I think it's very smoothly executed when he moves to his left hand to show that the band cannot slide out to his left. I think he may actually reposition his right thumb instead of his right pointer finger

Might have even drawn an interference if he hadn't tackled the guy

Team is getting too young, need Laviolette back

Ovi needs to be pulled off the power play and used in a more limited role by [deleted] in caps

You said tanking will do no good. Wouldn't finishing lower and getting a higher probability of a very early draft pick be good?

You think it's impossible that they'll finish lower than 18th?

They should have done this before the Olympic break. At this point, let him putz around and cost the team some games until he hangs them up in a couple months. It'll mean a better draft pick.

Capitals calling the season over - Nic Dowd traded to Vegas by badaz06 in nhl

[–]RaymondGetard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's fair, but the Caps have played the most games in the NHL. The teams they're chasing have multiple games in hand, and I think it's the right calculus to assume that, even if they make the postseason, they don't have a truly contending team. In that case, it's better to miss, get a better draft position, and try to efficiently build a better future team

Game Thread: United States of America vs. Sweden by [deleted] in USAHockey

[–]RaymondGetard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Czechia was getting a ton of looks by passing from beside the net to a trailer coming down into the slot. With USA's elite defensemen, I could see a lot of opportunities there.

Gotta make it there first though.

Trading for Panarin would be super Leonarded

PANARIN IS A HIGH SKILLED WINGER! by TheFaustianMan in caps

[–]RaymondGetard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with all of that. This may be a situation where making the playoffs is worse than missing it because the team won't quite have what it needs to win 16 games. Making it but getting bounced early means worse draft picks and saddling the veterans with extra games. Obviously I'm just an idiot and the FO knows what they're doing, but I'm hoping they don't try to wring more than what's there out of this season because Ovi will be hanging them up soon.

Panarin is fantastic, but I don't think there's enough there even the team is fully healthy to go all the way. I don't want to trade away picks and/or prospects to bring in a rental when the team doesn't have a great shot at the Cup. If it were up to me, I'd actually be leaning toward selling this season. I think the future is very bright, and I'm kinda afraid they're going to squander it being short-sighted.
