<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Orlov really has been better lately. Since March 7th he's 2nd to Weegar in EVP by a defensemen,* either side. http://www.nhl.com/stats/skaters?reportType=game&amp;dateFrom=2021-03-07&amp;dateTo=2021-05-03&amp;gameType=2&amp;position=D&amp;filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&amp;sort=evPoints&amp;page=0&amp;pageSize=100

I think he started out the year as a stay-at-home partner for Carlson, and took that role a bit too seriously. Orlov needs to rush the puck to be productive, and once the new coaches figured that out, he's been himself again.

*I know, I know, there are four other guys with 16 EVP, but Orlov has more goals and fewer games played. Sorry, Letang, Theodore, Fox, and Chychrun.



I think Hags to get Vanecek is a very MacLellan type of deal. I'm not sure whether Seattle is the best fit for it. There's probably a team that knows it needs the help in net and on PK. I agree Oshie is a natural choice for Seattle.</div></div>

If only Hags had his little scoring touch still. It wouldn't surprise me if Hags went to Seattle but I don't know

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>lol Panik is one of our best 2 way players ...i assume you only pay attention to box score..... and Washington playing terrible is stilll in a better position to make the playoffs than Pittsburgh atm... lol. Penguins defense is also terrible goalie is questionable and Malkin looks like hes lost. this team goes nowhere if Malkin succks.....</div></div>

Look bud. You've played Buffalo 5 times and have won 4 times. You guys look awful vs the Pens. We will see after tonight. If your gonna say our defense is terrible than yours is absolutely awful. Your defense is worse than outs by far. I'd take Jarry everyday of the week over Vitak Vanecek and Ilya Samonov. Malkin has more points than Kuznetsov, if you wanna keep going with that. The Pens have skated circles around this team. I've watched a lot of Caps games and they don't impress me at all. Sorry not sorry bud. Also your saying Richard Panik is one of your best 2 ways forwards???? 2-4-6 and a -5 isn't a good stat line for a two way player. It's like saying Carl Hagelin is your best bottom 6 scoring threat.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>dump and chase doesn't really work well anymore though. You are like 3x as likely to retain possession carrying the puck in the zone. A. defensemen are faster and B. goalies handle the puck better. It really is a dying strategy unless you got a whole lot of speed to get the puck and the other team is slow. I don't even like the idea of dumping it in to change anymore. Its just bad puck management that keeps you pinned in your own zone.
They have to get faster. Just my take from watching like 5-6 of their games.

when did the penguins get 3 prospects :tearsofjoy
we got 2 at best. If they had any will to go all in they would have played Poulin.



no trust me, this is not a good strategy. Sheary is a mop, he can't stay on his feet, he's always face down on the ice and will not fight for the puck on the boards. Schultz can't defend. I'm sorry, I've seen enough of it to know.
Sprong never.....developed? is there a better word there?
Hags just lost his legs. It's just bad strategy. They should have known better, they played them! Like you took the weakest points of their old team.</div></div>

Exactly

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Did you just say the Caps shouldn't re-sign Ovechkin because you think he isn't as good as Crosby? By that standard, half of the teams in the NHL should not employ anybody, and should just give up playing.

Ovechkin is a superstar. The Caps should keep negotiating with him and try to work with him and his agent to draw up the kind of contract that lets them keep building a contending team around him, so they can keep winning championships together.



Vegas made the finals with, like, six Pittsburgh cast-offs? Doesn't seem like such a bad strategy, after that.</div></div>

Vegas had six Pens cast-offs and they were guys who got traded. Neal was traded. engellend left via FA, Perron was traded for Hagelin. Fleury was exposed. Reaves wasd traded. Wouldn't really call them cast offs.
