    Caps 1st in the Southeast. Winnipeg and Carolina keep nosediving, as expected. Pretty pathetic we're leading our division with a point total that's worse than teams in 8th in the conference.

    Shots weren't the full measure of that game...guys throwing a lot of shots from the outside at Holtby isn't scary at all. We only ended up with 19 shots on net (of course that ignores all the pipes we hit), but the amount of golden chances off odd many rushes we generated was pretty good. That...

    We moved our top pick from last year for Erat and a prospect. Fuck. I like Erat, I just don't like him for Forsberg. I just don't get it...how the fuck do you look at our roster and think it means "try to win now".

    McKenzie tweeting there is crazy levels of secrecy around the Caps deal. Why do I feel like it'll just be Chimera for a 4th or 5th rounder now.

    Rumors are Caps made a significant deal. Mcphee was supposed to talk to media at 330. Announcement still coming. Supposed to be significant.

    Starting to have shit happen...hearing Gaborik to Columbus maybe if he signs off on it. Also the Wild pulled Larsson and Hackett off the ice at practice, rumors are possibly Buffalo and Pommenville

    Philly trades for Steve Mason. You can't make this stuff up...Bob down in Columbus having a great year, and now the Flyers trade for Mason.

    Of course Dumervil basically fell into their laps, giving them the 1-2 punch on the pass rush with Suggs. The draft hasn't even happened yet...they could really nail it and still have a 10-6 year to get into the playoffs very easily. I do think they might have a bit of a down year as far as...

    Pens make another deal, Jussi Jokinen. Conditional pick, Carolina taking on some of his salary too apparently. Shero must have incriminating picks on half the GM's in the league.

    Yeah that's true, look at all the guys who have already moved there really isn't much left over. Does sound like a lot of fringe playoff teams are looking to add a piece or two though. Everyone thinks they're still in it (my team included).

    Carolina and Winnipeg are almost always shit, save for every 4 seasons or so when Carolina makes a deep playoff run. Tampa thought they were hot shit, but aside from old man Roloson getting hot one year St. Louis and Stamkos can't carry them by themselves. Florida turned the loser point into...

    Win the division, get the #3 seed. Winnipeg is 2 points ahead of us, having played 2 more games than we have, 3-7-0 their last 10 games and have lost 4 in a row. Carolina is 2 points behind us, have played 1 less game than us, but are 1-8-1 in their last 10 games. We're 6-3-1 in our last 10...

    Good thing we found '09 Ovechkin and Backstrom. Carrying the team right now. With a sprinkle of '09 Mike Green. Somehow we're only 2 points out of 1st in the Southeast with 2 games in hand...because Winnipeg sucks. Not trading Ribeiro now.

    I thought that was strange as well...not so much that they changed it in that way for the TV show, but that they actually had the seen where Sansa "saves" Dontos from Joffery's full wrath so he can live on as a fool. I figured if they cared enough to put him in that scene they'd have him be the...

    Come on Grimm, I expect more from you than the 95% of Pens fans who are morons and don't realize that if both feet leave the ice after contact (usually because of said contact) it's not an illegal hit. When I think of dirty I don't think of guys who play the game hard, I think of shitheads like...

    Why are they saying out indefinitely for Sid anyways? I get that he had to have surgery for the broken jaw, but they reported no concussion symptoms or anything like that. I'd assume he'd probably miss most of the rest of the regular season, but they have guards he can wear to help protect it...

    Grimm, the Pens do get the benefit of the doubt more than almost any other team. Yes, I did single out Cooke, because his rep goes well beyond his time in Pittsburgh, and it's been such a public thing even among his own team (hell just look at the Karlsson incident). I take offense to...

    I loved the whole "he didn't even really mean to hit him I don't think from behind" apology he gets. If that was Ovechkin, Chara, Giroux...you'd never hear the end of it. Honestly, I don't think he had malicious intent at all, I just hate knowing that non Penguin guys would likely get looked...

    Huge comeback win by the Caps. Ovechkin probably could have had 2 more goals tonight, but I'll settle for 1 and the shootout winner. We really outplayed Buffalo most of the game, just didn't do enough with the chances we had. Got some good results elsewhere too, they keep hanging in this...

    Skins able to re-sign Fred Davis for a 1 year deal. He was visiting the Jets...as if that was leverage for anyone. Probably just told him what was up, haven't been able to finish last 2 seasons and we have a cap penalty this year. Show us a full season and we'll pay you after this deal.

    Caps blew a chance to keep pace tonight. Go down 2-0 early, come back to tie it 2-2 going to the 3rd and have a PP with less than 10 minutes left. Ovechkin's goal streak ended, but ended up with an assist and probably should have had a couple more tonight but the iron and simple missing the...

    Last season I said only 2 out of the 3 of Cincy/Baltimore/Pitt was going to the playoffs, and that one would be Cincy. After seeing which of the other two fell into a downward spiral, I think that division end up almost identical to how it did last year. Cincy and Baltimore both go 10-6 again...

    Last I heard they asked the Orioles to have their game earlier or something. I'm assuming Angelos said no, cause Angelos is an asshole...but the final release I saw from the Ravens thanked the Orioles for trying to accommodate them, so I don't know what the final story was.
