I made that up. Bob cole yesterday called a white guy PK Subban and today said Subban is easy to spot.

HNIC should get his golden parachute ready before they get sued

He and Kevin Weekes always crack me up.

Not that it will happen but if somehow we did get Ovi we would have to legit 1st lines and after some tweaking our powerplay would be nearly unstoppable.

I think the Caps would probably value Backstrom higher if OV wasn't such a brand name.

Bradyen Holtby .769 save % 6 goals allowed. Luongos value just went up

Cody hodgson also got an assist

Erik cole scored

Wtf am I seeing things max pats was on IR he just got an assist.

Lu & Ballard for Green & Neuvirth.

Add a premier RH offensive d-man to the top unit. Imagine Edler & Green on the ice with Sedin Sedin Kassian/Burrows. Garrison falls back because he's terrible.

You're really ready to turn on him this early?

Not really surprised

His value goes up by the second no matter what.

Yeah, I'd give him at least 20 games or so before even thinking about calling him a bad player/signing. I still think that he'll be better once he gets some chemistry with a D partner. Funny thing is that both he and Edler excelled the most when they were paired with a smooth skating offensive d-man(Campbell and Ehrhoff).

It's really a shame about Cole. He was a great announcer, although a homer like everyone else. Every game they keep him on the air tarnishes his legacy.

He hasn't been as bad.....

Agreed. They've both been suspect defensively, but Edler is also leading the team in scoring.

Garrison is adjusting to a new team. Edler is adjusting to playing his off side—some of those giveaways don't happen if he's on the left.

They will be fine. Bieksa and Hamhuis seem to be finding their game. I don't expect the Edler and Garrison will be far behind

He needs to play the body more. IF you are going to play the puck, making contact with it is essential.

Think about it this way Washington has quite a few large contracts if they need a goalie at a decent price they may have to drop one of their larger contracts to get one. I truly don't see them getting rid of Backstrom.

Lu is starting Monday. I don't really think he is part of any trade plans .

Gillis promised CS he would be #1. He just failed to mention what team it would be on

There's no market for Luongo. I honestly thought the "deals" proposed in this thread by 'Nuck fans were pure sarascam/jokes. I really hope they were.

A lot of people are going to be eating crow soon for saying that.

IMO one small adjustment that I think Edler needs to make in the defensive zone, especially along the boards is to move the puck quickly. He usually just holds it and tries to wait out for forechecker to go off on a change and then he's fine but if the forecheker stays on him then he gets in trouble trying to be too patient and that leads to his giveaways.

Garrison just seemed a little nervous and lost for the first few games, once he adjusts and plays the same way he did in Florida he should be fine.

Hey Washington, why not grab an American goalie? You are the Capital city...

McGuire and co. speculating on Gillis being at the Wash/Pitts game:

•Not likely a casual scouting trip

•Van has two good goalies in play, very complimentary of Luongo's recent play with no negative talk

•Suggesting Wash prospects are a possible option, with Orlov, Kuznetsov and Forsberg mentioned specifically

•Oates under pressure
