Hate these afternoon games...
Especially after a time change… Trying to get too much done and not actively watching the game. Think I’ll take a breather and watch, and unfortunately hear too much of dickhead.

News alert: Caps play dirty - NHL allows it. That is all
My Father's name is Jack, and my Mother's name is Daniels...
Honest question
Have they always been like this? I never harbored any ill will towards them until today.
So the Campbell Broken Collarbone did not bother you?
My Father's name is Jack, and my Mother's name is Daniels...
I don't think Ovie intentionally tried to hurt Campbell, I think that was well established
It wasn’t really a dirty hit either. Thats why it was debated so much.
Like many teams they do a lot of diving
Which is funny considering Boudreau’s comments about Stamkos/Downie/the TB Lightening.

That would be cool
But he got hot a little late for the Hart. Remember how this team played for a large majority of the season. He is in the running. Personally I think it goes to Stamkos. Kesler and both Sedins are in the discussion as well. Crosby would have been.
Disagree.
Stamkos and Kesler are probably in the mix but if we’re looking at the final 3, I’m placing bets on Stamkos, Toews, and Sedin. Kesler doesn’t have the wide support that the Sedin sisters do.

I would not be surprised to see them representing the East in the finals.
I don’t see them getting past any team with a top notch goaltender. All Holtby showed me today was that he’s prone to the “bad goal”. Kopecky and Toews (to a smaller extent) are goals that cannot go in come playoff time.

Holtby is one of three though
I doubt they start him in the playoffs. You do not need a hot goaltender to win, plus their blueline is improved.
you don't need a superstar goaltender to win
A hot goaltender will win you a close series

So if the Capitals face the Sabres in the first round...
You like Braden Holtby against Ryan Miller? That right there could be the difference in the series.

Washington’s offense should win that series.
Lord Stanley's new home is Sweet Home Chicago!
he's just hot right now and if you can rest your ailing starters at the end of the season
when you pretty much have a playoff spot, if not a home ice 1st round, sealed up, it’s worth letting him play. Come playoffs I doubt it’s Holtby
Lord Stanley's new home is Sweet Home Chicago!
You do need a consistent one though. Niemi, and Leighton weren’t the “hottest” of netminders but they were more than solid in the post-season last year and weren’t, for the most part, prone to the “bad goal against” until the Finals.
If you’re buying what Milbury and McGuire were feeding you today then so be it. An improved defence doesn’t win Stanley Cups, a great defence does. Big difference. Just look at Anaheim in 2007, Detroit in 2008, Pittsburgh 2009, and Chicago 2010 and now look at the Capitals … spot the difference?

and in that case he was bailed out by the fact that he was facing a goalie who had even more
Agreed, but not consistently.
It seems that a lot of you are buying into what you’re being told on NBC.
All I’m saying is, just take a look at the rest of the Eastern Conference and tell me that the Capitals have what it takes to beat those elite teams. I think you’ll come to the same conclusion as I have.

I think so, even taking away the goal he scored
He made a couple critical and tough pinches that Doc and Edzo didn’t mention, was strong in his own zone, made some nice moves to skate out of trouble and move the puck up to transition.
Doc and Edzo didn’t notice anything as the script of the day was to “pump -up” the “new look” Capitals which I’m not buying. Not in the slightest.
The final 5 minutes of the 3rd were more than enough to convince me that they’re still fragile when the game is on the line. They looked very uncomfortable trying to protect that lead late.

Even before that. That penalty was drawn due to their inability to clear the zone as both defencemen handled the puck like it was a “llve grenade” which led to Hossa getting the puck in the offensive zone which led to the hooking call.
How about Wideman’s “blind play” against Brouwer which led to the Frolik chance? Sharp (he of 34 goals) left all alone in front after another defensive giveaway? Way too many holes in that Capitals defence more me to consider them to be “Stanley Cup calibre”. Just my opinion though.

