SaucyJack Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Who had the Caps going 1-1 to start their 5-game road trip, but by losing at San Jose yet winning in L.A. ? Glad I didn’t wager… Won’t you get hip…to this timely tip, When the Caps take their Calee-forn-ee-a trip: Don’t make picks, on Route, Sixty-six. P.S. Caps TV caught a good 2-second look at Pat Sajak in the crowd last night. I wasn’t using the phone so didn’t get a frame capture to share. Dang. Well, he looked slightly unkempt…imagine a cross of him and Steve Bannon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaucyJack Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Strange ending to regulation tonight in the Stars-Caps 4-4 deadlock: both teams seemed to risk a loss by trying to score before the OT. Whaah?! You’ve got 1.5 points (on average, you win half of your OTs) in the mathematical bag. Yet you’re risking dropping 1.5 (to zero pts) for the smallish chance that you raise a mere 0.5 ( to two pts). What a stupid gamble! (Especially for an inter-conference contest where point difference means squat between the two squads.) When will it sink in, after 25 or so years of this bush league standings rules, that you’ll likely win the Presidents Trophy by playing 82 draws, all going to the OT/shootout phase? You’d garner 123 standings points, on average (winning half of the OTs.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaucyJack Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 TOPIC 1: Good grief…who knew…that those LA Things were road-undefeated going into last night’s game on The Island? Their 11-0 road record got slightly tarnished in OT last night. But still no zero-point results after 12 road visits. Remarkable!! (King-like, even.) TOPIC 2: Watched the end of Minnesota-OhioState last night. Curiously, I looked up the BigTen standings. Although confusedly organized, I figured out (and as confirmed by announcer commentary) that College Hockey does it Right!!! That is, rewards make sense; standings are the proper “zero sum game”, where all games are ‘equal’ granting 3 points total: 3 for reg win, 2 for OT/SO win, 1 for OT/SO loss, 0 for reg loss. So one big upside to College Hockey is that “following the horse race” is much more fun and interesting, in that a reg winner gains something (1 pt) on an OT winner on any given night…as it should be!!! Just makes the pro game look even more stupid in this regard. And for so frigging long now. Well, idiocy abounds in the world… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icechipper Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Burube out in St. Louis. Too soon for Evanson and Woods to return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Dumb move. Berube was not responsible of the current teams' woes, St-Louis is a bottom-tier team and the Blues was lucky that Binnington kept his BS away and played like a real #1 goalie. Not his fault either if Kyrou, Thomas, Scheen are godawful with the FO thinking that going after players like Kevin Hayes to fill the spots is a great idea... (Meanwhile, DJ Smith and Këkäläïnën are still employed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with his poor play at his cap hit I thought there were teams that would take a chance on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaucyJack Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Guess who broke a drought and scored an OT 4-on-3 PP game-winning goal tonight? He decided to change things up. Still in his office on the left circle, he TWO-timed it, took his time, and wristed ‘er into the netting for the Caps’ second OT win in 2 nights.

SaucyJack Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Christmas Break being over, Metro NYC marked the return of play in what might be called (Very Different) Tales of Three Cities (?!), with all three clubs on home ice: Islanders clobbered 7-0 (vs Pens) Rangers clobbering 5-1 (vs Caps) Devils eke-ing in OT 4-3 (vs Jackets) Quite the varying experiences tonight up in Big Apple Area…hot apples, cold apples, and room temperature apples… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
