GDT: Caps @ Wings. 1/31/14. 7:30pm

Okay, does anyone recall what Ovechkin did to the Ducks?

I can't decide if there's something I'm forgetting he did to the Ducks that would make so many Ducks fans seem to hate him or if its just that there's plenty of Kings fans that like him.

Well they probably just like Boudreau now and don't like that Ovie called him a "fat ****". They probably also need to feel like the Caps success back then was more BB than OV.

Wow! 3 pages before the game even starts.

 

[FloridaCap]

I might officially be on the "Brooks Laich for 3LD" train.

He can't be any worse than Erskine, and he's absolutely worthless as a forward. What's there to lose?

3LD? Promote him to 2LD and let Orlov play 2nd line wing

 

[SimplySensational]

Edlers available! According to LeBrun everyone, but Sedins are available for trade.

Count me in.

 

[SimplySensational]

No Green...

 

[FloridaCap]

No Green...

4-1 Wings.

Alzner-Carlson
Orlov-Strachan
Erskine-Carrick


This is hilarious at this point. Good luck Neuvy, hope you brought your double sized pads and magnetic glove.

 

[MoJoSauce]

Count me in.

I honestly think that would be a better team than the one we are fielding now, although that might be better w/ Green in since now no one on the 2nd line d corps would pinch.

Oh well

I suggested that in the offseason (and during the lockout) and people called me crazy. Finally the board is coming around.

Man the almighty west loves to not beat the Metro now.

Couldn't think of a good way to do it. Well, I had one idea but got lazy. Like the Caps. I may try it later.

 

[EroCaps]

So Olie tried to re-invent the goalie position for a young goaltender still establishing himself (and playing well) whose issues had nothing to do with lateral movement? Brilliant.

Does it surprise anyone that one of the league's most arrogant GM's has built the most myopic, arrogant coaching staff in the league? .

They're doing everything they can to avoid the real issue: that the team is poorly constructed.

I doubt it took much convincing from Oates and Olie for George, who seems to want anything but to re-tool.

 

[BrooklynCapsFan]

What's Green's injury?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

What's Green's injury?

I'm betting concussion symptoms....

 

[SimplySensational]

Chimera-Laich-Fehr are playing great.

 

[Huddy*]

Red Wing fan here watching game , do the caps plan on wearing these jerseys permanently next year ? So cool seeing them in those.. Reminds me of watching Al Iafrate back in my youth

 

[g00n]

You should've bagged your normal avatar.

There we go.

 

[442]

Love the hit. Give the kid minutes.

I don't think that's the line. I think it's Ward, not Fehr.

 

[troyerlaw]

Very good jump and puck pursuit by Caps so far. Too bad they haven't converted yet.

 

[SimplySensational]

Ovechkin's a bad captain. Doesn't tell Backstrom to stop taking stupid stick penalties.