What’s interesting about this Caps team is that they’ve learned to play without Green, who’s been injured for every possible reason under the sun. The team has shifted it’s focus to a more defensive minded game because of it and it’s been a boon for them.

Never, ever bet on one team against the field to make the finals. To break even on that bet with no house cut, you’d have to have a .79 probability of victory in each matchup. I don’t think any team in the salary cap era has been that good.

Whatever you want to call, I never suggested "they weren't trying"
“lack of effort” or “tiredness” I don’t care what you want to fucking call it. Again, they have not been able to play complete games all year. Unlike last year. They won games because they were consistent. Maybe they are just tired because they won the fucking cup last year.
And “lack of effort” is not as stupid of a suggestion as a NHL League led conspiracy against your team. Not by a fucking long shot.
You're blowing things out of proportion
Nobody suggested that. It’s a common complaint that refs can introduce a slight home-team bias in games, and it’s a subconscious thing, not a conspiracy.
Gotta disagree
People making comments like
" Seriously, the ref’ing in this league gets worse and worse and remains biased against the Hawks."
Or
“It would have been a penalty if it was a Hawk”
or
“The refs are out to get the Hawks”
suggest far more than a subtle subconscious lean towards the home team. Its not just on this board that I hear this shit either.
Some Canadians suggest that the refs are harder than them. Some suggest the NHL always wants the Wings to win. Its all stupid.

You're picking out the most egregious comments that were posted in the heat of the game
Comments like this will happen when fans get emotional. Don’t take them at face value if it bothers you so much…
Well I never disagreed with anyone who thinks that home teams do tend to get the call
but whatever, its over
Verstig's point is a good one.

Plus
The hawks drove us all fukckng nuts at times last year with their lack of consistency.
They'll have to pry the cup out of our cold, dead hands
You do make a good point, but...
Today isn’t one of those games where I saw that from Chicago.
Once again, on the road against the hottest team in the league in the afternoon and you manage to squeeze out a very important point. I’m taking it and running with it.

don't get me wrong
I really like the point, I didn’t think we were going to get it. I think the Capitals go really fucking deep into the playoffs this year. They needed to improve their D and they have.
And when they get bounced early...
I’m going to reference everyone back to this thread and make you all pray to Hossa for forgiveness.

Well, we could always reference everyone back to some of your classics, too
Like how great Turco was going be this year…..and how the league had figured out Stamkos and wouldn’t allow him to get open for those one-timers.
Or Phoenix will finish 14th … some of the worst. But I did title them as the worst predictions you’ll ever read. Can’t say I didn’t warn any of you.

I agree with you
But I don’t know if that holds true for this game. You’re rotating 5-d men (4 for 5 minutes of the game) so it’s natural that you’d be outworked when the other team is playing a full roster in their own building.
I can understand it on the D end
But the offense looked pretty bad in the third. They could not complete a pass for the life of them. I don’t know why the Hawks just fall apart for a period of almost every game, but they do.
Like I said, I don’t know why they do… but they do.
Really?
I mean sure the better team usually wins, but I think that Hockey more of a luck element at play then almost every other sport.. baseball takes the cake in that category.
But yeah that Caps outplayed the Hawks today. Agreed
Caps is a team to watch 4D eastern team!
Regs & POs season!. Great game but Hawks could’ve crank it up little more. Caps has more time in controlling the pucks in their zone! Seems like were more in the survival mode keeping with the pace of the game!
Leddy
needs to play his game. Skating up the ice 10 feet and then a 6 foot pass , thst ain’t his game. He needs to carry that puck deep into thier zone. He has the skills.
"Trying is the first step towards failure" Homer Simpson
Had a great sequence doing that early
but all of our D men have been jumping into the play even early in the game (especially noticeable: Campbell as always, plus Campoli and Seabrook being opportunistic). Do we really want Leddy to add to that too? We give up a lot of odd man rushes as it is.
Hawks D tend to jump quite a bit
I don’t know where to go with Leddy on the jump though, I think he has a tendency to make more mistakes because he is so young of course.
To me Leddy over thinks on D
but when he carries the puck he is as smooth as silk. He ain’t here for his defense

