The Caps are just freaking Unstoppable right now.

I only saw the last 8 minutes of the game and it was amazing. I didn't realize the Pens were up 4-1. I agree UR I think the Caps are unstoppable and I have not seen anyone that I think could play them in a series and win.

How did Theo do overall? He didn't seem like their strongest player what little I saw.

Yes, we have had a penchant for blowing leads this season, and unfortunately it resurfaced yesterday against a very good Caps team. I did not see the whole game because we had indoor soccer practice, but I read that Orpik got called for a questionable penalty that lead to the overtime game-winning goal. BUT you cannot let teams come back from 4-1, but Ovechkin is really cookin' now, as is Crosby...

tough loss man but you guys have a lot of time to straighten things out

Pitt is too good not to at least win 1 round.

we shall see what happens.

Caps are en fuego now. 14 straight wins. Impressive.

Not bad but I think Stamkos is better still IMHO.

Did you mean Tavares? Stamkos was drafted in 08 and is on pace for 40 goals this year
Duschene and Tavares are about the same so far but Duschene plays on a better team

Victor Hedman of the Lightning maybe? I like Matt D better now but who knows
down the road. Samsonov was great as a rook with Boston and then kind of petered off
in his career.

we shall see. The Avs look good now. I am happy for all of you guys.

Oh yeah, lots of time left in the regular season. Plus, they had their hotel plans disrupted because of the snow and had to charter bus it into town, but they still let it slip away. It'll be an interesting game next time they face each other...

Is hell going to freeze over. The Canes have won 4 straight and are 12-6 since Jan 1st.

And they have won 4 in a row without Ward.

Beating the Slugs in OT is always sweet as well.

Med -

Matt Cullen to Ottawa for D - Alex Picard and a 2nd rounder.

Done deal.

and Cullen helped his new team before leaving, by scoring the game winner against Buffalo last night and moving Ottawa ahead of them. heh

How good is Picard.

I know Cullen is an unrestricted after 2010 so get something for him
is good.

I wonder if Whitney will be next?

Thanks Flat

Another trade from NHL.com

The Chicago Blackhawks got a little older and a bit more offensive on their blue line Friday, acquiring veteran defenseman Kim Johnsson from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for defenseman Cam Barker.

The Blackhawks also received the rights to Nick Leddy, the Wild's 2009 first-round pick.

Johnsson, 33, has 14 points in 52 games, but has three seasons with at least 10 goals, and three with at least 30 points. In 10 NHL seasons with the Rangers, Flyers and Wild, Johnsson has 66 goals and 281 points. He also has 12 points in 43 Stanley Cup Playoff games.

Med what in the world. You guys beat the Devils????? I'm sure the Devils are going..........

[weazel]

Barker would still be a Blackhawk if he didn't take the low road in the off-season and fight the RFA signing that showed up late to his door. Good riddance to Barker, no more give aways in front of our own net! Lets hope Versteeg is next.

You dont like Versteeg. Just curious why?

He has some nice skill IMO


btw what is up with the Canes winning 5 in a row and 4 without Cam Ward.

I love this Peeters kid playing goal. Also happy Boychuck got his 1st NHL goal finally. I know they wont make the playoffs, but it wont be from lack of trying.

they are like 14-6 since Jan 1 I believe and are on a 9-2 run.

And we couldn't take advantage of it-losing again in OT, this time to Nashville in a shootout.

We better get moving after the Olympic break. I know we're in good shape, but I am seeing little signs of little cracks in the armor that have to get fixed before the playoffs. Oh well, at least we're getting a point when we go to OT; we're not losing, but we're not winning either.

LET'S WAKE UP, BOYS.....

It's not that I dont like him, but he gives the puck away far too often and costs the team scoring chances. Also, he and Barker both pulled that RFA shit last summer which basically screwed Chicago on the cap. 4 other players just signed the papers and went with the flow, Barker and Versteeg got greedy and are now paid more than they are worth.
