I think Ovi needs to start shooting the puck more. He isn’t even in the top 10 in shots this year so far.

You could, but the folks over at Japer’s Rink would bring out the pitchforks and torches and burn your little internet petition right to the ground. They just love, love, love themselves some Jeff Schultz over there. Seriously, check out the recap and comments from last night’s game – the recap somehow mostly blames Orlov for the first goal (even though Schultz took nothing away from either side of the net) and the comments are positive on his play generally because he’s “invisible”. I shit you not. Then you get a bunch of photoshops bitching about people who bitch about Schultz.
It’s quite baffling.

If Ovi put the energy he expends on his new honey into his team, we’d see mega results.And how many times did Bruce say that if you don’t shoot the puck, you can’t score?

Also, I don’t buy into the “its a new system so it takes time”. Bullshit. This team has been playing together for years and regardless or whatever system they are in there is no excuse for such sloppy passing, lazy defesne and non hustling. Unless, we are just not that good.

Disagree. How did they step up for a rival when they produced their lowest shot output of the year. Sure, they played with more intensity but the Pens missed alot of chances and the score could have easily been 5-1.

[...] The Dale Hunter era hasn’t exactly started with a bang. With Hunter looking for his first NHL win behind the bench and the Penguins’ Sidney Crosby playing Washington for the first time since his Winter Classic concussion heard ’round the world, everybody from TSN to The New York Times descended on the Verizon Center Thursday night. And for the second game in a row the Caps were easily outplayed and doubled up in shots on goal (65 to 36 over the two games) — even if they lost by just one tally. [...]

“The Caps didn’t get blown out by the Pens, so that’s something. No, really.”

This. Anybody that expected different, I don’t know what to say to you. The Pens are firing on all cylinders, and what we saw tonight was the best we’ve seen from the Caps in ages. I don’t think we should take this as Hunter’s systems coming into play or anything like that. It’s the guys stepping up for a rival.

There’s still a rough road ahead. It’s a new coach. Everybody relax and let’s see what we look like as the plants start to bloom a bit.

You are either drunk are retarded. Crosby would take your high school team in his van with his pedostache.

Agree completely on Shultz and Eakin. Im not sold on MP85 either. His skating style (if you can call it that) is a cross between drunken looking and wind buffeted. I know alot fans admire his gusto, but he inspires little to no confidence in me (yet).

Can do without Hamrlik and Ward as well. Can’t think of the last time I was this down on so much of the roster.
