Play of the Day -- Washington @ Ottawa -- Okay, Im pissed off. Does Vegas think we are morons? We see "OVECHKIN" on Washington's lineup and we're supposed to wet our pants and think this team should be favoured? On the road no less? Please. It's insulting. Dont be fooled by this idiotic line. Washington has three wins in its past 14 games. New coach Hunter off to great morale start, benching his starter during his return trip to Florida, all his family there and everything. This guy Hunter was a cock when he played, and it seems he still is one as a coach. Ovi struggling like crazy, and the Caps scoring 13 goals in their past 6. Hell, they were down 5-1 to Florida before they got a bunch of 3rd period goals when the Panthers decided to have a cat nap (get the pun?). The Caps are a team in disarray, and now the team is pissed at the coach. Not a good recipe for success. They beat Ottawa last week but need OT to do it in their home barn. The Senators were picked by many to be at or near the bottom of the standings. But this team is showing them wrong. Funny, Anderson is 4-1 against the Caps, going back to his Avs days. Anyways, the Sens are playing solid hockey, and guys like Spezza, Alfie, Michalek and my man Karlsson are lighting the lamp for more than the guys they are playing against (the exception is Backstrom, also on my FL team :) . Throw in a very raucous ScotiaBank fan base in Ottawa (Nepean, actually), and im all over the home dog. Caps shouldnt be favoured over a beer league team right now, and oh yeah, fuck Vegas with their treating us like dummies lol TAKE: OTTAWA
Play of the Day -- Philadelphia @ Buffalo -- I see alot of folks on the Sabres, and Im not really sure why. Buffalo is an average team, at best, their main man Vanek is scoreless in 10, and Miller more concerned with crying to the refs than stopping pucks. Prior to their win against the Preds, Buf had 3 wins in 9 tries, losing to Columbus, NJ and the Isles. Yikes. Statistically, these two team are about the same in GF, GA, PK, PP, so it's kind of a wash. That said, Philly averaging 3.5 goals per game, good for 1st in the NHL. LOVE that Van Reemer back in tonite, and throw in Briere, Read, Giroux, Moves Like Jagr, and Scott Hartnell (what?), they will present the fluffy sabrecats with a ton of challenges. For those that like Overs, you might want to try this one. I'll stick with the road team that is playing better than the host. TAKE: PHILADELPHIA, 6-4
