We jumped 5 teams last year before we fell apart. We held the #3 spot in the Atlantic for a couple days.

Well then. You heard it here first folks. We should just quit because it's just too tough

Sure, sure
Actually curious now who we had been putting there under Newsy.
Obviously if I had a Fedorov and didn't need him on the PK, I would put him there, because he is better than most everyone going in either direction. Short of that, it feels different seeing a speedy offensive player than say a speedy two-way with some chance of scoring (say, a Veleno).
Speaks to me of a more confident approach to the game by the coaching staff.
Sure, sure! Just kind of different than what I've come to expect lately.

And as you said, then we fell apart. Loosing streaks are going to happen and it’s awfully hard to overcome them when you’re this far back in the standings.

Someone to read as “we should just give up!!!”
Okay guy.

Wow! Toddfather says the players bailed out the staff on that challenge.

I was gonna come on here and mention how much Motte sucks, but then he made that nice breakout pass and I guess I can't hate.
Zach Werenski should be a Red Wing so he can fulfill his proper destiny. I was so mad when resigned in Columbus a year away from FA I believe. He would of been a Wing the first minute he was available.
Beat Winnipeg next and I will really start to believe this can happen.

The Caps were 7 points out of a playoff spot at the end of February last year.

Yeah, there are so many inept teams this year aswell.
I don't believe for a second that Ottawa has it figured out yet. Pens and Philly will continue to go hot and cold throughout the season.
As much as i think a stinker of a season would be a blessing in disguise, a playoff spot is still in the cards for sure.

I'm tired of stinking. I'm tired of losing. I want to go to the first ever playoff game at the doughjoe
ToddFather dropping some Dan Campbell energy with his answer to the coaches challenge question (7:00). I’m a believer in this guy
I think he is the luckiest man in the world right now. It's almost like a film.
We have to enjoy it while it lasts. He probably thought their 2nd goal was interference so it was a good chance they would call it off.
And 4th game in a row we win the special teams battle. Unbelievable.
What did it take so long for Yzerman to realise Lalonde was the problem?

It was a terrible challenge and could have cost the game. Hockey gods are fickle but sometimes throw you a bone.
Holy crap, hockey is fun and exciting again!
Awesome hockey game. We cruise if we get that 4th goal to go up 3 but great moment for the PK and Bergy

I like McClellan in the post pressers. Is it just me or did Lalonde always sound like he was holding back a fart everytime in post game pressers?

Berggren was on the ice in the final minute of a tie game.
I just want to point out how vastly different usage is for our players right now. What a world of difference.

I loved Burger since the SHL, and believed in this guy that he was going to be a really good player for us and still believe that he will be in that Nyquist-y, Tatar tier. It's really nice to see a coach give him the opportunity and him potting a few. Now, do AlJo next!

Because they put him in the box to serve the bench minor. I'm the biggest Burger homer on these boards, but the one and only reason he was out there, was for the exact situation that unfolded. Anything else, and he's sprinting across the ice to let someone else hop on.
