Washington Capitals 2010-2011 ongoing thread

LOL I just realized what Bruce hits in this video, don't know why I didn't see it the first time:

Dude, even I noticed it. Ha ha, still he's got some weird sort of charm when it comes to these commercials. Kind of reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield.

I don't know how anyone could get excited about the Capa knowing they will choke in the playoffs.

I don't know that they will choke, but I'm definitely of the mentality that they're past the point where regular season really even matters. Thought the same last year in fact

So Debbie Downer didn't know Yzerman won 3 cups LOL?

Anyways, Capitals undefeated at home, Penguins winless at home, LOL, such a great way to start the season off, a lot of hockey to still be played so it doesn't really matter, BUT!......the last three times the Penguins started off 0-3 they missed the playoffs each time.

UH OH!!!!

Drafted in 1983. Won his first Cup in 1997. Ovechkin could win it much sooner than that, but he needs some support. The team has a bad habit of free-riding off of his talent and skills to win by 1 goal.

Yeah they need to spend this season figuring out how to win the playoffs. However that is. I think most fans couldn't care less about the reg season now. I do think hockey has become way to goalie dependent. Especially in the playoffs. Get a hot goalie and you can win the cup with an average team. They need to make playing goal a little more difficult.

Hmm, Hal Gill and Josh Georges also pitched in against the C[r]aps. (Test driving fan apostasy)

We can't be friends anymore :argue:

I was throughly disgusted with their performance the last two years. Have they done anything to shore up their defense? I hope so because "we'll outscore you" mentality is the most insidious mentality in sports.

John Carlson, but you can't expect tooooo much out of a rookie.

Besides, some players on the team aren't exactly the most willing of checkers(Semin...hack...cough)

The thing is, the playoffs they didn't play by that outscore you mentality, it was more defense, even Mike Green said the whole game plans changed, that's what cost us IMO.

No doubt we need better D, but our young guys are coming up.
