Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted November 7, 2008 Anybody watching the Caps these days? I've caught 2 of their games and he looked really good. Skating well, his release is just ridiculous. He seems healthy. Yes, he missed a couple of games for personal reasons but what's up? Just 2 goals this year? Opinions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mindfly Report post Posted November 7, 2008 He gets awesome with confidence in him, right now i dont think he has that much, and he had a grandfather that's been really close to death what i've heard so maybe he has been emotional and thought of him much, maybe they are really close i wouldnt know that.

Wings_Fan_In_Exile 3 Report post Posted November 7, 2008 I was wondering that too. Maybe that ailing/dying grandfather or whatever had him upset and distracted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted November 7, 2008 Not really much to explain it, just a bit of a slump. Everyone goes through it, he just happens to be going through it for the first part of the season, so it's more visible. It's funny though, Semin has looked good, but to me, Ovechkin has looked better so far this year. If you looked at the stats though, it isn't even close. Then again, I've only seen 3-4 Caps games so far this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted November 7, 2008 Crosby is starting pretty slow, 2 goals in 13 games... Crosby scored last night, so he's up to 3 goals, but he also has 13 assists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny Law 15 Report post Posted November 7, 2008 He is switching sticks from CCM to Bauer, which to me says he's in one of those mental slumps, starts to think to much about it and things stop coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
