caps are getting shut out

Marc Staal tough guy. Pffft gimme a break.

I can't understand the reasoning behind that non-call.

Sometimes, if the d gets the puck first, then it's not a penalty, but that wasn't the case there.. On top of it.. the Ranger took him down cause the net off AND the GD faceoff was outside the zone?? How is that? I mean why don't you just give the Caps a 5 min penalty too...only way it could have been worse..

My thoughts exactly, Capitals got a real raw deal out of that.

Haha the Garden is quiet.

eagles pick McNutt

preposterous on every level. should have been a penalty at a minimum and draw in their zone, but the goal should have counted. i'm surprised the caps weren't penalized at the same time. absolute (frank)ing joke.

Honestly, one of the worst recent calls I have seen. The puck wasn't frozen in Lundqvists pads.. his guy takes the cap down..then the puck goes in.. I'd say trip, or PS if not a goal.

These officials are the best of the best!

yes, i do.

I wasn't sure when exactly Mez was due back, just hoping he can play some in this series. If not, some more rest isn't the worst thing in the world, especially if we can end this one quickly.

Jersey is very top-line heavy. There top line plays over 20 minutes a night, and four of their d play over 20 minutes. Their bottom pairing and 3rd and especially 4th lines are used incredibly sparingly.
- mochoson

That's not true. Jersey has 9 forwards who average 14 minutes or better per game. And their 3rd defense pair averages between 14 and 15 minutes a game. They play more of a team game then that. The top line certainly plays a lot.

i didn't hear an explanation, but i saw the official talking to hunter. i'd love to know what he said.

I consider their depth a weakness, especially on D. Their fourth line is almost a non factor.

They have 3 decent forward lines, my point was they over-play the Kovy line. I think we will see that line against Roo and Cooters line. I can see them switching off between that line and the Elias line, only because the Zajac line is out every other shift.

One of our lines is going to be fortunate enough to play againsts Henriques line, which I consider a plus.

No, Danny is not the best defensive player. But outside of Zajac, the Devils don't have crazy two way centers. Henrique is decent, but he's a rookie, and nowhere close to being as poised as Couterier. Elias is Elias.

Without even looking, I'm almost positive were the better face-off team.
- mochoson

There are matchups that favor both sides. And neither team has been great in faceoffs in the playoffs. The Devils are deeper then you give them credit for.

Garbage call.
