A - let us wait for playoffs. No point to have the same players if Capitals lose in the quarters this year.
B - The squad is already too old. Tropper and Sarault i can not imagine getting new contracts. But i would also guess Lebeau hangs up his boots after the season with all the injuries. He is too intelligent to destroy his body on this. Im not sure about Selmser either. Some changes are always good in a squad. And more 1-2-3point players from Austria please...
Playoffs or no playoffs. Doesn't matter at all...
Bjornilie is a big signing and would be brilliant. That's good news.
What's your source?
i totally agree, Bjornlie is a key player and was very good in last years playoffs, so i am not worried about his performance.
I read it on the capitals forum, it might be a joke for all i know, but it didnt seem that way.
Dan Bjornlie is rumoured to have signed for another season in Wien.
I hope most of the players will be judged after the playoffs, not before. So far so good, but only 50% of the season is done...The hard part starts now, and this is the time to stand up and be counted. Not to get a new contract. (Im not saying it is wrong to give Bjornlie a contract, but let us focus un the ice now and on the papers later.)
I don't get it? Why do people always leave early? That's hockey - you should have known better...
A - i know that...but there was no sign of anything happen in this match.
B - I had to get to work
But i learned. The hard way.
I cant believe this. I left when AV scored the 5-2 goal....why oh why? Only checked final score on ORF on the mobile...and wake up to big fighting news in Kurier! Frustrating.
Sarault will be used as a defender for the rest of the season (Kurier).
Maybe:
Bouchard - Casparsson
Bjornlie - Lakos
Sarault - Kranjc
Riener
Bootland - Gratton - D. Rodman
Lebeau - Lemieux - Nageler
Kraxner - Selmser - Rotter
And Ofner+M. Rodman to return from injuries + Drasko*2...It looks ok at least. (Lakos is banned tonight, very clever to give him the suspension before the playoffs!)
All the best to Teppert and good luck! Hope you are back in Caps next season
5 defenders + Riener. And how many forwards?
Very weird for me...very weird.
Werenka will be missed a lot. Great person to have on the ice Legend.
I almost fell in love with Bootland last year...what a player. Would love to see him for Caps!
Die Entscheidende Frage ist: Was passiert mit Sarault? Wenn wirklich noch ein zweiter Legio kommt, sollte der wieder abgemeldet werden, oder?
I think M Rodman or Werenka might be abgemeldet. No point to release Sarault...he is after all fit
I might not agree with what Caps are doing here, but that is not Lemieuxs fault. I say: welcome to Capitals!
From stats he looks allright, but most interesting is that he is a center...is M Rodman more injured than first thought? I dont think this guy will play 4th line center...
"Zumindest einen neuen spieler werden die Caps mit sicherheit verplichten. Wunschkandidat Fortier bekam bisher keine fregabe von Hamburg. "bei allen anderen freien spieleren mussen wir uns die fragen stellen, warum sie keinen klub haben" sagt Kalla. Die etschiedung, wie viele und welche spieler abgemelet werden, fällt am Montag."
Maybe they should have asked that question about Sarault too...?
Werenka out for 3-4 weeks, while according to Kurier M. Rodman will be fit again for the playoffs.
no werenka or m. rodman for Caps tonight.
boa sick
It is fascinating how the commentators are more concerned about the number of penaltyminutes than the injured player. Even when they see it in slow motion they sometimes dont seem to get their priority right.

Unless i misunderstood completely in kurier that bootland was offered to caps. It didnt say caps wanted him...

I really liked Bootland in the playoffs last year....
letztes jahr war auch 4 on 4 - frage an die statistiker: fallen bei 4 on 4 schneller oder prozentuell mehr tore als bei 5 on 5?
4 on 4 gives much more goals. And is ok in the sudden in the league matches...but a disaster in the playoffs. Why use 4 on 4?

Looks like it will be a forward...that can score some goals maybe

Home wins vs away wins for top 8:
Graz: 78% - 58%
RBS: 75% - 52%
Linz: 65% - 50%
Caps: 75% - 47%
VSV: 70% - 34%
Zagreb: 54% - 39%
Alba Volan: 69% - 34%
KAC: 62% - 26%
Last years playoffs:
Final: 5/7 home wins
Semis: 5/9 home wins
Quarters: 19/24 home wins
Total: 29/40 home win.
Kein Heimevorteil Gaudet? I hope this was just something that was said without really thinking about it...Specially Capitals who is the only team among top4 with under 50% away wins should be really worried about finishing 4th.
these are defenitely good news you mention. We (VSV) really hope to get this lousy Vienna in play off! We are searching hard for an appropriate team, but now it looks like we found them. Our guys are pretty fit! You remember last match...If you play a 2,5 lineup most of the season at least in January you get a burnout what's happening just now. Have you ever heard "Jännerloch"? Innsbruck had the same desease and just watch where they finished.
Yeah, of course it is easy to pick Capitals as the team to wish from top4, that goes without saying. Bad form and with the physical style VSV play you can easily take out Gratton or M. Rodman...and Capitals is like a dead fish in the water.
However I still think Capitals will beat VSV, Alba Vola or Zagreb in a quarter finals. KAC will be harder.
Yeah yeah.
Did you see the big fight in the stands in westkurve? What was that? Lots of police and security had to keep the fans away...
YESSS ONE POST WITHOUT A "DIRECT" LEBEAU FLAME
FROM OFISKAA
hehe He was alright today. There is of course also a reason why he is moved away from the 1st line.
Sarault was good for the first 30 mins...they he disappeared. But that is 30 mins than earlier at least
