Up one after one? It’s a start. I’ll take it.

Definitely. But it would have felt great to see Ovi put us up 2-0 in that last minute there. Just missed.

Oh, and we’re outshooting them!

Dump and Chase

Its getting harder each game for me to enjoy the Caps offense. to me, Dump and Chase and to an extent cycling is only effective if your really good at it. Caps are not, probably because they tried to implement it mid season, or maybe they don’t have the personnel.

i REALLY miss the high powered offense

Fascinating stat tweeted by Corey – if Flyers don’t come back, they’ll be .500 at home this season. That’s awful.

I’m wondering why Coiner wasn’t called up sooner. Or at least instead of Wrecker (or Reckless, as I call him.) Gee, with a last name like his, what else could be become besides an enforcer. I can just imagine what they called him on the playground.

Given his ability to beat people up probably not much,

by icehammer97 on Feb 4, 2012 3:11 PM EST up reply actions  

I figured it was to give some toughness with Erskine out of the lineup for Schultz but since he was sent down and Schultz is still in the lineup that theory went out to window. Also thought maybe that is was so he could get Bourque back once and for all and they called him up a few games early just so it didn’t look like they hired him as a hitman of sorta just to get Bourque and then be on his way.

yup

a lot of caveats and ifs in the fine print

pretty sure if you tell them you want playoff tickets but don’t renew that they collect the playoff money up front (have no idea with this regime how long it takes to get the unused money back later) and they don’t guarantee you the seats you had during the regular season; of course, at the moment, might not be an issue for this team

You can cancel you STs before the season starts and get your money back…so in theory you can have your seats for the playoffs and not renew.

And Orlov dominates to end the period. Good man.

Cross check and all call.

Heeey Neighbors.

Once you take the fisting element out, it's not romantic anymore.

Orlov is awesome. Man, that was a tense last few minutes. Let’s not have another period like that one, k?

3 SOG for the period.

Was that entire period in our zone?!

by Goaliemama on Feb 4, 2012 3:43 PM EST reply actions  

Sure felt like it. Definitely the last 10 minutes of it.

Except for parts of our PP. But only parts.

I think the time TB took on his PS was 50% of the time we had the puck in their zone that period.
