Serious question, why is Pheonix Copley not even getting s whisper here. He has a winning record in NHL starts, he may be a more reliable backup option than VV or wishy washy Anderson.

He makes too much money.. lol

Seriously.
 
And, Copley has dropped on the Caps goalie depth chart. Vanacek jumped ahead of him and so will Craig Anderson.

I'm actually really curious to see what Anderson can do. I guess too bad practices will be closed to the public. I think.

If you have the athletic Tarik wrote a good article on the caps coming into the season. He also explained laviolettes logic for keeping guys like Blaine Forsythe.

Peter Laviolette says Capitals goaltending competition will be a 'battle'

According to the article basically bf "suggested new ideas" for the pp

Is that all it says? Laviolette did a presser yesterday and that was sort of what Laviolette said about Forsythe. It was a lot more involved than that. Tarik didnt add anything from any other source?

I posted the same above from watching the presser

Yeah, honestly, it’s disappointing how often I read articles that just re-hash a press conference, but I guess most fans must not watch them, because everyone from Samantha Pell, to Tarik, to RMNB write press conference re-hash articles on a regular basis. Tarik will write other stuff where he talks to scouts or interviews prospects at length too and I find that more compelling. Usually for the season preview type of stuff I can predict everything they’re going to say though.
 
But every beat reporter has to cover each presser though. It's their job, and they have to write something even if you watched the same presser. I think you guys are just starved for content lol. Just 3 more days guys. 3 more days.

Most people dont watch the presser. I think that most people here do, but I could be wrong. I was surprised to see a presser on the site yesterday. There wasnt really much new. Lavy danced around the questions well without really answering much

Better late than never? Anyway, I get the intangibles but is he better than Siegenthaler?
 
If true..WOW! Chara is my dad's favorite player. He's a B's fan. Sad he's gone, but is excited he will be on tv every night. :D He's what this team needs. Someone who is defensively responsible, protects Ilya, and isn't worried about taking the puck up ice.
 
Wait. Is this a good thing or a bad thing??!!?

He's not the Chara of old, but I feel like he's a better Orpik. I actually think a Chara - Carlson line wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Chara - Carlson
Orlov - Schultz
Dilon - Jensen

I think that's a fairly good defense if you give Carlson a few double shifts.
