<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.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>I don't think you are going to see this kind of move from the penguins.
A. I don't think they take Blueger. He's not really a long term kind of guy. He gets a 1-2 year deal and at his age that makes him a UFA quickly.
B. if the penguins work out a deal you can bet Blueger is off limits. Tanev or ZAR would go.
I don't know, that contract is gonna be hard to move to seattle. They need a team that needs defensive help to move that contract to. Much like Gudbranson got moved around.
He has to turn it around, problem being this might not be the best situation to do that. Even the current penguins defensemen are struggling at playing the new system so it doesn't surprise me he does to.
They had little practice, no exhibition games etc... to learn it. They got to get better as they go. Hard for Matheson to do that on IR. These are all real issues.
I don't see Seattle doing this. I know we all want it to, but the cost/ reward isn't there. If it was hornqvist it would be a lot easier right now. But it's not. I think this is a bad trade by JR that's going to come back to bite. We'll see. He has to play more.</div></div>

No way they lose Tanev. He's definitely staying
