Hertl just scored a nice short handed goal. Good effort, nice shot, and a snipe to finish.


Edit: And the Sharks give up the equalizer seconds later

wow, this was pretty

 

[jstewismybastardson]

glad Motte got one. he played well.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

with that game played tonight tyler motte is now subject to waivers if sent down. I think he was playing to prove a point tonight

 

[puckhead]

if not for the 14 minutes shorthanded, and protecting lead time in the 3rd... this would bother me greatly

Wow a pronhub clip involving hockey and not starring mia khalifa

Does @Bloody Brian Burke want to change his “Caps won’t make the playoffs prediction yet?

Tom Wilson is only suspended for 1/4 of the season.

I don't think 20-62 is going to be enough to get them into the playoffs.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

The Leafs could very well be a Cup contender if they get three good defencemen and strand Ron Hainsey in Algonquin Park for the winter.

Montreal's defence is bad but they are a very quick team in front of them. Also, Price robbed two sure-shit goals and looked pretty damn good the rest of the game. If he's back, he could very well drag these guys to the playoffs.

you think having Tom Wilson on the ice makes the Capitals a worse hockey team?

Washington Capitals without Tom Wilson - 0 goals allowed

Washington Capitals with Tom Wilson - 239 goals against

Stats back it up.

I thought the Habs played pretty well. If they can play like that they may win more than I think they will. I think they were just fired up for the beginning of the season and to play the Leafs so I do not think they can keep it up.

The Leafs looked good after a bit of a slow start. Need some quality centers though. Want Pleks back?

Edit: I still hate 3 on 3. I seriously might rather them go straight to a shoot out than 3 on 3.

Just give me my ties back.

Did everyone here hate ties? I never heard a single complaint about them until they got rid of them. Maybe I was just not as tuned into the pro hockey world back then since I was a teenager and therefore spending all my time watching cartoo...mackin on chicks, man.

Amazed he didn't lick him.

Gonna take him a while to get into playoff form.

You had your chance to get Jack Johnson, and you chose not to do it.


When Carey Price is on his game, he is the best on earth.





So who is starting the Caps 82-0 thread?

There's only one poster around these parts who's even dared to mention the possibility.

Look in the mirror. You're a closet caps fan ;-)
