very pleased with that start, go caps go!
hopefully it’s the start of a nice streak of strongly played games.
I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.
Nice start, but the game seems to have evened up since then. Go for the kill, Caps!!
Failure is always an option.
It seems to me the Leafs are getting very good positioning in the Caps zone, but Neuvy is locked in pretty well, and a lot of passes are just missing. But if the Leafs keep it up, I think that this game could be tied sooner rather than later.

Fairly typical of these Caps. Get a lead, sit back and play to protect. I much prefer to see them try and score more goals.

Goalie Guild just put out an interesting series of tweets on things he sees Neuvy doing differently this game than in late January.
Neuvirth: Crouch more pronounced w/ better bend at the waist. Sets his shoulders a little lower but more powerful moving in and out of bfly
Looks like his center of gravity is a bit lower as a result. Might see him be a bit more centered, controlled, & bit more balanced overall.
Not easy to tell since Neuvirth is already a fairly quiet and calm bfly goalie. Just my thoughts. Seems like he’s been watching some video!
He does seem to be playing better the last few games than previously – Goalie Guild might have a point.
Failure is always an option.
I’m becoming more convinced that the Caps need to hire a full time shrink.
They have multiple games where they look like absolute crap…absolutely don’t show up and play so far below their capabilities it drives your to drink.
How is it possible for a team to look so terrible, and then just turn it around. Fragile, fragile team.
How did Ales Hemsky get 5mil/yr???

It makes sense for the Oilers, due to all the ELC’s they have. They need to stay above the cap floor somehow, right?
Failure is always an option.
It’s more than ELCs; I do think a veteran player willing to stay in Edmonton is a big factor and Hemsky (when healthy) still contributes. It’s high, but I think the Edmonton-factor combined with it only being a 2 year contract are big factors in why it’s 5M per year.
I was a bit surprised at first, but then I looked at their situation and when the contract ends, and it makes sense. It should be ending right around when all those ELC’s do, which makes sense for Edmonton. It might be more than Hemsky deserves, but I can’t see it hurting Edmonton. If Hemsky plays up to his potential, it could be a steal.
Failure is always an option.
Yes, that aspect of the ELCs is true; agree, the 2 years is a big factor, he’s only 28yo. Some of the talking heads on twitter last night were amusing debating this contract. If Edmonton has to overpay to get most UFAs to go there, makes more sense to keep the known player who wants to stay.
It’s also Hemsky’s salary for this season even if his cap hit is a little lower on this contract.

You joke, but lately the lines at Verizon have looked longer outside the men’s room. I smile every time.

Personally I think the problem is the men of Verizon Center have supernatural bladders. The guy I was behind at the Jets game (Yes, that one) I almost expected him to turn into a prune he was there so long.

Of course, Malkin has never been under the microscope like Ovie. Malkin has a shit season or completely disappears for a couple playoff rounds and it’s not a major story in two countries. Malkin makes dirty hits, slewfoots a guy or ten, and uses his stick to carve guys up with zero repercussions.
I’d love to see how Malkin would have fared with the same level of obsessive attention, particularly the negative attention, Ovechkin has had to deal with.

I’m glad Neuvy is still playing like he was in the 1st, since the rest of them haven’t quite been.
Also, Olie has been around of late…could that be why Neuvy is doing so well? I don’t approve of us not having a full-time goalie coach.

This game is showing how valuable a guy like Halpern is. Even without the goal, he’s a huge part of our PK when he’s winning FOs.
Warning: I started watching hockey in 2007. So, yeah.
I’d love for the caps to re-sign him for another season. He’s very inexpensive and he does what is needed.
Failure is always an option.
Strongly 2nd this. For the price? Perfect.

Does anyone else find this hipster guitar boy fantasy Siri commercial annoying?
There's always more to learn about Hockey.
YES. the kid is like 16 and think’s he’s fucking amazing at guitar. also I hate the other one, “remind me to do this again” yeah, I’m sure you’ll need your phone to remind you about the time you drove across the country because it was too cold.

During the intermission, check out the Siri Argument. Too funny.

Should have been interference called. Aucoin blocked. I hate when that doesn’t get called. Like hundreds of times.

THIS. That initial pass is what sets the whole play up, great plays by Johannson to get the pass through and Coiner to go skate to stick for the finish.

Again, I ask, who are these people in white jerseys and red pants and what have they done with the Caps?
Nice guys finish first, but sometimes the season is awfully long.

Funny. On twitter, Alan May’s been calling the ACC “VC North”. Maybe the team feels the same way.

You see, tiny aliens forced their way inside Ovechkin and Company’s brains and stole their talent because they needed it for a hockey game against Bugs Bunny.

The Leafs’ defensive coverage is so hopeless that Brian Burke just gave it an extension.

He’s got something like 4 shots on goal

I saw on tv how he wasn’t really skating. He’s horrible, lazy, skipped out on the All-Star game, drinks blood, eat kittens and gets fat doing it.

Coiner with 2 points already…I love Knubs as much as anyone but Aucoin has been doing some good things in the lineup.

Come on HNIC. You point out that Ovie is loafing at the end of a shift with a four-goal lead? Shut up.

I liked it ok until I realized how relatively recent it was. Then its cheesiness is less automatically forgiveable.
But I still like cheese occasionally. Top cheese, particularly.
Thank goodness Hank Williams said some stupid things about Obama or we’d have to suffer his horrible football song too.

So much for that sit on the lead thing. Shots were 18-10 in that period if numbers are right. Had some great shifts. Still no PP’s for us either.

The definition of being a Caps fan is watching the same team over and over and expecting different results.

Toronto looks like a team that wants to keep Air Canada Centre free for Raptors playoff games this spring.
LOL.
Failure is always an option.
It’s a shame that the name has been used on that franchise. It’s like watching the Wizards.

Oh no, the WIzards aren’t my NBA team. I have the affliction of being a Sacramento Kings fan.

Man, I hate the Capitals. I have been extremely vocal about how the Caps need to be sellers and be responsible and deal off some of their assets for the future… and then they do this! So frustrating. I wonder what GMGM is thinking now.
Warning: I started watching hockey in 2007. So, yeah.
