Capitals hold players-only meeting

"Capitals hold players-only meeting"

AO speaks to team mates: "Ummm. Thanks for coming, boys. I just want to ask, how soon do you think we can get rid of Adam Oates?"

They don't have any semin.

Group hug and a good cry together ?

A player's only meeting? Must have been an empty room as no one is really playing on that team right now.



<Sorry, Slappy>

The officiating was bizarre last night to say the least. The Pens benefited from some really bad calls and scored a couple power play goals in the second period. The Caps got a weird call when Ovie tried to slew foot Orpik but tripped both of them and the ref called Brooks for tripping. They got their second goal and actually started to play hard for a while.

They were planning an early season golf outing in the Bahamas

Yeah Ovie was allowed to slew foot and leave his feet to run people.
Oh wait that is normal officiating.

"The club will be back in action on Saturday night when they host the Carolina Hurricanes at Verizon Center."

Hmm....my schedule shows Florida visiting the Capitals tomorrow, not Carolina. Or did the Caps open a Bed and Breakfast in the arena and the Hurricanes are just stopping by?

Yeah they let Ovie be Ovie for a lot of stuff, but it wasn't just last night. Officiating has been pretty bizarre since the lock out ended. Even more so than years past. They'll catch some picky little borderline infraction and then ignore a flagrant penalty.

Is it me or does anyone else feel that Alex's game is pretty much boiled down to just sniping from the sideboards....??

They do. Semyon is Russian for Semin. That might explain a few things.

the players only meeting is the last step before the rats jump ship.

Well thanks for clearing it up for me.

Hope this meeting has some impact...they need to start palying real hockey before it's too late....and it is almost too late, already.
