Capitals is so completely out of form it is painful to watch them right now.

After 3-4 mins Nageler was through on goal but instead of shooting he passed the puck...the complete sign of a team with no self confidence. The match today was not as bad as earlier in jaunary, but the result the same.

- No self confidence.
- No luck
- As ive said many times lately; Capitals is the worst team in the league at the moment.

The defence is far away from being the class you should expect. I think specially Casparsson and Kranjc had a horrible match today.

And on top of it all we have a coach who have no skill what so ever to change the outcome of a match.

And playoff is only a few weeks away.

The good news is Cassivi had an ok match and Lebeau seem to be a bit bck to form...maybe? Gratton also had a better match than the last ones.

If Capitals meat Salzburg in the playoff there is 0,5% chance to win the series against them. They are professonal from a to z. Different class to Capitals.

Gegen Salzburg fehlen den Capitals weiterhin Harald Ofner und Christian Dolezal. Ofner hofft in einer Woche wieder mit dem Training beginnen zu können.

Zitat von WAT stadlau4EVER

Norwegen ist stark einzuschätzen- etwa so wie Island, da hats für Sieg Island auch nur 1.25 gegeben.
Haben viel Tradition, waren unser Gegner beim B-WM Finale 1992 in der Stadthalle.
Ich bin einer der die Kirche im Dorf läßt, gegen Norwegen und Kroatien ist es keine Schande zu verlieren.
Am ehesten Chancen auf Punktezuwachs sehe ich am Donnerstag, im russischen Männerhandball läuft in den letzten Jahren so ziemlich alles schief, ich schätze sie nicht stärker als Serbien ein.

Norway had a revolution in the mens handball team from 02-03. Gunnar Pettersen took over as coach and developped the team from mid european standard to being able to beat anyone. There are some class players, specially Kristian Kjelling and Kjetil Strand (mainly offence the last one) are pure quality. Also Ege in goal and Tvedten on the wing is very good players. unfortunately our possibly best defender, Stian Vatne, got injured and left the championships yesterday.

But the main weakness about this norwegian team is the complete lack of ability to handle stress. If things go smooth, great, but once the other team is on a run they can make very silly mistakes and almost give the match away. It will be very interesting tomorrow, I dont think there is any value around in 3,00 for Austria, but maybe a handicap bet on them? Best of luck

Zitat von Elbart

The playing-order of the semifinals has been changed. From 1/8 vs. 4/5 and 2/7 vs. 3/6 to best-ranked vs. worst-ranked and second-best-ranked vs. second-worst-ranked.
So the default semi-sweep is still possible.

IF Caps end up as nr 4...then they can only play RBS if they win the league..and that will not happen. Right God? You promised me that!

Zitat von Coldplayer

ofiskaa: Please stop exagerating. That's nonsense... "worst team in the league" [kopf]

Capitals is the worst team at the moment. Anyone can see that, it is certainlu no exageration. There is no plan in the team what so ever.

1 point on 4 away matches after new years. Apart from a very lucky 2 pointer against Jesenice (the second worst team) it has been a horrible period. There are 2 problems with Gaudet:
- He doesnt understand how to win playoff hockey
- He doesnt know how to change a bad period. He tries the same...again and again and again. When it works...fine. When not...good lord.

On tuesday is a certain defeat against RBS. And another defeat on friday against Graz. Then another defeat in Salzburg. And then 4th place is secure. Good thing is that we will not have to play Salzburg in the semis then

I can just repeat what i said on thursday, right now Capitals is the worst team in EBEL...with the worst coach. Things are not looking good.

Zitat von Darman

Stimmt mein Fehler Bouchard mit dem Anschlusstreffer, seit wann ist Lebeau denn verletzt?

He has been more or less injured the whole season. He was ok in november and december, but rest has been between 20-50%. It is sad to see a good player end his career in this way.

Kranjc ist zuruck fur Capitals

Tickets for Austria-NORWAY are fix!

We will kick your butts

Zitat von Eva

Hiding on an oil platform, wasn't he ?

[winke] Eva

Hehe, possibly...if there were any women there...and booze...he was sure to be there too

Zitat von Elbart

*cough* [winke]

No no, we are worse than you! :]

Another important match and another match where Lebeau is mr. Invisible. Hopeless. Still he wasnt the worst...Sarault is so bad i have no longer words.

