Looks like caps are swinging this game in their favour though. Probably only a matter of time.

Hope?

Being honest about what Phillips has shown so far isn't being biased.

No team in the NHL was giving him a chance despite him putting up those numbers, should every team in the NHL "give up their pro scouting staff"?

I don't get why there can't be a middle ground.

It was fine. He's had a good game, albeit opoortunistic. Got fortunate on the assist. Absolutely nothing about his projection as a player has been determined by this game though.

Only hickey trade I would be slightly interested in is Nylander because he brings dynamic skill and play driving we desperately need.

But I don't think that's lovely at all and I would much rather just go for futures.

Eww.

[musth]

That was the ####tiest penalty shot attempt I've seen in a long while

[Paulie Walnuts]

Lazy attempt.

[Mass_nerder]

Give me the powerplay.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Coles. Darn it.

[Saqe]

What... was that

[flamingred89]

That sucked.

[skcli]

The lack of talent shows

[KootenayFlamesFan]

So far Backlund has missed a golden chance on the PK and Coleman can't score on a penalty shot.

I mean, you just have to score on those chances. Pretty simple.

[Bonded]

Didn’t expect a goal there

[2ArmBands]

Blake Coleman skill level on full display

[Inferno]

That was a "I don't want to do this" attempt.

[gvitaly]

That's when you wish you could take the PP instead.

[1_Flames_Fan]

Is the rule still anyone on the ice can take the penalty or was that in my imagination?

[KootenayFlamesFan]

I really like that 4th line. Great speed and hustle.

Not sure what sounding a lot like another poster has to do with anything other than you trying to avoid talking about the points I raised that you can't counter.

You brought up the Washington isn't a good team after you tagged my post about Phillips.

I was trying to understand why you were tying the two together and then you went and said you were not talking about Philips.

You are right, Phillip's scoring
a goal has nothing to do with whether Washington has a good team or not.