Observations from the Rink
First of all, God I hate Caps fans. Least knowledgeable bunch of hacks I’ve had the misfortune of watching games with. Fuck and them.
Secondly, Nick Leddy – time to grow up, kid. He still looks a little gunshy at times, and while he played well today for the most part, he was caught staring on the third goal. With other d-men banged up, he’s gonna have to be reliable. Time to mature fast.
Power Play is clown shoes; even with the goal in the last minute, just dangerous to watch all around. PK had its bozo moments as well.
Craw played very well and deserved better, but he has to nab one of those first period goals.
Finally, the first line was just off tonight. Boudreau matched up with them and the guys didn’t really have an answer. Kaner looked at his invisible, dilletante worst. On the road in the playoffs strength must beat strength and it was noticeable how not-noticeable Toews-Kane-Sharp was against the Caps’ checkers. The fact is this game could have been three nothing if Holtby doesn’t give up three weak goals.
Turn around and get ready for San Jose boys.
God I hate the Northern Virginia – I mean “Washington” crowd.

Good observations
I think every fanbase with a bandwagon portion (ours included) will come off that way — I guess you have a right to be annoyed but I don’t put much stock in it.
Really excited about Leddy in the next couple years.
I don’t understand this team’s PP. Hope Havy finds the PK still fixable this year; Craw is tired.
And I really like your point about the top line — I was just thinking this in the 3rd period. Of course then Toews goes and scores that goal, so…
As far as the PK goes,
the forwards need to start blocking shots and please, please, please, stop collapsing to help the defence down low as it’s leaving the point shots wide open. It’s open season on Crawford on the PK as any team seems to get their point shots through and at 100 mph uncontested.

Nick Leddy was born in 1991...
Again, he was born in 1991. He has matured very quickly, but he is not a miracle worker. He has a great hockey sense, and I think that is the only reason he has done so well. I just think you are being a little too harsh on him.
Thanks for the observations though.
Leddy is smallish still
His body hasn’t filled out yet and it’s not in the type of condition that’s going to allow him to neutralize bigger opponents.
I’ve been harsh on the kid but I think he’s done a great job considering his age and limitations. I choose to be patient with him.

haven't seen much on Sharp in this thread, maybe it was in the others
Sharp was flat out awful today, and not just because of the biff that lead to the shorthanded goal. He just had a soft game, he was no where to be found along the boards and didn’t do much to help Kane or Toews.
So Q notices this, and replaces him with Bickell for one shift. I just don’t get why Troy Brouwer doesn’t get a few shifts with DDN when Sharp isn’t having much of a game. Brouwer should’ve spent the whole third period on the first line.

I'm Abe Froman, and I approve this message.
Once again you beat me to the punch...
Sharp was in “float mode” all day and did absolutely nothing all game. Maybe with Bolland out he thought he’d be given the reigns of the second line centre, but Frolik has flat out a better option the past few games.
Brouwer over Bickell seems to be the new Dowell over Kopecky. I won’t debate it or acknowledge it as it comes down to Q and how he sees the two fit. Brouwer should’ve been there, but that’s just me and you apparently.

Sharp's disappointed for a few games now
I wonder if somebody stole Q’s line generator and he didn’t know what to do the past couple months when he kept everything the same.
i think most people would agree actually
that brouwer should be up with DDN if Sharp is out. And with Sharp playing how he has been, I hope that change comes soon.
WILDCARD BITCHES!

Brouwer should have definitely been moved up there
Not sure why Bickell was, even for a shift. Sharp has been off for a few games now, not sure what his deal is, but he needs to get back to how he was when 10-19-88 was seriously clicking, or be moved elsewhere.

Sharp was one ugh after another.
The two shifts after his fuck up were extremely disappointing. Thought he’d come out with a bit more determination to right the wrong. Not so much. Looked sloppy, gave the puck away and seemed lost and slow on the forecheck.
