yeah that was mentioned in the off season thread.. that a reaaly good deal.

caps have been disappointing me lately but at least they'll clinch the eastern tonight.

especially since neither of them really did anything in the first 65 minutes. ovechkin needs to stop looking for the pass and shoot more.

didn't the steroid deal originally happen last year? plus, didn't all the Olympians (ovie, backstrom, semin, varlamov) have to get tested to compete?

... this is like the third time this year they've scored 5-7 goals without OV.

lol @ crosby/hank.

green wouldn't be on one of the forward lines because he's a defender.

I think jurcina is injured? Anyway i didn't watch the game but steckel was scratched for Walker ( who had 2 goals, nice). Erskie was scratched for Corvo.

i hate ordering gear from hockeymonkey. I'd almost rather pay more money for a product i don't really want from my LHS. hockeymonkey will probably put the shit i ordered tuesday in the mail friday so it won't get here until the middle of next month because UPS is retarded.

hoping they dress varly and neuvy and sit theo.

oh ok. i left after the firts and didn't get back unilt the ned of the second. Should've dressed varly.

why was neuvy pulled?

price to caps for theo pls

with both starting goalies and some top forwards and defense called up :D

Holtby looked really good in training camp this year also. I think he may be a hidden gem that will net a decent return as part of a trade, if both Neuvirth and Varlamov develop as planned. It's hard to say when a goalie is NHL ready, some don't develop until their late 20's, others look good from juniors on up. Holtby has excelled given the opportunity within the organization, I hope he gets a start in his callup, but it does look like it's just a precautionary ride the pine for a game or 2 until Theo is Ok again I saw Holtby a couple weeks ago and was impressed by his play and he seems to be a big "team guy". After every goal he came out to the blue line to congratulate the guys after they went down the bench tapping gloves. There were a couple other things that just stood out as being very team oriented. I got to see holtby a few times in south carolina and other than a few bad goals i've liked the way he played. wish we could get him back :D
