BS call on Numminen.

Nice goal. I particularly enjoyed the reference to RJ from the NYI broadcasters.

And not surprisingly they suck again tonight.

Kotalik needs splinters ..... BAD.

Max was completely gone too, he had one or two bursts of speed in the first, then mailed in the rest of the game with the other lazy bums.

Pretty much sums up the scoring issues of late.

Whatever you choose to call it, it's time to start working for a living for this team. 90% of these guys are believing their own press now, which is the real reason they're losing.

With the game on the line - for whatever reason - Marty is NOT your guy, plain and simple. I still think 2 million for his caliber of goaltending is money down the toilet.

Yup, 95% of this team left the fire in their hearts in the locker room for far too long now. Ruff included.

Oh well, I can live with Miller not being a shutout goalie, as long as he remains a big-game goalie.

Hard to imagine with clutch players like Yashin and Satan in the line-up, isn't it? *Sarcasm mode off* :)

Yup, and then roar back in the last 5 minutes with 9 goals :D

I'd say Ovie's cheapshot is being tended to in the best way possible.

This is sick, what happened to The Caps tonight?

Oh damn, here comes the PP.

Yeah, and stay off the damn PP too. Not an easy task.

Yeah, scoring on the rush they never had problems with, even if it takes odd bounces. Weird.

I think my grandfather told me about that whe I was a kid. Is it true they actually used to take shots when at the PP, and sometimes even... score goals...?? :D

Jeeez Kotalik..........

God this PP sucks like nothing I ever saw before.

Nice one 2-0. Now, test of mettle here : Do we stop playing now that we're up 2-0, like we've seen so many times this season?

NHL.com says Kotalik got the goal?

Yeah I know, I just couldn't resist :D Other than that you're right on his numbers, particularly the GAA :blink: And I agree that Miller could use a breather.

Whether Marty is "capable" of anything other than softies and assisting on opposition goals remains open to debate, but yeah I figure you might as well give him some starts when things aren't going too well.

I have to say though, that a potential weakness from Miller is the least of my worries right now, although I see your point. We got 18 skaters who've all gotten into their heads that there's no need for them to play hard anymore, well knowing that effort was the only thing that made this team succesful last year. Without effort, these guys are the 2002-2003 Sabres all over again. And this can make me wake up in the middle of the night soaked in sweat.
