HedleyLamarr Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Two slumping Alberta teams play one and another tonight, after last night's game and it wasn't even a badly played game and the result 5-1 was what happens if you get behind early. How can it get any worse?We get forced to read your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Caps have acquired Jason Chimera for Chris Clark and Milan Jurcina. Ovechkin might be named captain soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrySmalls Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Enough cap space to sign Backstrom to an extension and wiggle room for call-ups (Sloan and Carlson come to mind) from Hershey to be on the roster. Preceding this trade, the Caps signed Semin to a one year extension worth $6 million. Semin is a UFA after the 2010-2011 season.Although I will be surprised at what GMGM (GM George McPhee) pulls out of thin air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I think this trade was just to balance up the roster. Chris Clark was a good captain, and honestly this is a huge risk. This team has been going great guns lately and trading the captain is usually a statement to an under performing team. I hope it doesnt backfire but the team seems like theyve got a good room and theres really no lack of leadership. As has been mentioned, Ovie would make a good captain, but theyve got other guys who provide leadership like Brooks Laich, Mike Knuble, Tom Poti, and Brendan Morrison so I think they'll be fine, it just seems like kind of a head scratcher to trade your captain at this point of such a successful season thus far.

habsfan1 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Jaroslav Halak stopped approximately 150 shots in the last 3 games. This earns him the NHL's first star of the week. Without him, the team would be nothing. The Habs may have got 3 wins, but their play was garbage in all 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Red Wings shut out again!Music to my ears THE 9-GAME LOSING STREAK IS OVER!!!!!and I had a great seat. My girlfriend and I sat directly behind Steve Mason about ten rows up in the attack once end. I love that vantage point. For one, you never have to move your head and two, I got to see a hell of a performance from the reigning rookie of the year. I'm okay with that end because I'm one of those weird people that like watching defense. The winning goal was kinda hard to see from the other end, but I'm alright with that. Aside from finally ending the losing streak and Steve Mason looking like last season's Steve Mason, the best part was that the 6 thousand Red Wings fans in attendance had literally nothing to cheer about. I loved it because I hate when all the Red Wings fans (most of whom grew up in Columbus) come into our building and score and it sounds like a Red Wings home game. The atmosphere was really great despite the Blue Jackets recent struggles. I was actually at the last Blue Jackets victory prior to tonight's game which was a 3-0 win over Florida. Maybe I should go more often, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Somewhat off topic:I noticed Columbus wore their whites at home again. They would look a lot better if they had blue pants. So would their blue jerseys (which are the better ones, imo).

Perhaps they could go the Colorado Rockies route and use home and road pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashcarson15 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'd go the two pant route honestly but whatever, if it gets wins then it's all good.Oh and McCarthy, you should buy season tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheelhouse Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Going into the third period of tonight's game, Martin Brodeur has a ridiculous shutout streak against the Penguins. He shut them out completely the last game (12/21), didn't allow a goal in periods 2 and 3 of the game before that (11/12), and hasn't allowed one in the first two periods tonight.

Wheelhouse Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Welp, that didn't work. Another shutout for Marty. Eight straight periods without allowing a goal.

Maz Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Pens are on a bit of a slump, but no big deal. At least get enough wins in January and February to stay in 4th. Then go into the Olympic break. Then the annual March/April tear.
