Ehlers was just trying to surprise the goalie on the shootout. Didn't work. Not sure if a deke would've been any better. Would've been nice if Brossoit could've come up with more than one stop in the shootout...

This is equivalent to the NHL shootout...
Once it gets to a shootout I no longer care what happens because it's a joke anyways. I'm sure not going to get upset because of the move someone tries in the shootout.

Doubt his defense improves much. But his scoring would be very difficult to replace.
The strength of this team is our 3 young top 6 wingers. None of them should be traded.
Ehlers probably will be because he is underappreciated and badly used by Maurice. We will lose that trade. He will be a star player on whatever team is lucky enough to get him.

Yep. He's a gamer, and a team-first guy, no way he does that deliberately. This is not Days of Our Lives. Pulled a move from his playbook and blew it. Plenty of ways to miss in a shootout, and many of those are still more embarrassing (looking any you, Marchand).
Another brutal start but a great greasy effort to pull out a point, and The Pastry was at his buttery best until the shootout, which whatever. Thought he was great last night, especially in the 3rd, when they needed him.
Yes, that also would've worked, but Brossoit literally didn't lay a glove or pad on 4 of the 5 Capitals shootout attempts.

I'd have hoped that everyone knows the difference between Denmark & The Netherlands.
The Danish aren't the Dutch. Even a Dutchie looks nothing like a Danish!

There is no way Ehlers was sending a message to Mau. Not when Mau has just given him a SO opportunity.
The only message that could possibly be was 'trade me'. That is not a message you send to the coach. You tell your agent to deliver that message to the GM.
It was just a poor SO decision.

The bolded is nonsense. It means just what it said. They no longer keep a fighter on the roster. Neither do most other teams.

I would just love to know what it is that Carolina does to get their players to play with that level of intensity.. same goes with Boston and so on, and then figure what we are missing or what is stopping us from playing to that level and either get it or get it the F out.

Ebb and flow is one thing. Starting the game like it is the pre-game warmup like the Jets have done quite often this year is something else altogether. For whatever reason they are just not ready to play when the puck drops. Its been like this all season.

Wrong , most teams do . In a playoff round we would be picking up the scraps playing a team like Washington . We did not look scared but we were getting physically hammered and in a playoff series it would be worst . Buff Trouba Chiarot gone and Lurch on IR makes a vulnerable physically .

Way, way better than "brah". People who say that should have to pay a fine.

A more "high percentage" effort would have been nice. And Brossoit looked like he was "surprised" by every shot.

...so Orlov can go head hunting and our players look around for a desk to hide under.
I think after Washington's next playoff run, a "correction" will take place in the NHL. I'm not saying that we'll have a return to the big, bad 70's, but that era was kick-started by an easily intimidated Flyer team getting pushed around by the Blues in the playoffs. They decided that wasn't going to happen again and loaded up on goons.
Now, Washington has Wilson, Gudas, Dillon, Orlov... and when they meet the Pens in the playoffs and the only player Pittsburgh has to stand up to them is Malkin....
Well, let's just say a correction may be coming sooner rather than later. Not to the 70's or 80's (because hockey was much more violent even before the Flyers era) but teams won't leave themselves vulnerable to a spanking anymore.

Fun fact. In Denmark "a Danish" is called Vienna bread.
Also, at least once every couple of weeks when I tell people I'm Danish they start telling me how wonderful of a time they had in Amsterdam
My theory is that Americans only learn geography from going to war

No, most teams do not anymore.
Being a physical team has nothing whatever to do with employing a designated helmet puncher. Different story altogether.
I'm not sure how well this team is built for the playoffs, where the NHL uses a different rule book. (How weird is that?) But since it is not likely to make the PO, that isn't an issue. It will be a different team by the time it becomes a legitimate PO team. See what it looks like then.

See my post #198.
Washington has Wilson, Gudas, Dillon and Orlov. They can all play hockey. None of them is a designated fighter. Do you think any of those guys would play any differently if we still had Thorburn to challenge them? If you want to meet a big, mean, dirty team with an equally big, mean, dirty team that is another story altogether. It is still not affected by having a designated enforcer.
