Nhl 2013-14
Season seems so long after the partial lockout last year, but glad to have the puck back in my life. Although I am not sure I like the style of play Oates has the Caps running right now...a little more D would be nice!

Re: Nhl 2013-14
I also like the new divisional alignment. I was sick and tired of the south division champ coasting into playoffs in a weak division and getting their butts handed to them each year.

Re: Nhl 2013-14
Agreed on the divisional realignment. Adds more meaning to the rivalries... but definitely going to be a bit tougher road to the playoffs.
This years team I'm unsure on. Our defense is still suspect... so we need to ask our goalies to step up yet again and play well enough to steal some games. I've already been to a game this year, and it was a great time. Excited for another season.

Re: Nhl 2013-14
Yep.
I'm disappointed in our moves we made at the trade deadline. Ignoring our lack of d is going to be the downfall of McPhee. Goaltending hasn't been great but that's usually the case when your d hangs the goalie out to dry. If we can't beat an 8 seed like Philly we don't deserve to make the playoffs. Playoffs mean nothing when you never advance anyway. Maybe if we miss them this year we can restructure the organization around someone who places the same emphasis on defense that they do on the forwards. |

Re: Nhl 2013-14
Yep. Joke of a game to watch, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's how we play for the rest of the season. The window is closing. We should have gotten rid of Mike Green while he was still worth something. I like Oates but if he's part of the problem he needs to go too. It definitely starts with gmgm though.

Re: Nhl 2013-14
I'm looking forward to watching Kutz's debut for the Caps tonight. Four years in the making, he might be our only bright spot in this dismal season.

Re: Nhl 2013-14
Very good start to his career especially the game against Vancouver. It is evident watching the flyers-pens series this weekend that the caps are not a playoff caliber team

Typical Caps last night, 3-1 lead going into the 3 and the Kings score 4 goals game goes to OT and the Caps lose. Smh. Scary injury though, Hillen was coming across the middle and ran into a Russian freight train. Hope he's ok, he was down on the ice with no movement for at least 10 seconds.

I was beginning to say "typical Flyers hockey", they go on a nice run taking down the pens twice, blackhawks, blues - than what? They lay two eggs against the Kings and Rangers. I have been a fan since 1979, and I swear to God the team is either afraid of, or allergic to - success. They bounced back nice against Toronto last night. It is so tight rite now in the Eastern playoff race.
Hey maybe the Caps can atleast tire the Bruins out before we have to play them tomorrow! |

Boston is so good. Im hoping the Flyers can beat the filthy rangers, but it doesnt really matter because nobody is beating Boston.

Re: Nhl 2013-14
As a Bruins fan I am very afraid of the Canadians. They beat us 3 out of 4 in the regular season and they blew past the Lighting.
