Im not going to 'reem' you for it because form where you were sitting Im sure it looked legit... but when you watch the replay you might actually be sickened by how blatant of a dive it was. <br /><br />Drury is on all 4s, and Semin sees him, is barely skating... then the second his knee makes contact with drury he JUMPS over drury and falls down.

On MSG, they replayed the shot just so you could hear the sound it made bouncing of Drury's knee. It was pretty wicked. And if we're talking about the penalty where Drury was on the ice in front of the net and the guy fell over him, that was a completely bullshit call. The guy stepped over Drury and took his time...as Dru stood up, the guy took a swan dive.<br /><br />None of that changes the fact that Drury sucks, though.<br /><br />After the game, I was trying to remember if Sean Avery played. I did recall one almost scrum. Also, I remember hearing the name Prust once...and only once. According to the box score, Prust got 5:10 total ice time and Avery got a paltry 10:31. Maybe a little grinding while they were up 5-3 might have changed the outcome of this game. You know, throw the Caps off a little. We'll never know.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475304953684560462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-5360578413225557622010-02-05T12:56:17.795-05:002010-02-05T12:56:17.795-05:00The only Ranger fans begging for Kovy were idiots
...The only Ranger fans begging for Kovy were idiots<br /><br />At least two of those Olli penalties were because the guy had a break if he didn't hack him. I can't recall if it was his fault the guy got loose or not.<br /><br />Drury looked terrible, but you're nitpicking with that slapshot he took. No doubt that hurt. But he's doing the things he supposedly does good horrible now. He is incredibly lazy on backchecking (the Knuble goal was a result of him not sticklifting and just coasting on his hip), whiffs on doorstep shots (put one in the chest and then missed on one that Prospal banged home) and really has been medicore defensively.<br /><br />I don't see a big problem with the fourth being out there vs OV. Boyle's pretty good defensively and so is the rest of that line. It's not like we have some kind of great shutdown line besides them. Having R&R out there... eh. Staal and Girardi would probably be better, but they might have just come off. I don't recall. And Torts is far from the worst coach. Far.<br /><br />-j0ehoefaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-62153827453805198562010-02-05T12:21:52.375-05:002010-02-05T12:21:52.375-05:00chris, how can you say roszival wasn't bad? ...chris, how can you say roszival wasn't bad? he was beaten on three of the capitals goals. yes, there were some nasty moves on them...but he (as an nhl defenseman making 3.5 million) should have stopped at least 1/3, and probably 2/3, of the those goals.drewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169155003164451698.post-16261825422868441412010-02-05T11:26:45.805-05:002010-02-05T11:26:45.805-05:00Enough with the "bandwagon" Caps fans.

Leadership would have instilled some kind of discipline. Leadership would have gotten the guys to play their best for 60 minutes, not 39. <br /><br />As for a flop by Semin, it looked like a cheap, low shot by the captain from where I was sitting. Have not watched the replay that you guys saw so maybe he took a dive. Either way, Drury shouldn't have been in that situation.<br /><br />I just heard about the laser pointer, that is some real classless nonsense. <br /><br />And I have been hit with slapshots, playing defense for several years that will do it. I never fallen down like I was shot, limped around for a few minutes and then mysteriously was 100% two minutes later.

It'll hurt like hell for a few minutes, but you'll bounce back. It's like having an extreme dead arm. Dru actually had a decent game, and gave a good example to the boys on defense (which has always been his strength. A big contract doesn't make a 2 way forward in Gretzky). He got nailed by OV early and came back for more, no flinching, nothing. Also, hell must've frozen over because Rosi didn't suck either. And did Redden hit someone?

As mentioned on PD, I'd have been more upset in relation to Kovy if he had bolted the Rangers for the KHL (because NO ONE can pay him what he wants come July) while we had to watch Callahan/Dubinsky, Stepan, or Kreider light the lamp in Atlanta.<br /><br />To all the fans out there upset, it would not have been a good move for this team at all.
