New acquisition Scott Walker has 2 goals in the 3rd! The other 2 look to be contributing a ton too. So ready for this run!

Here's the interview Caps GM George McPhee did with Elliot in the Morning yesterday:

Looks like the hit that got Ovi throw out of today's game might cost the checkee the rest of his season:

It's too bad because it was really just more of a push and the guy just took a header.

It's also too bad because it was an otherwise awesome comeback by the Caps and a huge road win.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Yeah, he got the sympathy call. 2 game rest for Ovi

Again, this led to NO suspension. [YT]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z1vJrIAg-0&feature=related[/YT]

[quote=SmootSmack;600498]Ted Leonsis has been the owner for 10 years and we have yet to win a Stanley Cup. He's got to go!!!!

Seriously though, I really hope this is the year. Rock the Red![/quote]


Dude, Mike Illitch has owned the Wings since who knows when. The Wings sucked bad in the 70's to early 80's, then he got Jacque Dumeres and they were a playoff team, but Gretztsky, and the Black Hawks kept them from the playing for Lord Stanley, then Dumeres left, for Brian Polano who sucked ass. It wasn't til Bowman came around that the Wings were real contenders and actually won it. My point is Leonsis so far has done a real nice job for the Caps. You guys were right where the Wings were in the 70's, they sucked ass, and now you are a good solid, young team!!!! Patience, you might get your cup this year and even maybe next as well.

PS. Sorry about misspelling Jacque's last name!

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Do you think the Danny has to go also? Hasn't even made a conference title game since he has been the owner.

Sarcasm is lost on the head-butter

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Its such BS that Ovechkin gets 2 games for an boarding call that wasn't even a hit from behind. Matt Cooke's hit on Marc Savard got a new rule implemented in the NHL - but his didn't get a game misconduct, suspension, or fine.

The only reason Ovechkin got what he got is because the NHL thinks he is a dirty player. However, there is a difference between dirty and intense. The perfect example is Sean Taylor.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Yeah, just comes with the attention he gets I guess. I've seen way worse, the guy just didn't brace himself well.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

No one can say we're a one man team, we dominate even without him, hell we've looked great in pretty much every game without him. Not to say he brings the team down by any means, I think some of the players focus on getting him the puck more because you know what he can do with it. Either way, we're a great team, let's bring that cup to DC.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

2 goals in less than 2 minutes apart to go up 3-2 on the pens. I love it! Semin's goal was so dirty too...
