It's heartening to see a player go to a high-pressure Canadian market and thrive I'll need to see his Montreal playoff self to fully judge that aspect. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rj0498 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I am kind of both surprised and not surprised that pk is not doing too well pekka rinne is not having his best year so I imagine your plus/minus will not look too pretty but I figured subban would help mitigate those problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Quote Leonsis also spoke about his business challenges — including a mortgage on Verizon Center that costs him an estimated $36 million annually, which he called “the worst building deal in professional sports” — and acknowledged the possibilities, among them a potential move, that will open up once that mortgage is paid off in seven years. His “free agent” comment aside, Leonsis made it clear he is not actively seeking to leave downtown D.C., an area that has grown up around the franchises into a thriving, inner-city entertainment and shopping district. But neither would Leonsis commit to keeping the teams there. “In terms of the Verizon Center, I’m being sincere: There’s been no discussions of would we look to move,” he said. “Have we talked to Virginia? We have not. Have we talked to Maryland? We have not. I would never do that. My goal would be stay where we are or stay within the city.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/ted-leonsis-looks-toward-the-future-hints-at-possible-move-for-capitals-wizards/2016/11/02/25c11eb8-a118-11e6-8832-23a007c77bb4_story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The road is named Arena Dr. for a reason, and it's not for the football team. Ted wants to stay in the city since the Wizards practice facility in the city has broken ground. Ideally, he is angling the city to raze RFK stadium and build the venue on that federally-owned land, especially since the Metro Blue, Orange and Silver lines stop there.

I am aware of that I am just merely saying that in case he is unable to land them a new home in dc or where RFK stadium is located a move to say Virginia or Maryland without the need to rebrand is not exactly far fetched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 So the Leafs' goaltending and defence have, on average, been garbage this season but you know what? I'm enjoying the trend upward.

The_Admiral Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 One goal against in Corey Crawford's last 180 minutes. It's funny-sad how he's still never been totally forgiven for his ass sandwich of a 2012 season, even with two championships and a real case for a Conn Smythe in 2013, to say nothing of keeping a mediocre Hawks team afloat all last year. Maybe he'll finally be in serious Vezina consideration this year, even with the bruise he took from the penalty kill being a Chinese fire drill to start the season. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Crawford would've won the Vezina in an absolute landslide last year if Holtby didn't go full beast mode on the league for pretty much the whole season. Crawford looked really good at some stages. He's probably a top 5 goalie ATM in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 The "Good Jet" is a "Lousy Canadien"....9 goals given up to the Blue Jackets, so far. Make that 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Montoya was weak on many of the first 5 goals. But there was no good reason to continue leaving Al Montoya out to dry like that. On that note, it's Michel Therrien's birthday today and that was birthday gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a game tomorrow is a good reason, especially when the goalie that didn't play tonight has recent injury issues. Montreal, more than anyone, ought to know just how important having Price all season is. Montoya was basically taking one for the team tonight.

FGM13 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 The last time a Habs goalie let in 9 goals in a game was Patrick Roy's last game in a Montreal jersey. Now I know the Good Jet isn't Paddy Wah, but you'd think they'd have learned. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing what the coach did doesn't send a good message to that player who had to take it. He should have been spared of the embarassement because those kinds of decisions lead to favoritism and it brings negative energy that doesn't have to be there. Price is currently healthy and only played half the games so far. Price wasn't burned out or sidelined. I do see both sides because there is a game tomorrow and I understand the level of risk. But I did think about it and I do feel that this time, there was no need for special treatment. Continuing to throw the backups to the wolves would be a horrible habit to develop.
