-"We're facing a juggernaut," Boudreau said of the meeting against the Canucks. "There's no ifs, ands [or buts] about it. They've got strength right through their lineup and they're going to be a very difficult team to beat. But it's a tremendous challenge for us. It's a great test, and we're looking forward to it.

Not quite. The Caps just aren’t very good.

sandbagger!
Not AS good. And thats just right now. I know they are your boys and all, but that is a pretty talented team.
When the few youngins get a little more experience ( and they are already awesome…who’s the #1 D pair? Two kids right ? Alzner and Carlson are pretty scary already! )
The Canucks might be looking at this as a measurement game themselves after losing 1-0. Looking forward to a fun game to watch.
Hope you are right too!

If I judged them by their talent, they’d easily be one of the top in the league (at least going by their top 4D, 3F and 2G). Honestly, beyond their top 3F their F depth is not very good. There is some promise but it’s not there yet (there being Stanley Cup contender caliber.)
But there’s more to a team than talent. Their systems have been questionable as has their ability to adjust in game, between games, and more. Right now they’re a one line team and that line isn’t producing. Their C depth is AWFUL (Backstrom and a bunch of players that are, at best, 3C), so their second line lives and dies with Semin, who is injured. Even when Semin is healthy, he’s not reliable; he has all the talent in the world, but is maddeningly inconsistent.

Ouch. Sounds worse from the inside than outside. I see highlights most every night, and have noticed more losses this year, but did not know Semin was injured. I knew he was inconsistent. That 1 year deal spoke to that.
You would think he would be enthused being a contract year right? Or is he Kovalev 2.0?

I (and others) have compared him to Kovalev many times before. Though I would not be surprised to see him win a Conn Smythe (this has been said by others on JR, too). I don’t like him being the motor to the second line because you never know if you’re going to get a Ferrari or a horse-drawn carriage sans-horses. And that’s why I don’t think he should be re-signed by the Caps given what he’ll likely command.

I head someone say today that the Caps are trying a new defensive style game and that has cost them in the offense. Have they drastically changed their systems this season?
look at the links section of my post. there is a good article on that there

I wouldn’t say it’s drastic, but they’ve approached a bit more of a trapping style, though not a full on “Fuck Your Excitement” Lemaire style. The result is a transition game that isn’t quite as dangerous. This coupled with the fact that teams have been successfully defending against the Caps’ transition, and just regression to the mean (there were production rates that were unsustainable last year) have really hurt the Caps O.

Last night’s attempt at a phone video of the “Uncle Sid” gig did not work out as planned, but here’s a pic of the bar’s “World’s Largest Jager Bomb Drop” promotion. BTW was relieved to find that the place still features an excellent sound system and the comforting aroma of stale beer and sweat.

Canucks 3-2

I’m wearing my Raymond jersey and the stats are as follows:
Wearing the Raymond jersey = 18-4
Not wearing the Raymond jersey = 18-4
Wearing the Linden jersey = 18-4
Not wearing the Linden jersey = 18-4
I’m not making fun of your stats, honest
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.'
3-1 Nucks

I like playing the Caps. We always seem to shut Ovie down pretty well. Not that it’s been hard for anyone this year
