Brashear Out (Updated)

Damn. Hope it isn't serious, Brash. Feel better soon, buddy.

Hope Tootoo hammers Semin

Seeing that POS go down tonight always puts a smile on my face and McSorley's

Cheef, you enjoying your MD 20/20 and Thunderbird cheap @$$ wines??? I heard you have a bad case at crotch rot, too!!!

Finally a PP. Let's cash in!

good job mcreary, 3 penalt call on the caps you have made all year

***for the caps

Way to stay down to kill the rush Fiddler.

Sweet, Green with a hip check like Scott Stevens #3!!!

We definitely should be up 3-1 in this game.

YES!

That might be a kick

they are gonna call it back

kick...

yeah probably it's no goal

Damn

If u play with the bull u gonna get the horn.........those Euros are great at soccer...try using your stick Thomas

Flash was standing his ground, come on

ahhh nuts

It's coming.

Get it out now

crowd is into it now...almost goal did more harm than good

Come on Caps, get fired up

I reluctantly accept the call of no goal. But there'll be another one in their net that will leave no doubt.

Pens 4 - Fla 3
Final /Shootout

Way to go Tomas!

Sergei just put on a clinic

Greg:
Of course there is - it's yours!

Steve:
Another Victory stout, please!!

we have got to win this game. Stay with NJ and gain on Beantown.

Shoot -- Pens 2 points and Canes 1 point

Come on Caps get in the game

Get off your knees ref... Youre blowing the game!

The Caps confidence is so weak right now

Big kill here.

Great job Brooks

There we go. Way to go brooks!

Great job Laich and Semin!!

I'm kinda glad there are two refs so that we at least get SOME power plays. ;)

lazy hook behind the play by Federov
....what leadership he shows to the young Euros

4 on 4 get one here and another on the PP

Let's go Caps!!!

Laich has had a superb game

Hey come on now wendel2, Fedorov should have a grandfather clause when it comes to hooking. Watch any game from the 90's, guys were getting spun around like tops and there were no calls.

story is the same as it has been recently...
SO...MANY...CHANCES...

Now it's common knowledge, grab a stick under your arm or through it and act like you're getting yanked. Works almost every time

Ok, it's time to bury it. Let's go get one.

Come on Caps -- bury this PP!

this is it right here, they have to score

ALL RIGHT MCCREARY!!!

Lets go PP

Make it happen guys. You can do it!

The great 8 is in a slump

Thats alright he's saving it for the playoffs

Enough of the crap passes

OVI... so very close

If Ellis got that he's been fantastic tonight.

good idea to sign guys who need grandfather clauses.....maybe mcsorley will give brash a clause too

What the hell -- Ellis the stud???

We do seem to bring the best out of some of these goalies

16 goals in 17 games is a slump.

Wow Ellis ...

Dan Ellis has never played this well in his life, I promise you

Malkin does that 9 times out of a 10 when he's going to the corner, so if that's interference they let it go all the time.

Stop the stupid penalties!

...Unleash the fury...

What is Locker saying -- The Caps need the points after dropping 4 in a row

Brash has a sprained knee?!? I never would have guessed that.

Got a point at least. Ellis has stood on his head while we've missed some open chances.

Ellis stole the Preds a point

brashear has sprained knee just like nylander has an upper body injury and not just a healthy scratch

My guess is brash fell awkwardly when he got caught.

JIMALLCAPS:
I think he was talking about the other team getting 1 point - it does not matter since they are in different conferences.

belax's foot must have hit brash's knee just before he kicked his ass

ShoMo has had a great game tonight

caps.

Agreed. The Caps really peppered Ellis in the third.

Yeah our D have looked physical tonight for the first time in forever.

They need to get pucks ON net, not over or next to it.

Come on Caps. It's 4 on 4. Let's get the 2nd!

after tons of failing comments in an attempt to discuss hockey, wendel has resorted to just being a cookie cutter troll.

nice.

wendel2:
I must admit, that was a good one.

Guess Ellis is trying to earn his spot back.

For everyone saying ShaMo is the greatest 2 on 1 guy ever, remember that he was stripped naked in the Pittsburgh game. I've seen handicapped, retarded pylons react faster than he did.

Agree Boo, but the Caps need a win

FEDOROV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FEDS

feds.

FEDS!!

how pretty?

feeeddddddddddsssssssss!!!!!!!

YES! FEDS!

Yes, the f'ing monkey is dead

FEDOROV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See ya wendel2
See ya Cheef
See ya Puckguru

OMG!!!! They needed that SO bad!!!!!

Hall of famer wins it!

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!

kozl;ov had a great pass there and a great game

SWEET play!!!

Look at that smile! Poor Greenie bit it coming off the bench to celebrate! :-)

Look at the bench clear -- these guys needed that win. Now unleash the Fury in Philthy

Boo, I can't decide which goal I like better -- yours or mine. I think they were both great!

WELL DESERVED. FOUGHT TILL THE END.

What a coaching move to throw him on there with Koz/Semin/Green

Heck of a game, Caps!

Morrisonn, Semin, Laich, Fedorov, Gordon and Theodore were especially strong.

Did I miss anybody?

Love the cute girl talking trash to the Preds fans -- ha!

Now that's what I call a playoff performance! Way to go Caps!!

HUGE WIN...great game we ran into the hot goalie again but found a way!

Holy crap. If the playoffs started tomorrow, we would be playing the Pens. I think this has to be the ultimate sexual fantasy for the NHL, Gary Bettman, and whatever networks are showing the games.

