Really worried about the Rangers, now... too many stupid distractions and Ovechkin is obviously so much more confident now (no A-Rod syndrome)...

Game 6 is a must... Henry is generally $$$ at the Garden and he needs to win it for us...

Yeah, I'd like to thank Daniel Carcillo for beginning the 5-goal swing. There's a goon who fits in well on that team. Also nice to see Crosby putting the nail in the coffin for the Philly fans with the EN.

4/26/2009 2:41:53 PM

Avery would have been drawn and quartered at center ice if he did that... no penalty even...

4/26/2009 2:42:07 PM

This is fucking bullshit. And what the fuck was with Naslund refusing to score???

"That was the revelation from Jim Schoenfeld, that Capitals defenseman Shane Morrisonn bit Brandon Dubinsky at 15:03 of the second period. Both received two minutes for roughing but Dubinsky also got two minutes for boarding Mike Green and a 10-minute misconduct. Before being escorted off the ice, Dubinsky was skating around trying to get the referees to look at his arm, where, presumably, he had a bite mark. Schoenfeld said Dubinsky required a tetanus shot after the game as a result."

Letter from Glen Sather to Gary Bettman:

Quote :

"Subject: Washington vs. New York, Game 5 Dear Gary: In addition to your suspension of Coach Tortorella for his actions during last night’s game, we respectfully request that you consider appropriate discipline in light of Washington’s gross negligence in ensuring the safety of the personnel on the Rangers’ bench, including Coach Tortorella, in the face of the Rangers’ repeated requests for intervention against egregious fan misconduct during Game 5. As importantly, we would like the League’s intervention to ensure that there are adequate security measures in place to protect our personnel in the event there is a Game 7 in Washington. Neither the NHL nor either team has had the opportunity to conduct a full investigation or to interview all witnesses but the television coverage and the statements made by Rangers bench personnel make clear that Washington utterly failed in its security obligations to the Rangers, not to mention its own fans. The tension was evident from before the opening face-off. Throughout the game, several people seated immediately behind the visitors’ bench took advantage of the looseness of the glass panels and the unusually wide gaps between the panels to assault the Rangers with some of the most obscene language imaginable. Because of the way the glass is installed, the patron sitting behind Coach Tortorella (the gray-haired, bearded man in the white T-Shirt) could literally scream into the coach’s ear. According to Rangers trainer Jim Ramsay, one patron was screaming at the team, in graphic language, about whether Dan Girardi and Marc Staal have a sexual relationship. This was within earshot of several children seated nearby. Several other fans also made repeated homophobic remarks. Moreover, Mr. Ramsay reported that he and other bench personnel were spit on by one or more “fans” as they yelled through the gaps in the glass. Your statement tonight referred to alerting security. In the first period, Mr. Ramsay warned the security guard stationed on the nearest stairwell (a large African-American man) that the situation was unacceptable and was likely to get ugly. No action was taken. The misconduct continued. In the second period, Mr. Ramsay warned a female security supervisor that some fans were out of control and that he was concerned that something unfortunate was going to happen. Although this supervisor was equipped with a radio, she apparently took no action, because the same fans were in their seats when the team returned to the bench for the third period. According to press accounts, no fans were ever ejected or permanently removed from their seats. Washington’s failure to respond to what its personnel knew — and were specifically warned — was a potentially dangerous situation contributed significantly to this unfortunate incident. Accordingly, we respectfully request that you consider imposing appropriate discipline on Washington for its knowing failure to protect the Rangers and prevent the situation from deteriorating into an incident that reflects badly on all of us. In addition, we must immediately discuss how Washington is going to handle security for any Game 7. Neither the Rangers nor the well-behaved Capitals fans should be forced to endure the extraordinary level of fan misconduct that Washington failed to prevent in Game 5. Thank you for your consideration. Glen"

I don't know what's been going on with the Rangers the past 2 games, this series should have been over by now.

4/27/2009 10:22:50 AM

Same thing that's been going on all year.

The Rangers can't score.

4/27/2009 11:22:21 AM

Brashear is suspended for 6 games! Serves his ass right since he broke Betts' orbital bone on a cheap shot.

How many President's Cup winners have gotten ousted in the first round?

4/28/2009 10:49:02 AM

90-91 Blackhawks
99-00 Blues
05-06 Red Wings
08-09 Sharks

Before 1985, the regular season champion got the Prince of Wales Trophy, but I'll have to dig through to see how many of those winners lost in the first round of the playoffs.

4/28/2009 1:11:35 PM

I'll be at Caps game 7 tonight.

After the Caps win, I'll be celebrating in a civilized manner.

leonsis is the best owner in the league by a wide margin

4/29/2009 10:17:46 AM

Definitely, the man knows what he's doing. And the marketing is about to start getting copiers around the NHL. Groundbreaking shit that man has been doing.

Well, how slick was it for him to draft Varlamov in 2006, and pay him to play for the Bears - he had a pretty high stock in the Russian super league. And in terms of marketing, it's hard to explain. You'd have to go to a game this season, or last season. You have fun at Caps games even when they lose. I'm not talking just Jersey sales and cheesy commercials.

haha, where's that faggot ass bitch PackHockey12 who was talking so much shit to me earlier?

4/29/2009 11:46:53 AM

Yes, definitely a slick move to draft a player and then have them spend some time in the minor leagues. It's certainly not like NEARLY EVERY SINGLE OTHER PLAYER EVER DRAFTED does that.

Leonsis is pretty cool though. I like his blog.

4/29/2009 11:48:58 AM

I meant Varlamov specifically - he was 17 - and he just saved the caps and carried the team to the second round

No need to get all sarcastic and shit - everyone knows Leonsis is the shit