I think Capitals might be the worst team in EBEL right now. Very nice a few weeks before the playoffs...im sure Gaudet has a great plan. Worked wonder with the constant changes in the lines today...good lord.

wenn ich mit den punkten nicht komplett falsch liege, wird sich ein neuer legionär gar nicht ausgehen, auch nicht wenn man teppert abmeldet. abwarten ob es die aufregung jetzt überhaupt wert ist.

Christoph Draschkowitz (Vienna Capitals), Lukas Draschkowitz (Vienna Capitals), Rudolf Hummel (Vienna Capitals) sind alle 0 punkte spieler.

Vielleicht auch Schweda?

From Kurier today:
Die Wche der Wahrhei vor dem Transferschluss

First a bit about the hard opposition the next week, then:
"Denn die Wiener uberlegen, einen elften Legioär zu holden"
"Infrag kommen dafür Dolezal...und auch Teppert, der solide Leistungen in diesmen Jahr vorzuweisen hat. Capitals präsiden Platzer bestädigt solch Überlegungen: "Die Ärzte sagen dass es mit Dolezal vor dem Playoff nich gut aussieht". Ausserdem sei es fraglich, wie gut Dolezal spielen kann, wenn er fast ein jahr lang kein Partie bestritten han. Der Markt wird in den nächsten Tagen jedenfalls ordentlich in Bewegung kommen, wenn Vereine, die in ihren Ligen das playoff verpassen, Gehaltskosten sparen wollen".

(GOD, you have so many ,,,,,,,,,,,s in your sentances!)

Zitat von Coldplayer

Nein - gefällt mir nicht unbedingt...

ABER:
a.) Das ist ein Gerücht. Nicht mehr. Hätt ich auch hier posten können... einfach so... siehst eh wie alle abgehen. Einfach mal entspannen.
b.) Viele werden es für naiv halten, aber wir sind nur Fans. Ich spreche dem Management und Herrn Gaudet schon mehr Fachkenntnis zu, als uns Fan-Amateur-Hockey-Experten.

Diese 2 Argumente lassen mich dieses Gerücht dezent ignorieren. No worries at the moment. [kaffee]

a - It is more than a rumour...they also have a story about this in Kurier today. I will write it in here soon.

No smoke without a fire you know

b - we will forgive it all if Capitals are the champions. Semi exit now is a disaster.

What kind of player do you hope this new foreigner will be then? Defender? Center? Or another try to get a scoring forward into the 1st line?

There will be some players available from teams that does not make the playoffs around europe...maybe someone like this:

I still cant believe Teppert is the victim, would be better to get rid of Sarault in my eyes.

Zitat von iceman73

That's why we have the best coach in the world - cynical enough?

Oh dear god

IF this is succesful and the playoffs are won, it will be worth it. IF there is another semifinal exit i think it is a disasterous move. Which austrian player wants to sign up for a team that might kick him out mid season? But if they are the champions..it is all forgotten.

Im the most cynical guy in the world and i would love to see Capitals win..anything...but to release Teppert? No no no...that is wrong Just sad.

In ice hockey, a Gordie Howe hat trick is an unofficial variation on the hat trick, wherein a player scores a goal, records an assist, and gets in a fight all in one game. It is named after Gordie Howe, who is known for both his scoring ability and his fisticuffs.

Other 5 minute penalties is nothing to celebrate

Zitat von tiKi.taKa

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.

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.

Pat lebeau had 3 goals here:

But if it is the last one...im not sure.

Zitat von richienough

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 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.

Zitat von Daniel Saxon

wow i didn´t know that the caps are such beautyful little beasts under their saftey gear! thanks for first handed hints.

Is old women wearing weird hats and skates your thing? Everything is ok these days!

Kurier:
"Ausserdem is Pat Lebeau, vergangene Saison bester spieler, nur nock win schatten seiner selbst. Sein lädierter Ellenbogen schmertz so sehr, dass er kaum noch auf das Tor sheisst und meistens abspielt. Nur bei seinem Alleigang cor dem 3-2 musste er es selbst machen."
