I was about to post about Greeny.

Not sure how I feel about it. Shatty Deuces put a bad taste in my mouth last year. :)drummer:) But we need some major help on the blue line.

Why Chorney isn't in the lineup baffles me. Solid Blue Liner in my opinion!

Green would be a welcome return. He seems to have refined his D-game in the past few years. I talked to a Red Wings' season ticket holder a few weeks ago and they love him in Detroit. My problem with him in Washington was that he'd get all caught up on the rush and suddenly there was a 2-on-1 breakaway going the other way.

I fear the youngsters will be exposed in the playoffs big time. Get Chorney in there for some action now.

Phew. I was a bit scared after the 1st period. Nice finish in the 2nd and 3rd by the Caps, including ending some scoreless streaks. Hopefully this is the start of a nice run.

Get ready for a busy schedule! 33 games in 67 nights.

Did you see how relieved Oshie was when he scored?

The next couple months is going to be a dog fight in the standings. This is going to be fun!

Hell, I was relieved for him. :lol: After he scored I threw both hands up like, "about time!". :lol:

Burky is having a bad year. Eller and Connolly line is something else. Carlson needs to work on his passes. Kuzy needs to work on watching the puck more. Djoos needs to work on not checking his own goalie. :lol:

The metro is also a great division and I'm looking forward to focusing on hockey. Football is almost done and hunting season is almost over (but the semester just started at school).

Lightning! Five wins out of seven so far in this extended (four prior and four after the break) eight game road trip. Not too shabby with the injuries to key players. Next man up seems to be working out quite well, and the next man up doesn't want to be sent back down, for sure. Seems to be a pretty nice predicament to be in. Still a long way to go, and in this game, we know anything can happen.

Caps begin their "We know our D sucks, but we've had the offense to hold up the team" skid.

Caps begin their "let's sign a defenseman for our epic playoff run"

Orpik.... SMDH!!

Carlson.... Scoring but sloppy D

Bowey.... Go play in Hershey & let Chorney on the ice.

:lol: That too.

Orpik. Man I don't know what his deal is.

Bowey needs to go and I think Kempny is taking his spot. Bowey is just....bad. I wonder if Kempny is playing tonight.

In other news, go Team USA! They looked good last night (and terrible against Russia....excuse me, "The athletes from Russia").

We'll see how tonight goes for the Caps. The Hawks blew them out, then they got blown out by VGK. The Caps "bounced back" against..............Buffalo.

This will be a game that shows what this team is really about. Hopefully they stop giving up during long stretches of the game (like the entire 3rd period last night).

What do you think about Chorney? I made a comment on a Caps site and more than none said they didn't think Chorney was NHL caliber.... I beg to differ. He has started 24 games this season with a +8. I think he is solid & every time for the past two seasons he has been called up, he has stepped up!

RMNB? That site is like a cult following. Whatever the author says goes. Just look at Schmidt. They think he's the second coming of Christ. He's good and a great guy, sure, but not quite the doomsday Forsberg-level loss the Caps suffered as they make it out to be.

I don't think I've seen enough of Chorney to really say one way or another. His (limited) stats shows his gives up the puck a bit too much for my liking (11 giveaways this season alone in his limited ice time) That being said, there's a few players I think I've seen too much. Bowey needs to sit. Orpik needs a line change, drop in minutes, or a sit, but Trotz has a thing for the older fellas. I'd be okay rotating Chorney in but I don't know why Trotz won't do that.

Well Crap! https://www.russianmachineneverbrea...ington-capitals-place-taylor-chorney-waivers/

I think Carlson needs less minutes as well. Seems his mistakes come late in the game, but definitely Orpik.

Woof.

Mens US Team is out and Caps lost (shocker there).

Man! I fell asleep right before the damn shootout. They needed Oshie!

Caps have some serious Defensive woes & Holtby hasn't even been sharp lately... I sure hope they have another move up their sleeve after putting Chorney on waivers...

I feel asleep early in the third, woke up and watched the rest of it this morning. Team USA would have been stacked if Bettman wasn't a dick.

Holtby has not been good recently, I agree. 0-2-2 in his last 4 or something like that, but the D in front of him hasn't helped either.
