Peverley's Saber Attack

Found April 26, 2012 on Tauntr: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Braden Holtby,  Rich Peverley
TEAMS: Boston Bruins
Washington_capitals_v_59d0



You would think that the defending Stanley Cup champions wouldn't allow a third-string, rookie goalie on a team that has a history of collapsing in the playoffs shut them down, but Caps goalie Braden Holtby did exactly that--neutralizing Boston's offense all series. And when the B's couldn't get the puck in the net, they tried to get in Holtby's head, like when Rich Peverley went to slash him in the 2nd period of last night's game 7. But that failed too as Holtby stared down Peverley like a boss, not moving an inch. How? Well, just like another young up and comer, the force is strong with this one.

  • Baa Ha Ha Ha Ha.... force is strong with this one OMG....watch what the Rangers do to "THIS ONE"... B's lost because they took bad angle shots and too many extra passes, not because of Holtby..the defense blocked more shots than he did...you're going to see just how forgetful the Caps are after the Rangers sweep them out..you're funny though.

The Washington Capitals advance — much to everyone’s surprise

Via isportsweb.com  |  April 27, 2012
How do you spell relief?  D-E-F-E–N-S-E.  The Washington Capitals showed their non-believers that tough-minded defensive hockey, coupled with taking the punishment associated with hanging out in front of the net can and will win hockey games.  And, perhaps they showed that Coach Dale Hunter’s ‘system’ can work not only at the NHL level, but in the Stanley Cup playoffs...

Opponent’s scouting report: Braden Holtby

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  April 28, 2012
As luck would have it, the Rangers drew the Caps in the second round and they were the only team in the Eastern Conference that didn’t get a goalie scouting report prior to the start of the second season.  Luckier still, at the time I was previewing the potential goaltending matchups the Rangers might run into, Braden Holtby was the third option in goal for the Caps, and not even...

Braden Holtby. Braden Holtby? Braden Holtby! The Capitals netminder did everything that he needed to pull of the first-round upset, sending the defending Stanley Cup champions home after a shocking, stunning overtime loss at the TD Garden. Washington prevailed in Game 7, as Joel Ward snuck one past Tim Thomas, sending the Caps through to the next round and making sure Holtby goes...

Nervous about another Game 7? Well, imagine how the players feel. There's always drama heading into the deciding and final game of a series, although hopefully the Bruins can lean on their experience in these situations for finding a way to win. The Capitals, on the other hand, are in mostly uncharted waters, especially their 22-year-old rookie goaltender, Braden Holtby. NESN...

"That's what everyone pays the money for is to have their two cents. It's good. It's not motivation, but it's definitely fun... If someone was...

Some words before Bruins-Caps Game 7

Via The Nosebleeds OLD  |  April 25, 2012
Game 7 is never fun. It's 60 minutes of incomparable stress unless it goes into overtime, then it borders on panic attack. You should erase any visions of an easy or stress-free game from your memory before the puck drops. This is the only series in NHL history where each of the first 6 games were decided by one goal. It's been that close all series. This game will...

Capitals Ready For Round 2

from Tarik El-Bashir of the Washington Post, If there was one word that summed up Washington’s mood it was confidence — something that hasn’t always been the team’s hallmark this season. After eliminating the defending Stanley Cup champions, however, it’s in no short supply these days. “When I got called up, [the confidence] was building,” goalie Braden Holtby said...

Eastern Conference Semifinal Preview: Rangers vs Capitals

Via The Sports Headquarters  |  April 28, 2012
Once again, I picked both of these teams to lose in the opening round.  The Rangers were able to finally finish off the Senators in 7 (I was almost a genius picking the Sens in 7) and the Capitals outlasted the Bruins in 7 games as well.  It’s funny, last year I caught some flak for picking the Bruins to lose every series.  So this year, I pick them to win…and they lose....

Game Seven Open Thread

Tonight is the first of three Game Seven’s in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, as the Bruins are hosting the Capitals in a do or die for both teams. Game time is 7:30 on NBCSN. I’d rather the Bruins win this series. Much rather face Philly than Washington. Braden Holtby scares me. Other local teams in action are the Knicks vs. Clippers at 8pm, Mets vs. Marlins at 7:10pm...

Round 2 Begins

The West was won long before the East was decided.  This is why Nashville (who had been sitting a week) and Phoenix were out of the gate first in round two.  Is it any surprise that the game went to overtime?  If you are playing against Phoenix, better get your cardio and endurance up because 60 minutes are not enough to decide things.  Seeing as the East had to go the distance...
