some teams.

Interesting Clemmensen went to the Florida bench for an extra attacker with the goal off its moorings… since Caps couldn’t score.

Was that not interference?

What say you, hockey gods???

It is almost like the NHL told the refs to call less during the all star break, seen a lot not called in the games last night and tonight and not just the Caps games.

Yeah, it does seem that way. That’s going to take some getting used to. And they need to do that at the start of the season. Gotta be damn confusing if you’re a player.

Interference has been going uncalled all season. It’s been a steadily growing problem over the last few seasons, but is much worse this season.

Failure is always an option.

I’m liking the Chimera-Hendricks-Knuble line.

Would have been nice if Matty could have gotten that one.

Marty almost put one in there

This game is flying by. Not a lot of whistles will do that.

by Aliceanna on Feb 1, 2012 9:31 PM EST reply actions  

18 shots after two.

Outhitting the Cats 26 to 13.

Nice guys finish first, but sometimes the season is awfully long.

Not having the puck will do that.

Why did I read that ‘outshitting’?

…Oh yeah.

Dingos are involved. Best not to ask.

Everyone who was so excited about the SOG after one went the other way this period End of period SOG 24-18 FLA. Not great, but not horrible.

9-8 sounds better than 15-10. At 15-10 Its the same as 3-2 or 9-6.
