45.R.: Vienna Capitals-HK Acroni Jesenice

    Zitat von ofiskaa

    A bit OT maybe, but since you are talking about good old days:

    How was Jonathan Zion in Capitals?

    He got signed during a tough time for the caps, fighting for the playoffs. In his first homegame the caps came back after a bad first period and it seemed that they could turn the game, but in the third period Zion unfortunately played the puck in our own goal which was the end of all hopes. It was very bad luck because he chased the puck which I think got off the post and then was deflected by him into the caps goal. I cannot remeber who we played but I can remember how bad I felt for him since everybody in the crowd hated him after that. I liked his technical skills but with this start, there was nothing left to win for him.

    Hehe, thats unlucky...he played in Stavanger Oilers last year and he is most famous for being the biggest supporter of the local pubs and bars...and at one match he had 8 (eight) different girls in the arena on free tickets that he was sleeping with :D He had a problem with his lifestyle, but on the ice he was pretty good. But i guess it is easier to be hidden in a big city like Stavanger compared to Vienna. He was sacked in swedish 2nd level earlier this season and has now signed for Sheffield in England.

    Same forwards online at all 3 goals against yesterday, Rotter-Sarault-Lebeau. Lebeau was also involved in 2 of the goals (one PP) so he was only -2 for the night, but Sarault is now -8 in 7 matches for Capitals (Lebaeu is -1 for the season...Gratton is +15). Im not sure Sarault good enough to play in the line with Gratton. Does he show any progress at all? Or should he play with Kraxner and Selmser in the 3rd line? Maybe D. Rodman could be something to have with Gratton and Lebeau, to get a goalscorer into that line. Rotter-M Rod-Nageler in 2nd line.

    Habe auch nicht verstanden, dass man Rotter, Sarault & Lebeau zusammenstellt. Noch dazu Sarault als Center...

    Sarault gehört in eine Checking-Line. Wenn Werenka und Kranjc wieder da sind, würd ich Bouchard in die Offense stellen.

    Bouchard-Gratton-Lebeau

    Rodman-Rodman-Nageler

    Rotter-Selmser-Kraxner (Sarault)

    Teppert-Ofner-Sarault (Kraxner)

    IF Kranjc, Ofner and Werenka comes back i dont disagree, but i would still like to see a natural born goalscorer in the 1st line. Lebeau was this last season, now he has developed more into a playmaker role. No point to have Rotter in this line, he is just a right verison of Lebeau. D Rod is our best goalscorer, also Nageler has shown good scoring skills (at least early season), but he might not be good enough overall to play with them? I also understand oldswes comment of course, but sometimes you have to make a sacrifce for the best of the team...i cant imagine Sarault in the first time is the best solution.

    Prinzipiell bin ich ja der Meinung, dass Bouchard bis jetzt der Caps-Spieler der Saison ist. Nicht nur, weil er ein wirklich guter Defender mit einem ausgezeichneten Schuss von der blauen Linie ist, sondern weil er bisher auch unverletzt blieb und gerade in der Phase, wo am meisten Verletzte zu beklagen waren als zusätzliche Offensivkraft erneut überzeugen konnte. Trotzdem glaube ich, das er als Verteidiger für uns wertvoller ist, da wir da nicht so zahlreich bestückt sind. Ich glaube nicht, dass Riener und Schweda in den Playoffs Eiszeit bekommen.

    Ich teile ebenfalls die Meinung, dass Sarault das Spiel der Caps bisher nicht verbessern konnte, glaube aber, dass man ihn vor allem als Goone zum Schutz von Lebeau geholt hat, weil Gratton zu wertvoll ist um das auch noch zu machen und Lakos seine Zähne verloren hat :baby: :P ;( . Trotzdem erwarte ich mir mehr von ihm.
