I understand burakovsky isnt quite rdy for playoff hockey but only one way to get expeirence... id prolly sit either beagle or wilson

Not sure why either Beagle or Chimera get sweaters....

Wilson has to be in the lineup. He plays a heavy game and the team really missed his physicality on Wed.

 

[mczoot]

Hopefully Holtby won't be out tonight. Game should be great either way though; must win for the caps

I have faith in Grubauer, if he starts. I want to see more shots taken by everyone (less hesitation) and less dump and chase. Sitting here at work anxious to leave for the Verizon Center

It's funny (yet sad) how the organization has ZERO confidence in Justin Peters. Dude is stealing checks

When I first heard Holtby was sick, I was REALLY nervous because I thought Peters would be in net....I guess the team thought better and recalled PG.

I was telling my co-workers during lunch that Peters will not be here next year. I feel bad for the guy; it must kill your confidence to see another keeper get called up.

Still pissed Washington picked Wilson ahead of Boston.

He's a fan favorite in DC, but can you imagine him and Lucic on the same team???

He definitely broke the mold of the type of player the Caps have been drafting over the past 5-7 years.

Who wins tonight?

Islanders, Blackhawks, Canadiens, Flames

 

[mczoot]

I've got Caps, Preds, Habs, and Canucks

When the home team loses game 1, I usually pick them to even it up on their ice.

@STILLIN729

[rolaholic]

I still feel like the Flyers did Laviolette dirty last year mostly because of bad luck,glad to see him flourishing in Nashville.

I'm a big fan of Lavy but his time and message had worn it's course here

Hextall is the 1st GM who really gets the Flyers mentality of hockey needs to change

 

[rolaholic]

I guess but it looks like Berube's message wasn't any better . Who do you guys see as possible successors now?

Berube sucked

I'm not sure with Hextall, he thinks outside the box unlike everyone else in the Flyers organization

Jeremy Roenick called up a Philly sports radio show a little while ago to talk about the changes and it was pretty clear he was a little sauced up

 

[rolaholic]

Julien could've been a good fit if the B's didn't decide to keep him,Babcock has to be on the list as always . I could also see McLellan being a good fit once San Jose fires him.

Roenick's a real one ,hasn't given a damn in years.

 

[stillin729]

Caps do this every year

Ovechkin is the Carmelo of hockey

edit: spoke a little soon

 

[sosly]

lets go Isles!

 

[jewseejay]

Ovi and joel ward are on a mission. Caps cant lose this game and they know it.

 

[DeadsetAce]

holy **** what a rocket by PK

 

[DeadsetAce]

Babcock has to be on the list as always

i'd be willing to give him GM and coaching duties

 

[DeadsetAce]

hamburgalar letting in some softies

 

[jewseejay]

holy **** what a rocket by PK

[stillin729]

[DeadsetAce]

Caps coming on strong...they have the lead. Isle goaltending looking weak as hell

 

[slicknick951]

Isles sure know how to give up a lead
