Style: Mike Green?

In regards to Swede, and St. Louis first-rounder (17th overall), David Rundblad, there have been comparisons to our own Norris Trophy nominated Mike Green, the League’s highest scoring defenseman, 30-goal scorer, and new owner of most consecutive games with a goal by a defenseman. (Let’s forget those pesky playoffs shall we?) When I first heard and saw this during the [...]

Didn’t expect that…

So none of the five guys mentioned were taken by us. But I guess they were on to something with thinking we’d get a Swede.
For the second year in a row, and third time the last four drafts, GMGM and his boys decided on a Swedish centerman. Say hej to Marcus Johansson.

He’s not too big, [...]

Sacré bleu!

That was lame. Whatever.
Anyway.
The draft should start now. I need to know what’s going to happen. Are we going to trade up? Trade the first round pick all together? Who are we going to pick up first?
Well, a lot of kids have been named to go #24 to Les Washington Capitals because after the first few, no one [...]

Russians, please?

With the leavings of Viktor Kozlov and Sergei Fedorov, we’ve lost two Russians. I liked the whole “The Caps have the most Russians on an NHL roster” thing we had going. Now we’re down to just three boys actually on our roster.
While I’m well aware that this may not be the most logical thing ever, [...]

До свидания и удача

Let’s hope that shit’s right. Who knows with these wacky online translating sites.
Anyway, goodbye and good luck to Sergei Fedorov(or how it’s supposed to be pronounced FYOdorov).  While I wasn’t exactly watching hockey in his glory days with the Wings, a beautiful thing called YouTube provided me with some insight on just how phenomonal a [...]

Offseason Sucks.

I need hockey.
Now.
I tried to watch a couple of old Caps games on Hulu, but every game/highlight/whatever I click on says that the video is not available any more. How does that work? Before playoffs started this year, I watched last year’s Caps/Flyers playoff Game 5. Then I try to watch some game after the Caps [...]

Big Leagues or Bust

Bryce Harper.
If you didn’t know his name, you will.  The kid’s been marked as the “Lebron James of baseball” or just The Chosen One.
The 6′3/205 lb, used-to-be high school sophomore catches and plays a little 3B and pitcher too.  It came out a few days ago that he and his family decided that he’d forgo [...]

The Notsomuch Handshake

Well, this nonsense has been beat to death, eh?
To be quite frank, I’m tired about hearing about people from the Penguins organization.  I could give a rat’s ass about anyone in “Steel Town”.  I hate Sidney Crosby, and that’s that. But I’m pretty much going to contradict myself here by talking about the Crosby incident, mainly because I [...]
