Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread

Just finished studying for finals for the night... I've got two tomorrow, so that should be fun.

Didn't get a chance to watch the game, but saw the highlights, and read some of the stuff.

Caps keep getting victimized by these cheap shots. Greenie took quite the hit, and ended up busting open his eye. Bruce didn't like it.

"Fifteen feet he saw Green's No. 52 and it didn't stop him one iota from hitting him in the back and going for the head," Boudreau said. "So I hope they throw the book at him.

"I've faced David Koci an awful lot, he might be a nice guy, I have no idea. I'm glad he's making a living, but if this is any other game, he gets on the ice for the first three minutes, he gets into his fight with the guy and then he sits at the end of the bench, so what good is he? It shows what we have to get rid of to have a good game."

Talks are beginning to circulate around the team that we need an enforcer, and with a little extra cap room (actually a lot) freed up with the exit of Nylander, I wouldn't be surprised if we went after one.

Do you think Green would be getting picked on like he has this season if Brashaer were still on the team? Come playoff time, we're not going to be getting huge power play calls on big hits like we have been. Refs simply don't call them anymore, and we need some kind of threat.

Anyways... just felt like venting before I went to bed. It's nice to get a solid win against a strong team. Caps still #1 in NHL, won last 8 out of 10. Theo played nice in goal, even tho I still hate him.
