Brashear
The big goon is getting dressed tonight. One of the biggest dirt bags in hockey, good thing Orr is out there.
just curious, why do you think he is one of the biggest dirt bags in hockey? he unfortunately has the role of the “enforcer” on his team, and that’s what he does. has he done things out of line with the “code?”
i think someone like bertuzzi is a much bigger dirt bag in the history of hockey.
Washington Post
says Brashear dressed & took part in warmup, but doesn’t look like he’ll be in the game:
As you’ve probably seen by now, rookie goalie Simeon Varlamov came onto the ice first for warm-ups, which means he’ll make his second straight start for the Caps. Henrik Lundqvist, of course, will start for the Rangers, who are looking to take a 3-0 lead in this Eastern Conference quarterfinal series.
Based on warmups, the rest of the Caps’ lineup should look like this:
Forwards
Ovechkin-Backstrom-Kozlov
Laich-Fedorov-Semin’
Fleischmann-Nylander-Fehr
Steckel-Gordon-Bradley
Brashear took the warm-up, but did not do any line rushes.
Defensemen
Morrisonn-Green
Poti-Jurcina
Erskine-Pothier

maybe one of the biggest is a bit much. but he’s a pos. like when sucker punched aaron ward after shanahan fought him a few years ago.

THere's gonna be a ton of scraps today.
I don;t like cheap shots, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Caps take a few cheap shots today, probably at Avery.
I doubt that Colton Orr stays out of the penalty box today……
Hi guys. If the Rangers get ahead early, its gonna get ugly
Joe (Ranger Reporter) is at the game, he got there at 5:45 and said the fans outside were already going bezerk

me too, I still have this wild fantasy that somehow the Rangers play the Canes in the East Finals and I make the drive up there.
Is the game on MSG as well? I’m not getting it on the package, only Vs.

probably my favorite ranger when he was on the team
has there been a sighting? or is he a good luck charm?
they showed a highlight on Vs of when Esa Tikkanen blew a kiss at Keith Jones of the Caps. Jones is in the Vs studio

RR says no towels handed out at the game tonight, they gave out Thundersticks, I guess MSG is expecting a Japanese baseball game to break out

How
did that not go in?
MHH: Like the Avs organization, we’ve now officially lost our minds.
I'm The Canary - but I'm not cute nor cuddly, and I don't sing.
And the Caps
come back and make it 2-0

Right now
I would say the Rangers….but that’s only because theirs is on the ice. The Avs are on the golf course….

Every shot we take from the point increases Varlamov’s confidence. It’s not like we got Chara back there, get the puck to the forwards and crash the rookie netminder
ugly ugly first period, came out aggressive, and then let the Caps take it to them

What the fuck?
Someone explain to me how it’s not a penalty when Ovechkin whacks Rozsival in the face with his stick and cuts him open?
key word: Ovechkin

Why are the Rangers talking all these penalties? Didn’t they get the memo on how good the Caps’ PP is?
They’ve forgotten how they won Game 2
