I don't know that they will choke, but I'm definitely of the mentality that they're past the point where regular season really even matters. Thought the same last year in fact

Yeah they need to spend this season figuring out how to win the playoffs. However that is. I think most fans couldn't care less about the reg season now. I do think hockey has become way to goalie dependent. Especially in the playoffs. Get a hot goalie and you can win the cup with an average team. They need to make playing goal a little more difficult.

Hmm, Hal Gill and Josh Georges also pitched in against the C[r]aps. (Test driving fan apostasy)

By the way Smoot, whats the chance that we'll see hockey on ESPN sometime in the next year or two?
Which U.S. network will broadcast the NHL in its next TV deal? - Puck Daddy - NHL - Yahoo! Sports

Re: Washington Capitals 2010-2011 ongoing thread

All that talk in the offseason from the ESPN about how the Caps needed to sign a veteran Goaltender. I have a feeling that if the Caps win the cup this year it'll be with Nuevy in net. Not that Varly is bad or anything, great in fact when you consider his postseason experience, but Nuevy is starting to turn into something special. Before Nuevy was just the guy with great positioning while Varly was the athletic guy that could make spectacular saves. Now it's looking like Nuevy can do both. Some of those glove saves we saw last night were ridiculous.

We were missing what, two of our top four defensemen while facing a 3-0-0 team? Impressive.
