2010-2011 NHL Season Thread

They put Hudler on the #2 PP with Kronwall after Modano went down, because apparently putting a tiny guy out there to replace an old guy seemed fitting.

Does Cleary already play up front on either unit? Seems like he'd be a better choice for that...

Cleary occasionally fills in at ES and on the PP for Holmstrom with Dats and Zata, and occasionally goes on the 2nd PP unit. It should really be Ericsson or Stuart on the point with Kronwall but apparently they are both retarded and shitty at passing which is pretty (incredibly) necessary to play the point on the Wings PP.

Also where is Anton

e: also Sidney Crosby is pretty good he might make it one day

[Alderaan]

Crosby with another goal!

Another multiple point game.

2-1 Pens.

[Sepukku]

Holy fuck Crosby just BURIES one. 2 points tonight, 16 game point streak w/ 33 pts in 16 games. Now 8 points ahead of Stamkos in the scoring race and 3 goals ahead in the Rocket Richard race. But hey... Sidney Crosby sucks, AO and Stamkos are much better.

Crafting his five-paragraph essay.

let the poor guy weep in peace

edit: also, what B-to-the-gor said.

I'll give you those two, but you're going to feel silly when Byfuglien beats him for the Art Ross!

Put Crosby on the same line with St. Louis and see how high Sid's point lead/streak goes. The man would average 2pts a game.

Byfuglien Art Ross

I approve.

[Ishido]

Fuck you Brad Staurt stop being bad.

[Selamis]

No Eric Fehr tonight, meh.

Also, Ron Wilson is always such a sharp dresser.

"Excuse me, I heard there was a meeting for sharp dressed men...."

YOU RANG

[Ishido]

Filppula receives a pass in the slot on a PP and decides to stick handle instead of shooting and gets it poked off his stick.

Sweet Holmstrom just got a penalty for getting checked to the ice as he was moving for a puck in the corner.

e: nvm it was a goalie interference call because Holmstrom got pushed into the crease and tried to get out and he got pushed into Niemi.

[Bregor]

Saw the score and figured Osgood was in net, what gives Ishi?

[Selamis]

It amazes me every week how I can have pretty much all Captains and Alternate Captains on hockey teams, and I'm always a - overall, how is this possible lol?

[Bregor]

Grabovski with a real nice one-timer there. Don't blow this, Caps...

[Ishido]

SHG because Hudler sucks at playing the point, good tip in by Heatley, 3rd goal was a failure by like 4 people most notably Stuart for completely missing his coverage and making what should have been a 1 on 2 into a 1 on 1 and Couture ripping a shot that Howard probably could have stopped.

Wings should have 3 but 1 was waived off on a quick whistle.

[Ishido]

Also Wings had fun during the first 10 minutes limiting SJ to nothing but apparently the wheels fell off after the SHG and they decided to pass in to sticks and shoot into the people who are blocking in front.

As I type Heatley scores again, giveaway leads to 2 on 1 etc.

[Bregor]

Typical Caps 3rd period.