OLD MAN STILL HAS IT!!!

Big win. We should have buried those guys 5-1. We were all over them in the third.

HORROSHO, Sergei, HORROSHO!!!

Finally the stupid streak is over.

kozlov has played very well lately. and he's a UFA at the end of the year, coincidence? he may just get that playoff goal this year.

this was a playoff game tonight and the caps finally played like it was one. good win. glad it didnt go to the shootout...

Heck of a game, Caps!

Morrisonn, Semin, Laich, Fedorov, Gordon and Theodore were especially strong.

Did I miss anybody?

flash, backstrom, erskine.

oh I can see Brash knee folding awkwardly as he felt after that punch.

Greg:
I'd have to agree with you, but I'd take yours since it was the GWG. Besides, I am partial to players who are older than me. ;-)

Woo-hoo!!!! Good job boys!!! Okay, time for me to go jam, and now I can do so in good spirits. As Ron Weber used to say, "It's a 2 point night!!!" Awesome!!!

guys...i'm here in the deep south...couldn't get a "feed", don't know what's going on. Quick recap please??

Who was it that said that Feds had a lazy hooking penalty and was not a good influence on the youngsters? Oh yes, wendel2.

See ya!

Way to come through Theo. See what you did, okay now just keep doing that! :)

MAN I am SPENT after that game. I have to GM GM made the right decision when he picked up FEDs

scmonty1:
Caps won 2-1 in OT - Fed had the GWG (Backs had the other). What else would you like to know? :-)

Nicely played game, they wanted it bad but stayed disciplined. Only gave up one goal which is nice. Nice effort by Erskine on Belak - that guy's going to be tired tomorrow.

and even though it seems ovechkin didnt do much, since his usual is a few goals, he played a solid two-way game.

no complaints today. everyone was giving all they can.

@scmonty1

1:1. In OT, Semin -> Kozlov -> Feds. Done.

I'll drink to that!!! Awesome, Caps. Let's get it together for the Flyers on...Thursday, right? Let's GO Caps!

Loved Greenie's "duck and cover" as he got run over by the entire bench.

FEDS - I flippin love you!
Brooksey is a beast!
Nickie - you're always there for us
Semy - there no words for how awesome you've been.
Greenie - way to play D!

If we play like that every night and not miss some empty nets (Semin, Backstrom, Ovie...although Backie and Ovie got stopped) we look great.

Huge key tonight was being aggressive on the forecheck and our D actually looked PHYSICAL. Not just Erskine or Juice either, Greenie was throwing some hits, Mo played his best game in awhile. I might even be convinced Schultz actually collided with someone.

3 fights? That seems a bit excessive. Matt's "Grammy" is not going to be happy with him. His nose looked terrible. Matt, I told you to stay out of trouble! Guys, feel better.

Maybe I'm just the minimizing here, as I am not as astute of hockey person as others, but why was there such a panic over a four game losing streak?

I mean, Boston had a bad stretch this year, as did Philly and the Pens and just about every other team this year. Carolina has been hot of late, but have sucked WSA at times...

Prior to this game, we had a nine point lead on Carolina and were one point from second overall in the East.

I am glad the losing streak is over, but we aren't talking Armageddon here...

Watching the Nashville postgame show. Its good, CSN DC should take notes!

I think OV changed his sticks just in case they decided to measure them after the whole Sens incident ...

Guys, trolls love to watch the greatest hockey player in the world too ya know. Can ya blame cheef for joining us here?

Nice Feds. Way to stay tough and get the win boys.

Go Cap - I - Tals!!! LOL......cheef

@ Boo=
I saw a post here, and the Wapost had a game recap of penalties and goals...3 fights? you kiddin' me? we're the weakest team in the NHL!! how did they do? guess Brash got whupped. how were the others??

We didn't too bad either with penalties. Yay.

new thread!!!

Bradley got busted up pretty good. Erskine faired well considering he had 3 or 4 punches thrown at him before he realized he was in a fight.

brash got KOd by Balek

bradley got messed up by the Tootoo. lots of blood. stitches.

erskine and Balek threw it down a second time. probably a draw, although Balek jumped the gun.

So it Brash is going to be out for any length of time, who gets the callup from Hershey? Grant McNeill can throw a good punch but I'm thinking he's on a Hershey-only contract.

Won't be a call-up if Nyls can play on Thurs ...

Tootoo says our "defensive game isnt where it should be". Thats telling...

Caps haven't fought a lot this year. That was pretty ugly all around.

The GWG was Semin in the corner on a no look feed to Kozlov who centered to Feds. A beautiful deek of the goalie (ALL his clothes were on the ice) and Feds had an empty net to back hand it into.

Spell it with me, good people: Fed Or Ov. He was in the right place all night.
28 was a hard case everywhere on the ice and made fools numerous defenders. I see something interesting there.
Is Nick Backstrom playing in -exactly- the same time continuum as others? Are you sure?
The fights cost the team and the fine hitting helped a lot. I hope Brashear is okay.
PS Jose Theodore: W

@tess2201
GMGM signs Alan May as Brash's replacement although Fehr will have to surrender the #16 to him.

happy the boys won, dang im happy to! great effort by the whole "team", and the Predators played well, Dan Ellis was on his game... Its gonna be a dog fight @ the Flyers, cant wait till tomm..LETS GO CAPS!!! see you all @ the game Sat.....
