GDT: Carolina @ Washington - Capital Punishment

[nobuddy]

^ I hope not. I'd rather just plug Murphy back in and get what we can for Gleason.

 

[AD Skinner]

I'd tend to agree with that. And while it's not a foregone conclusion that Bellemore will be out for more than a few games, when an announcer says "upper-body concern, will not return to the game," I hear "concussion".

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I'm not so sure about just sticking Murphy in there and running with it. I guess it depends on how long Bellemore is out.

@ChuckGormleyCSN: #CapitalsTalk Karl Alzner to Jill Sorenson: 'U hate to say it's a tough team to get up for and maybe if it was Boston it would b different'

Heh.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Heh.

I wonder what Brouwer has to say about that.

What are you talking about? A bad penalty is still "showing up," isn't it?

Meanwhile, heartless Semin didn't bother to show up yet again.

“We maybe underestimated these guys a little bit,†Karl Alzner said of the Hurricanes, who had lost six of eight prior to Tuesday’s game. “When they were up 3-0 on us, we were mad, but we didn’t use that anger the right way. We just kind of felt sorry for ourselves. It was really strange to see.â€

LOL. The fun part is when they underestimate a team that has already beaten them in their previous meeting, in their own house.

Actually, I don't remember the last time the Canes beat the Caps twice in a row on the road. Here's to hoping for continued underestimation by the opposing teams.

Serious question, at what point do we have to make the evaluation that Justin Peters might actually be worth a damn? I've been waiting for this balloon to pop, but the truth is that he has better numbers on the year than Khudobin has produced and it's not such a small sample size anymore. What it do?

Khudobin has a better sv% and gaa and also is 2-0 im not sure what numbers ur looking at

 

[geehaad]

Truth is, every goalie not named "Cam Ward" has better numbers than every goalie named "Cam Ward". And the sample sizes are about the same.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

anyone want to figure out what the hurricanes sv% with ward in net from the start of last season compared to to the sv% without ward?

i'm betting it's pretty close.

Advanced metrics. Peters had 100% of his starts in the defensive zone.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

Since the start of last season (Hurricanes numbers only)

Cam Ward: .908sv%
Peters/Ellis/Khudobin: .907sv%

 

[Blueline Bomber]

anyone want to figure out what the hurricanes sv% with ward in net from the start of last season compared to to the sv% without ward?

i'm betting it's pretty close.

Since last season:

With Ward - 31 GP, 81 GA, 879 SA, .907 SV%, 2.61 GAA
Without Ward - 54 GP, 143 GA, 1534 SA, .906 SV%, 2.64 GAA

Assuming I'm not missing any goaltenders in "Without Ward". I believe it's Ellis, Peters and Anton, correct?

Which simply tells you that lesser goaltenders we stick in net can almost equal a Ward that's coming off major injuries.

I was only able to catch the 3rd period last night. I saw that Skinner had 2 "soft" goals, but thats not taking away how great he played. Peters did well too. Was this the Canes playing well or the Caps just not showing up?

And you would think the Crapitols were the defending Stanley Cup champions or were a great team or something. I mean, they are three points ahead of us in the freaking Metro division. They got b**** slapped last night, so they need to deal with it.
