Pretty slim pickings on the Caps boards. Only 7 pages from pre-game to post-game.

Of interest

They have a "Hockey 101" link on their main page for fans who need to learn "what is hockey" and "what are the rules".

Also - they are offering ticket packages at $69.00 for 2 tickets!! Vancouver fans can only dream!!

Very few comments on the Nucks players but some rather scathing assessments of their own players.

Enjoy

Pre-game comments

I get the feeling the Caps come out flaccid. 6-1 Nucks.

^^^Ehh heh heh heh, ehh heh heh heh...he said flaccid!! Heh

Insert Beavis and Butthead pic here!!!

Ovy traditionally does awful against Luongo, has repeatedly said he is the hardest goalie to score on. So a shut down Ovy, means an L (loss) for tonight.

We haven't won in Vancouver in 12 years, but we might have a bounce-back game. It depends on how many times Ersk will be out of position and flop around on the ice for no reason

Maybe a group therapy session to reveal their true feelings, exorcise their inner demons, and cry on each others shoulders? What about leaving the sanitary napkins in the locker room and wearing real, over-sized man-cups?

^^^^I don't see how this helps at all. Wouldn't that just make them feel more inadequate?

Tonight the D is playing pretty well, they're skating decent, but 1 shot from the offense this period.. If they ever do get offense, the D excrements the bed.. Very similar

Vancover getting away with late cross check crap to the backs of the Caps players. I don't like it

Thought they played solid two way hockey in the 1st. However, Alzners 70's style porn star mustache is creepy

OMG, what a lame call on Wilson, that Canuck fell over like a duck and sold that call.

What is this, have we all of a sudden become a conservative team now that we are tied, geeze, can we get a little better forecheck rather then 2 shots and out?

Kesler’s goal

Neuvy has to hold that! Too soft

What a bunch of lazy asses on the first line to give up an easy goal. Neuvy with 2 soft goals tonight but the first line just standing around flat footed.

;Does Ovy feel he doesn't have to do anything on d

;If Green and Carlson are not the two laziest skaters on the face of this earth, I don't know who are. Flipping and flopping like dolphins at Seaworld

The first line sucks when they have to play D. Then Carlson doesn't clear the zone. Stupid hockey

WTF is Neuvy doing letting him stand there like that? ******* chop that ***** down. Bullexcrement

On Daniel's Goal

I agree neuvy is playing like a bumb today, but that last goal shows you why our top line isn't a playoff performing top line. That was complete domination and no physicality at all

Nice play Oleksy. We can't ******* play simple hockey. Instead we try to battle skills with Vancouver. Stupid is as stupid does

Man, to have a top line that could dominate the zone like that.. Only time our top line scores is on a break or transition. They rarely "work" for a goal in o zone.. It happen in 5-10 seconds or it doesn't happen

Balance of game

No discipline + no heart = no winning. Same old Caps.

Our idiot gm put this pack of losers together...

If you don't remove the head of the disaster, then crap is what we will get

Now they will go home, get mommy to take care of them and cook them diner (yeah, I'm talking about Ovie) and go right back to thinking that skill alone (what we have) is good enough to win the Stanley Cup

Another in a series of pathetic performances. I stayed up for this??? Gotta stop believing this team will ever get it's act together. Must be an addiction or masochism. Good nite all!

Good Lord, what kind of fanbase just turns on its star players and thrashes them after they lose but would jump on their bandwagon when they do well?

Yeesh....

:bigblush:

aha-- highlights for me were:

"Ovy traditionally does awful against Luongo, has repeatedly said he is the hardest goalie to score on. So a shut down Ovy, means an L (loss) for tonight."

"I agree neuvy is playing like a bumb today, but that last goal shows you why our top line isn't a playoff performing top line. That was complete domination and no physicality at all"

"Also - they are offering ticket packages at $69.00 for 2 tickets!! Vancouver fans can only dream!!"

that feel

I love this. Great job DIBdaQUIB! These opposite comments are revealing in so many ways. There's a lot to learn from these.

Particularly like this one ...

"Our idiot gm put this pack of losers together...

If you don't remove the head of the disaster, then crap is what we will get."

So, based on how we're looking so far, what does that say about Gillis? Which side is more legit in their GM gripe?

I don't think this is very justified, since they've added some decent depth (Ward, Chimera, Laich, Brouwer, Grabovski, Wilson) to complement the top guys, which they have lots of (Ovie, Backstrom, Johansson, Green, Carlson) and once they find the right mixture I'd say look out for them. At least on paper they look legit talent-wise, but with buy-in from everyone for the playoffs they can really do well (though Ovie's been known to not do well in defensive systems, but I digress on that).

What's more, Ovie had Lu beat when Mo-Jo fed him in the 2nd, he just hit the post. Had that one gone in I think the result might have been different.

I tend to agree with you on the depth statement. I don't think they're that far away. Also they were really quick and have a great two way game. I was really surprised.

As for the GM statement as compared to us, I think Gillis has given us a better shot at getting there quicker.
