BrySmalls Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The Caps played a hockey game last night and lost to the Devils 3-2. However, the Caps were leading 2-1 at the start of the third period and that's when the wheels came off.They took SEVEN (albeit one was at the end of the game) penalties in that period. Here's the infraction breakdown for the 3rd:1:16 WASHINGTON boarding - 2 min N. Backstrom drawn by A. Larsson1:16 NEW JERSEY cross checking - 2 min A. Larsson drawn by N. Backstrom2:55 WASHINGTON holding - 2 min M. Hendricks drawn by I. Kovalchuk3:09 WASHINGTON smothering puck - 2 min T. Kundratek6:52 WASHINGTON tripping - 2 min A. Ovechkin drawn by A. Ponikarovsky9:59 WASHINGTON hooking - 2 min J. Erskine drawn by P. Elias10:51 WASHINGTON interference - 2 min T. Poti drawn by D. Clarkson20:00 WASHINGTON spearing - 5 min T. BrouwerBeing on the PK for nearly the entire period is no way to win a hockey game!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Wouldn't switching Nashville and Winnipeg make more sense? Nashville seems like it should be in the Southeast, and Columbus seems like it should be in the Great Lakes heavy Central.I'll be damned if a team in the central time zone moves east before the Blue Jackets. Detroit getting picked over us would be preferable to that. Anyways, I don't think it's going to happen anymore as it's looking like a Winnipeg-Quebec flipflop, but that's what I said three years ago so what the hell do any of us know?!

The_Admiral Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The West will collectively raise hell if the Wings move East. This obsession with time zones is getting weird. Where is this North America where Detroit is considered more aligned with Boston, Toronto, and Ottawa than Chicago, Minneapolis, and St. Louis? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Original Six crap?But you can't then leave the Blackhawks to whither and die while the other five teams can enjoy each other's company. Furthermore, it would be unfair to the West to have no ancient rivalries in their Conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 "Me and Ericsson were going to fight, we were backing up," Dorsett said. "Tootoo was being himself and came in swinging, being the cheap player that he is. In my mind he should have gotten a suspension. Tootoo is a pretty irrelevant player."- Derek Dorsett on his fight with Jordin TootooWhy is that guy still in the league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Tootoo is a nice story as far as being the first Inuit in the league (frankly, I don't know how it took this long), but he offers absolutely nothing as a player. Why the Red Wings of all teams would sign him still befuddles me.Unrelated to absolutely anything, but whoa guys, don't ever leave an unfinished can of Dad's root beer out overnight and then take a swig from it in the morning. It was delicious last night, but now I feel like I just drank Dr. McSchmarfenberger's Olde-Tyme Medicinal Tonic.

Where is this North America where Detroit is considered more aligned with Boston, Toronto, and Ottawa than Chicago, Minneapolis, and St. Louis?This. North American pro sports will always be very east-heavy with the majority of any one league's teams east of the Mississippi. If leagues are dead set on geographical alignment (and I don't see any other way to do it) then you have to fudge it a bit when it comes to the eastern-teams-that-aren't-as-eastern-as-the-other-eastern-teams.Original Six crap?But you can't then leave the Blackhawks to whither and die while the other five teams can enjoy each other's company.

Why the Red Wings of all teams would sign him still befuddles me.There was a big out cry in the off season from the fan base here that the team was not "tough enough" and it really flared up after the Weber/Zetterberg incidend and notbody on the team did a thing about it.

BLUELANDbeliever Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Jets defenseman Zach Redmond got severely injured during practice in Raleigh yesterday. Anybody on here that keeps up with the Jets could point me to a beat writer article that would be great... also, 33 years ago today... this: EDIT, got tweeted this article about Redmond (scary stuff) http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/Jets-Redmond-out-for-season-too-early-to-tell-how-recovery-will-go--192554561.html BigMac's posts make me want to punch babies.Hockey is weird and I love it.

BigBubba Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Ideally I'd like to see Toronto back in the West with the likes of Detroit, Chicago, and Minnesota (giving each conference three Original Six teams), but that's probably not happening.While having a 3-3 Original Six split among the Conferences would be nice to have, I just can't get on board with the Leafs moving away from their three biggest rivals in the East.

Let the insufferableness stay in one conference.Yeah forget Toronto/Montreal or Chicago/Detroit. Nashville/Phoenix is what truly captures the hearts and minds of hockey fans.
