    So...Laviolette. Thoughts?

    I'm unsure he was the right choice. More than anything we need a guy who can kick the young players in the ass, and Laviolette doesn't strike me as much of an ass-kicker. Can't get any worse though! :lol:

    interesting news. they've been playing like shit for the past month, even when they won. hopefully, this will give them a little fire in the belly and get them flying around the ice vs. what they have been doing which seemed to be skating in slow motion.

    Holy shit, this Caps game is UGLY.

    And a nine minute power play?? I've never even see that happen before. :?

    Which leads to a 8-2 Capitals win and domination

    I think FUGLY was the word you are looking for :lol: . Yeah never heard of a 9 min. Power play either. Guess the coaching change didn't have too much to do with the way we played.

    I can remember a Capitals game I attended back in the 90's where there was a 10+ minute uninterrupted 2nd period. I was like when will there be an icing, any stoppage in play so I can go to the can.

    Yeah, and the call was total bullshit. If you want to give Carcillo a major for fighting and a misconduct for being an asshole, fine. But the weak crosschecking call AND the instigator on top of it? Ridiculous. Both players dropped the gloves. If Carcillo doesn't one-punch the guy to the ice we're likely looking at 5 minute fighting majors for both players and nothing else.

    Another example of the NHL punishing based on outcome rather than the actual act itself. :evil:

    Carcillo has been on his best behavior this season, and has been more effective because of it. I don't know if he was trying to impress a new coach, but last night was a return to bonehead.

    There was so much wrong last night that I don't even know where to begin. I think Laviolette is an impressive coach who got canned for no reason by the Isles (how'd that Steve Stirling era go?) and won a Cup in Carolina. Let's hope the guys were just drained from switching coaches, and can move on Monday. And hope that Ray Emery gets his mojo back.

    UGH.

    A truly great game to watch, there is nothing I love more than watching the Caps take the Flyers out behind the woodshed. I think the Flyers need to sign some more slow, old defensemen, perhaps another goon or two who bring nothing to the game, and maybe another shitty goalie. That should help them turn it around, wait, that's what they've been doing for the last few years. Flyers suck balls!!!

    Carcillo sucks - will the Flyers ever realize it's not 1974 anymore? enough with the goons who can't freakin play. You can be tough and still be a good player, a la Pronger, Rick Tocchet of old, etc. Putting Carcillo on the ice is a freakin waste - enough of it already.

    I still think this team is going to be fine. still lots of talent on this team but they just need a kick in the ass. Laviolette is the man for that.

    ol Danny boy gets a 4 game suspension.

    does it really matter? unless they decide they want to play at 100% effort 100% of the time, it's all a big mute point.

    not a lot of shots. they said it was a low mark for Montreal for total combined shots in the 1s1 period.


    even tho the Flyers lost, they seemed to have more jump last night then they have in the last 3 weeks. they still look lost out there at times.


    are they ever going to score on teh power play again? 17 straight i belive.

    New low for total shots in a game ;)
    Pretty lethargic offense for both teams last night, glad I got 2 points though.
