Doughty is going to be an FA, I’d much rather have him at $8M per than Carlson at $7M.
doughty already makes 7 mil. why would he settle for 8 mil when he could easily get 11 to 12 mil?
We'll see if they can close this one out. I'm still not sold that they pose much danger to Tampa or the Pens. Stylistically I think they match up okay with Boston if they can get there, but think that's a tall order just to get to that match-up.
He was the captain for national junior team in 2012, they took home the silver back then.I think we need Djoos speed against Pitt (if we both make it)
Also Kuzy is an absolute gamer in the playoffs. He could be next captain after ovi retires. Wasn’t he Captain of his team in Russia and there was always articles how his team loved him?
Oshie/Niski/Carlson make sense too but they are all around the same age as Ovi
I think that is what bothers them the most. I think sometimes they play like their lives depend on it, cant get loose, find their groove, catch the wave and thats a recipee for disaster. They just need to be on their game when the time comes and they'll be fine.Saying the right things, but TALK. We've heard it before and we've seen this franchise come out flat in big games.

Dont know why everybody so scared of Tampa. They are not that good on defense despite what those names say. Their goalie has a tendency to have long stretches of bad games if you get him out of his game quickly by potting a couple of softies on him. Their offense is talented as hell but I'd rather prefer them than Boston or Pittsburgh for us down the road.

I think the players must feel fortunate that the series is 3-2 after being down 2-0. I have no doubt that they will give their best effort to try to end this one tomorrow.
I could also see them coming out with an uber conservative game plan to try and bait Columbus into mistakes and sap the energy from the building. AKA the turtle and counter (the Trotz (TM)). I have a feeling they will come out and try to frustrate Columbus versus trying to put a stake in them early. It could work, but watch out if Columbus is able to score early...
That idea seems completely counterintuitive for the to win. They’re going to be on their heels while CBJ brings it hard the opening 10 mins. Don’t mistake turtling for the other team bringing the house.
Not sure if you talk about me here but sure as hell itsi not me who is the dumb one on this one. I was talking about the Tampa being less worthy of a team to be concerned about than those mentioned. Re-read.There’s only one dumb flightless bird....I mean team this franchise should be concerned about. Playing our best game we beat anyone. I truly believe that. It’s getting them to show up an execute that scares me.

Sorry bruh, my bad. I agree on the Caps part. Getting ready is a key for them.Dumb flightless bird......
Penguin? Maybe lost in translation.
I agree that's not the right strategy, I just think they'll design the game plan around it because they expect the push from Columbus. I'm just not sold that they'll be able to turn the tables even after that opening push.
When a team turtles it means they drop into a defensive game and dump the puck out of the zone. That's not what we do at all. We get caught running around in noir own end and can't clear the zone. We would be better off if we did turtle.I could also see them coming out with an uber conservative game plan to try and bait Columbus into mistakes and sap the energy from the building.

Eh? What does eh mean?You keep trying to redefine this term for everyone but maybe you're the one who's wrong, eh? Everyone here knows what we're talking about. Japers, iirc, posted about it. The Caps tv crew doesn't say 'turtle' that I know of but they talk about things like "taking the foot off the gas" and so forth that mean the same thing.
If you want to get technical, "turtling" means falling to the ice and metaphorically going into a shell during a fight. And that going into a shell is how we all use it here, even if you only see it in one specific sense.
