Comments on: Slipstream: Jets Strafe Caps 4-2 http://www.russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2013/01/22/slipstream-jets-strafe-caps-4-2/ A cheerfully demented Washington Capitals site with a healthy fixation on Alex Ovechkin and his Russian bros. CRASH THE NET!

Nicky got lucky with that deflection of hendy (who was amazingly at the bakery, coincidence? i think not) and a secondary assist awarded for Ribs making a good(almost star quality) pass to set up TFB on the pp.

Especially when the D in front of him is so atrocious.

Great to hear from you again. Wish you had something better to write about than the Sominex Sequence here. Caps need to re-read the memo re the PK,PP and just about everything else associated with getting their collective butts in gear and putting the bloody puck in the bloody net.

The fans were booing and Hendy knew that something was necessary to breathe some life back into the attending fans.

It is unfortunate that it took two fights to do it, but it was obvious that goal scoring was not going to come easy–especially after Pavelec made some serious robbery stops in the third once some offensive pressure was put on.

With all due respect to Brooksy I don’t think he can be that one. I do believe that Beagle can be a better option for the 1st line. Put Ovi back to the left wing and try Beagle in the 1st line on the right. Or stick to Ovi-Backs-Wolski. They looked pretty good together last night.

This season we finally have 2nd line center but we don’t have enough good wingers to play even in the 1st line. Seems like Johansson
is not ready for this role and honestly I don’t see any other candidate.

Surprisingly we can still score goals but the goaltending is just horrible. :-( Holtby did’t stand the test of being #1 from the very begging of the season. He is nervous, slow and can’t read very simple plays. It was so easy for him at the end of the last season when nobody expect a lot from him. He was relaxed and (as a result I believe) focused at the same time. But now the expectations are so high and seems like he is not up to this task. At least right now. Maybe he is just too young. And maybe Neuvy was actually right that Braden is his weakest competitor.

That was meant to be a Nicky goal from an Ovi assist. He still gets secondary assist.

Hendricks… Ovechkin probably would of been yelling at him if it wasn’t for the goal earlier. He still slammed his stick on the ice…

Just really shows that just because someone tries hard doesn’t mean they are good.
