GNT: Florida @ Washington 10/18/11

I was really unsure about MP85 on the 4th line because of his size, but he's really played large

 

[apachef4]

Big saves by both goalies!

 

[ritari330]

Stone hands needed to lift that...

 

[apachef4]

I was afraid this was going to be like Saturday's game and be ho-hum after the first, but luckily it's opened up here in the last few minutes.

 

[apachef4]

Stone hands needed to lift that...

Yeah, I liked the idea though, trying to go short side. Goalie has to respect the speed and get over quickly...tried to catch him overcommiting.

 

[apachef4]

You heard anything on when to expect Neuvy back?

 

[apachef4]

Skille & Hendricks get matching minors, 4-on-4.

he's probably scored 2 or 3 goals that way, but each time he's been able to lift it at the very least over the pads. Remember one last season in the 2nd game after they broke the 8 game losing streak or however many it was.

 

[apachef4]

Green's down in a heap...

 

[apachef4]

Great move by Hendricks, can't finish.

Bruised foot. Took a shot off his foot in practice. No idea when he'll be back though...

 

[apachef4]

Didn't look like much of a hit/slash on Green, but he got up slowly and went immediately to the locker room. Hope all is well.

1-0 Caps after 2.

 

[ritari330]

Looked like Greenie got hit in the little greenies there...Ouch

Is that what happened? I thought it was the leg, though your explaination would make more sense with the way he went down.

Hendricks really is a hidden weapon with those moves..

Yeah, I rolled it back on the DVR and it looked like he took the stick right in the wrong place....

Thought he would be wearing a cup, but I never did when I played baseball. Never was comfortable with it

I didn't for baseball either, but I thought hockey would be different with the sticks flying around and all.

 

[ritari330]

Even when I played catcher I didn't wear a cup....

 

[apachef4]

3rd period begins.

 

[apachef4]

Now I'm questioning your intelligence.
