For what it's worth, the last goal was really flukey.

by **Michallica** on Wed Feb 22, 2012 9:24 pm

Yeah but they've just been standing around watching the play since it became 4-0. Flukey or not, they allowed it to happen. Need to wake up now, neivirth has stoned them as well

by **shabbs** on Wed Feb 22, 2012 9:29 pm

Meh. They took the foot off the gas. That 2nd Caps goal was flukey. Off the face and in.

Shut it down now boys.

Sens win 5-2. Foligno with the EN.

by **spader** on Wed Feb 22, 2012 9:51 pm

They lost the handle for most of the 3rd, but that was a great game. These Sens are really something.

At least McStache will have something to talk about at practice.

Hey, how'd you do that? I used the (img) and (/img) things (with square brackets), but you seem to have a slightly different and longer link, with a .png extension... What am I doing wrong?

Also, nice to see Foligno get one. He's been looking bummed lately. Let's hope this gets him back on track.

Nice of McStache to put Foligno out there with the empty net. It's been a while for him. Next time, should be Condra. 22 or 23 games now.

Poll on the Team 1200: 54% say trade Kuba.

The link you had was an HTML page. I right-clicked on the picture and selected View Image, which brought me to the image itself, as opposed to the web page *with* the image embedded. You should also be able to just right-click and select Copy Image Location, but sometimes the image location is not actually an image URL. Depending on how badly they want to keep the location of the image inaccessible it could be difficult to impossible to link directly to the picture (this one was easy).

Reading Yost on Kuba is equally hilarious / mystifying. Kuba has one bad season (4 months, really), and that's his (Yost's) only & constant point of reference. The other 10+ years, and right now? Meh, can't remember / not important.

Karlsson needs a steadying presence to excel, and he's getting that with Kuba. Don't mess with that formula.

Is Elliott going to screw us again? 3 goals on 13 shots. Go juggle some more! Dammit!

Travis Yost is clueless himself. Why is he even covering the Sens if he lives in New York?

Not to mention that one is an RFA and the other was a UFA (and we had no money).

Oh, well, 4-2 Bruins now. I guess we'll have to wait until we sweep them in the home-and-home before taking over the NE.

by **Big Ev** on Wed Feb 22, 2012 10:29 pm

Listening to the Team is a riot. Caller: "I don't think the Panthers even played tonight", "travesty if Karlsson doesn't win the Norris".

It's like Toddlers in Tiaras and the other train-wreck shows on TLC. You just can't pull yourself away.

The other day there was a show about this dumpster diver (cheap guy). For his 25th wedding anniversary he gets his wife a bouquet of roses pulled out of a dumpster, a box of Animal Crackers from a Dollar Store ("She likes animals. She likes cookies. And look, it's not even past the expiry date!"), one of those squeeze toys where the eyes pop-out when you squeeze it, and something else (all from the Dollar Store).

But my 15 year old questions why I like watching or even listening to hockey on the radio.

From that article:

If Alfredsson had to make the first pick, he'd probably be like the rest of the world and take Stamkos. But second. "I know Zach (Bogosian), he works out with me," Alfredsson said. "I'd take him.

Great game, Matrix

played very well and deserved the shutout, if only Ottawa hadn't let up in the 3rd and Perrault hadn't scored off his teeth.

Just hope the sloppy 3rd period play doesn't carry over into our game against the Bruins.

Excellent win for the Sens.

There were a lot of people wondered who Karlsson was and when he was up on stage, he looked so small and the questions started to come. Heh heh. As they say though, don't judge a book by it's cover.

Fast forward to now and Murray's brilliance along with the supreme scouting they had are vindicated.

As for Brennan, he is who we thought he is.

by **tim1_2** on Thu Feb 23, 2012 8:47 am

It was interesting to see Neil take a couple runs in the 1st period at Semin (one of which resulted in the "Hit to the Head" penalty), and there was ZERO response from the Caps. They weren't physical, didn't retaliate...just...emotionless. Hard to imagine with Dale Hunter behind the bench, but maybe his heart's really not in it either. Apparently it took some convincing to get him to leave London to come coach the Caps. Almost like he felt obliged to help them.

by **SpezDispenser** on Thu Feb 23, 2012 9:40 am

Why haven't we heard of the Caps ready to trade? Or LA for that matter? Terrible teams,the Caps are brutal.

Vokoun's numbers astounded me last night as I hadn't been paying attention. .920, 2.45? Damn...the Caps can't score anymore, everything has gone to Dung there.

Very true. I was thinking yesterday how good they'd be with MacLean as their coach.

MacLean is not Jesus. I think he's a real good coach and will actually even get better as time goes on but this team was being run by Mighty Mike Fisher and once he was gone, the team was better overnight. Fact. Beer

No, but he can push the right buttons and allows for an offensive, Detroit puck possession type game that would have benefited the Caps in a huge way.
