bar Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) vs. Projected Lines Pyatt - Gomez - Gionta Darche - Plekanec - S. Kostitsyn Moen - Metropolit - D'Agostini Maxwell - Desharnais - Lapierre Markov - O'Byrne Hamrlik - Spacek Gill - Gorges Price So Price gets the start tonight, hey Price...you're struggling, here's your chance to make an impression on the new GM, oh yeah...5 regulars out of the lineup (Pouliot, Mara, Bergeron, Cammalleri, A. Kostitsyn), so play well or..you know...you're a failure and you'll never make it. The team will get you one goal support..maybe, infact you better get a shutty tonight if ya want us to love you! All kidding aside, tough game. Markov has to play big tonight, he's been a bit shakey lately, Price has to be the star tonight. Pyatt on the 1st/2nd line...I dunno. Neat fact, the NHL's longest winning streak belongs to the 1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins who won 17 straight games, caps sit at 14. Edited February 10, 2010 by bar Quote
brobin Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 While this is a tough start for Price, they did the same thing to Halak, tossing him into a tough game after a long period of bench warming. Realistically, the team has little chance for a win. I think all Price needs to do is play well and give the team a chance. He can't win this on his own and he can't be expected to. His upside is to play incredible and actually steal a win. That would be fantastic. Oh, and I won't be surprised if his first goal against is a bit soft. He has to be rusty and will need to get into the feel of a game again. Hopefully people won't freak out and will give him some time to settle in. As for the rest of the team, they better be skating they butts off tonight. Washington is not a very good defensive team, but if you sit back in defend mode you will lose. They have to keep them in their own end and hope Ovie is half asleep. Don't wake him up! Quote
ForumGhost Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 This is probably THE tough game for Price. He's been sitting for a while, has to play the top ranking team in the NHL with arguably the worlds best player that is currently on a 14 game winning streak. Not to mention the 5 key players we are missing. Sucks to be Price... Quote
RJP Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Ah, what's the use? Tom Pyatt? He gets called up and in 19 games has 0 points. Obviously he's called up to play defensive hockey because it's the Caps. Just looking at JM behind the bench gets me angry these days. We are going to lose anyway, may as well go all out and shoot it out with the Caps, I'm sick of these 'hold your breath" games, win big or lose big Quote
bar Posted February 11, 2010 Author Posted February 11, 2010 Wow...do you really come on to a game thread to be negative? Be positive!!! Quote
brobin Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 No, but if they are going to lose I would rather have them go for it and lose 5-4 then to sit back and lose 3 -0. Wow...do you really come on to a game thread to be negative? Be positive!!! Quote
brobin Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 thats what I want to see.. way to go Gomez and company. Keep at them. Sigh.. and then we give them a PP in the offensive zone. Hold on Price.. here comes the gauntlet... Quote
sakiqc Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 thats what I want to see.. way to go Gomez and company. Keep at them. yeah , very nice !!! Congrats to Pyatt on his 1st NHL point ! Glad he's back and hope he will continue playing like that! Quote
brobin Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 good job on the PK... Price should be warmed up now. Quote
sakiqc Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 The Gomez line started the game like if they were trailing by 1 with 2 minutes left in the game. That's the way to play. Quote
kenadian Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Nice to see TSN bring in their "B" camera crew................................. Quote
brobin Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 good stuff.. this is how they played Pitts and had success. Too bad they didn't play Boston like this. costly mistake by O'byrne... Quote
brobin Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 I didn't know they had an "a' crew. Nice to see TSN bring in their "B" camera crew................................. Quote
kenadian Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Can you imagine if McGuire was the GM..................you get called into his office for a quick chat and you gotta listen to him ramble on, and on and on......... By the end you're wishing you're sucking dirty pond water, and you'd want to Kabonk him! And we're back sounds like Pierre was yapping through the whole TV timeout..............Pierre's Playhouse!

han_dyl Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Dags seems to have a lot of jump tonight. Quote
han_dyl Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 why do I have the feeling Ovie's gonna have a dozen or so shots before this game is said and done? Quote
sakiqc Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 why do I have the feeling Ovie's gonna have a dozen or so shots before this game is said and done? bad play by Darche. you can't play soft with one hand in front of your net and faced to the best player of the NHL Quote
KoZed Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Could someone explain to me what is the point of dumping pucks in the corners, work your butt off to dig it out and then just send it to the point and give it to your talentless defensemen who couldnt hit the net if their life depended on it? ... and the stupid refs screw us again. F**k 'hem. Quote
brobin Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Well, good first period by Price... boys need to pick it up offensively again.. they are starting to get outworked. Oh crap... that was not good.. that was brutal. that might be a broken jaw... and another one goes down... Quote
rafikz Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Price: " Georges, you @#$%&*, It was going to be a glove save, I could have made TSN's highlight of the night " Quote
han_dyl Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 McGuire said he was bleeding from the back of his head so I don't think it's his jaw Quote
Habitforming Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Scary thing for the guys to watch there. the good thing is that it was at the end of the period so the guys can get a status update and be somewhat back into the game when play resumes. (assuming the news isn't bad of course) Quote
