Caps in free fall

I wonder if everybody is getting fired there after this year?

I'd guess they probably use Backstrom's cap money to upgrade somewhere and they run it back with the rest of this cast for one more year.

But they're not winning shit again with this team. Oshie and Ovie both look about done. Kuznetsov has been done, despite being a whole bunch of years younger than those guys.

I mean, Ovechkin has been decent, especially by that team's standards, but he's no superstar anymore. I doubt he scores 40 goals again, even if he winds up finishing this year with a lot more goals than we thought he would.

The Caps are looking at the Pens and hoping they can get enough HGH to play well into their later 30s.

@Bleedred or anyone …

I saw talk of the highlights being down a few weeks ago for a couple days in a row on the apps, and now I noticed that any goal highlight posted tends to be a very short version where you don’t see much of the play. Any idea what’s going on?

I’ve been asking the same thing for weeks now.

This all started about 3 weeks ago. They went to 10 second or so highlight clips for a couple of nights. Then they even didn’t have any clips at all for one night. Not on the NHL app, nor on ESPN+, but they eventually added the highlights from the night before a day later. And it’s been 10-12 second clips for every goal ever since.

They usually have the more full 45-50 second clips on ESPN+ you just have to watch an ad before every goal.

I’ve been finding myself watching the 4-5 minute full game highlights lately, so I get a good clip and not a stupid 10 second one.

I don’t know if they’ve been cut so short since they haven’t been making you watch an ad before the clips or not. In previous years the NHL app did make you watch an ad before goal clip. This year they haven’t been, but for the last three weeks have reduced the length of the clips.

It sucks.

I’ve found some to be literally a player 2 seconds before they take a shot, so you see nothing leading up to the goal or how the scoring situation even happened.

I haven’t really noticed anything 2 seconds, but I’ve seen 7.

Did you see the 2 second ones during Devils highlights? Cause I don’t watch those since I’m already watching in real time. Unless I forgot what a goal looked like or need another look or two.

You won’t get a look or two with the new reduced clips though. You sometimes barely get a look. :laugh:

Unfortunately, I'm coming up on 50 years old in a couple of years...... As sad as that is to say.

Back in my 30s I remembered EVERYTHING. In my early 40s? MOST everything. Mid 40s? Started to forget some things. Late 40s? Starting to forget A LOT of things.

But I will say this. My LONG term memory is still pretty good. My short term memory is really suffering.

Sometimes they show a powerplay goal then the penalty after. Really weird stuff, it all started after the Columbus game. The entire highlights package was barely over a minute and left out many goals.

It was after the Columbus game. That's exactly when it happened. That was the night they didn't have highlights and I had to ESPN+ and sift through the replays to do my goals review. And I couldn't even review the goals in the Canes game because I was in North Carolina for the weekend and I think the replays are blacked out for 24 hours or so after a game ends. It's the same thing for me locally with Tampa games.

They eventually put up the clips late the next day.

But I think the goal clips of like 7-10 seconds started the night before that.

Good gravy. 50? My god how high can numbers go? Do you have to wear a bib to avoid getting drool on your clothes? Do you just eat mashed peas and apple sauce or do you wear your dentures? How about that regularity? Every morning at 6 am. Of course you are still asleep when that happens. I cannot imagine ever being that old. Someone (@njdevils1982) please cue up Pete Townshend.
