Caps Riot in Montreal....What? Everyone else Does it | Caps-Habs GNT

Good game Caps fans. Your team was easily the better one tonight. I don't even think the Habs played bad, just sloppy at inopportune times.

Congrats on 9 straight.

For Eloco, CR, or any of the other caps fans that hadn't read the article. I don't know if either of you have read it or not, but here it is again

Just finished watching the game on the DVR in EST (Eloco Standard Time).

Great game from the Caps. Honestly could have finished a little better, but we were all over them tonight. Very strange first few minutes and then settled into a nice game. Enjoyed how defeated the Habs were for the last couple minutes.

Ritari - I did read the article. I think it makes some sense, but is also oversimplified garbage. I'm sure other guys on the team "talk" to Semin. I think the bigger issue is that it's easier for Jason Arnott - NHL vet, Stanley Cup winner, and journeyman - to tell Semin what he should be doing than a guy who is a rookie (like Mojo or Perreault) or slightly sub-mediocre-for-life center Eric Belanger. And I also just think that the skill set Arnott has fits well with Semin - his ability to dig out pucks sets up Semin in great spots. So I think it's great Arnott is talking and he, Laich, and Semin have clearly built a great rapport quickly, but some of this is the talking, some of it is that Semin has been a better D player all year long, and some of it just the chemistry and fit of these guys together.

In either case, I like Arnott a lot. Hope he gets healthy. But I also like that we are without our top two centers and our top offensive D-man and putting up goals and getting a W. Nice game, Caps!
