Around the NHL Part VII

[Samuel Culper III]

These caps broadcasters are AWFUL. Btw.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

The Laich goal was pretty slick from Backstrom.


This Kunitz goal you could see from 20 miles away. As soon as the puck hit Halak I knew they were scoring.

The Caps are a really crappy organization. They had this dynamic, dominant Ovechkin kid. They had this guy Green putting up big time, Karlsson like numbers from the blue line. They added this guy Backstrom whose point per game for his career. They had this complimentary sharp shooter named Semin. They got this great young d-pairing of Alzner and Carlson. They got this good, two way leader in Laich. And they failed to ever address the holes that remained around those guys, managed their roster poorly and never improved or capitalized on their potential. Now they're a mess and don't really belong in the playoffs, IMO. Terrible management. Erat for Forsberg, really? Give up on Varlamov, not Nuevirth? They just strike me as having squandered more talent than any other team right now.

Washington's problem has a lot more to do with Ovechkin, Semin, and Green than it does with letting Varlamov go or trading Erat for Forsberg. It's a team of individuals who have never put it together and really played for one another. Had they done that they would have probably had a Finals appearance by now.

Just saw this thread on the main board, apparently Rich Peverley collapsed on the bench and was rushed out of the arena(presumably to the ER). Scary situation...

Peverly collapsed according to James Duthie on twitter

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The Pens nowadays seem to get outplayed on a regular basis, I won't be surprised if they're not much of a help in the upcoming games. Getting doubled up in shots by the damn Caps.

TSN just showed the highlight. Apparently he just returned to the lineup this week after having a cardiac issue and irregular heartbeat. Scary stuff

Do they have something like an ER room in the arenas ?

 

[Thunderhead]

I don't think they'll finish this game .

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

He has a record of heart problems to... this is just very very sad

 

[goalsequalvictory]

Do they have an ER room in the arena ?

I'm sure there is some sort of medical facility, but for a heart condition(which is what it's believed to be), he's going straight to the ER. Thankfully the AA center is relatively close to the the "medical district" in Dallas with the UT Southwestern Medical Center being very close by. Scary situation, sending positive karma his way for a good outcome...
