LGR4GM Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 it's kinda nice that we are a team other teams want to fight, bit different then the entire darcy era. Best way to beat a team is to win the game. If the Caps want to chase Nic around all game, let them. Any distractions are good. Quote
Weave Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 I hope D-Lo suckers Wilson into some dumb penalties. He has no obligation to fight him or anyone else, even under the so-called code. Found an article earlier )I'll try to dig it up after dinner) where Wilson lays out his code fro dropping the gloves. This situation is NOT in his code. Bucky level hypocrisy? Hmmm...I always thought foligno aquitted himself quite well Yup. Quote
Doohicksie Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 Then Deslauriers is the only option. Girgensons, Bogosian, Kane,... Quote
Weave Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 I hope D-Lo suckers Wilson into some dumb penalties. He has no obligation to fight him or anyone else, even under the so-called code. Here it is.... https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/capitals/tom-wilson-may-try-to-pick-his-fights-in-the-new-nhl-season/2015/10/07/337c082c-6d27-11e5-b31c-d80d62b53e28_story.html Wilson has a code for what warrants a fight. If an opposing player is too physical with a Capitals player, then Wilson might fight on behalf of his teammate. If Wilson levels someone during the game, which at 6 feet 4 and 215 pounds he has been known to do, and an opposing player wants to defend himself or his teammate by picking a fight in response, then Wilson usually will give him the opportunity to do that. Wilson’s hard hit on defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky in the Capitals’ first-round playoff series against the New York Islanders last year knocked Visnovsky out of the postseason with a concussion. When the teams met in the preseason, Boulton was looking to retaliate, but it didn’t jibe with the unwritten code. Wilson had already fought Islanders forward Anders Lee after his hit on Visnovsky, so when Boulton wanted to spar Sept. 28, Wilson refused. It was an example of the restraint he hopes to show all season. Apparently, D-Lo doesn't get the restraint Wilson is claiming this year. Quote
Taro T Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 Here it is.... https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/capitals/tom-wilson-may-try-to-pick-his-fights-in-the-new-nhl-season/2015/10/07/337c082c-6d27-11e5-b31c-d80d62b53e28_story.html Apparently, D-Lo doesn't get the restraint Wilson is claiming this year. Well, ...., but, ..., that's DIFFERENT! :wallbash: Quote
Kruppstahl Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 Nothing's going to happen. Nothing ever happens. It's more accurate to say nothing usually happens in these types of scenarios. I have a good feeling about this one though. I don't want Kane off the ice for the sake of fighting an AHL goon. With all due respect, this isn't game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. Let all hell break loose, Kane included. Hmmm...I always thought foligno aquitted himself quite well Foligno is a good fighter who is feared throughout the NHL, at least among a certain class of would-be fighter. There are a lot of "tough guys" in the league who don't want a piece of Marcus. I am in favor of anything and everything that takes Weber off the ice. :lol: Quote
FLYNNSanity Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 Were currently 15-17-4, the 2010-11 Sabres went into the new year 15-18-4 and obviously we made playoffs................................. Quote

North Buffalo Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Any shot Risto lites up Ovi? Edited December 31, 2015 by North Buffalo Quote
Doohicksie Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 Caleb Green has some pipes. #respect Quote
darksabre Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 Good anthem. Let's go! It is, in fact, all about the game. Quote
Doohicksie Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 Any shot Risto lites up Ovi? Magic 8-Ball said YES! Quote
Doohicksie Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 Ovi with an early penalty. Sweet. Quote
Ottosmagic13 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 Ovechkin is a whiny bitch...glad they're calling his antics Quote
#freejame Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 Risto has been a magnet here for Ovi in the first minute. Loved seeing him put him on his ass there! Quote
wjag Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 ovi cant hurt them watching from the wrong side of the ice Quote
sodbuster Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 What I like so far: These caps uniforms. I grew up watching a lot of Amerks. I like rwb and stars. What I hate so far: our power play Quote
Iron Crotch Posted December 31, 2015 Report Posted December 31, 2015 Second half of the power play wasn't too bad. But, guys look hesitant to shoot. Quote
