JEFF SCHULTZ RUMORS & GOSSIP
Offseason Evaluation: Jeff Schultz
As the 2011-12 season has come to a close, the time has come to evaluate what it meant for the Capitals, both as a team and as individuals. As such, as the summer progresses, I will be writing a report card, or individual evaluation, for each player who played in 9 (~10%) of the team's games, or 4 playoff games. Next up is defenseman Jeff Schultz, who finished his seventh...

Recruiting Reform
Yesterday, Jeff Schultz posted an AJC article outlining needed recruiting reforms.
• 1.) A coach can’t sign more players than he has slots available. If a committed player then fails to qualify academically, gets arrested or the like, that’s on the coach. Go sign somebody else. Every coach would be on equal ground.
• 2.) Scholarships are guaranteed for four or five years...

Atlanta Spirit Pretends To Care About Your Thoughts In New Survey
Doomed from the start.
These "fan pulse studies" were sent out to Thrashers fans and season ticket holders, so it's no surprise that fans of the Atlanta Hawks got them. What is surprising, as pointed out by my good bud Everett Duke, is that they asked about the relocation of the Thrashers. This is impressive. Like Jeff Schultz noticed, they changed their employee...

Benching Discourages Schultz
Washington Capitals Defenseman Jeff Schultz can tell it’s only a matter of time. The writings on the wall are becoming more and more clear to him. All Schultz can do is wait for the phone call telling him he has been traded or moved down to the AHL.
As the Capitals take the ice tonight against bitter rival Pittsburgh Penguins, Schultz will be in his 12 healthy scratch in the...

Schultz Discouraged With Benching
from Chuck Gormley of CSNWashington, Capitals defenseman Jeff Schultz sees the writing on the wall. Now he’s just waiting for the phone call informing him he’s been traded or sent to the AHL Hershey Bears.
Schultz will be a healthy scratch for the 12th time in 14 games tonight. That, and Tuesday’s callup of Bears defenseman Tomas Kundratek, has him wondering how...

Trade Rumor: Chicago Blackhawks may be looking at Washington Capitals’ Jeff Schultz
It’s no secret the Chicago Blackhawks have lost a few games based on defensive lapses.
Meanwhile guys like Corey Crawford and Ray Emery have taken heat. Not by coach Joel Quenneville, but by fans.
There’s only so much a goalie can do, but Chicago GM Stan Bowman can do a bit more. Such as, bulking up the blueline.
It’s rumored that the Blackhawks may be looking...

Large and In Charge
Ever since John Erskine had his breakout performance last season, a debate has been going on between Capitals bloggers, fans, and media: when the lineup is fully intact among defensemen, does Erskine or Jeff Schultz deserve to get the call on a nightly basis? Under Bruce Boudreau, the answer was almost always Schultz. Boudreau had seen what Schultz could do every night when he...

Dale Hunter’s First Two Games as Washington Capitals Head Coach
All eyes were on the ice when the Washington Capitals squared off against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, November 30th. It was their first game under new head coach Dale Hunter. Hunter had just been named as the replacement for Bruce Boudreau; a man who had reached 200 career wins as a head coach faster than anyone else in history, the day before — not much time to make...

Jeff Schultz’s Solution for Georgia: Martin Seligman*
If you’ve read this blog for any period of time, you know that I hate explanations grounded in pop psychology. They are the refuge of the lazy. They are a substitute for thinking and analyzing data. Did Team A break a losing streak to Team B? If yes, then it’s because they wanted it more and they spent all offseason thinking about it. If no, then...

3-18: talent vs. emotion
Michael Elkon and I have swapped a couple of e-mails about this Jeff Schultz post on Georgia’s recent history at the Cocktail Party. While I think it’s foolish to deny the role that Georgia’s fragile mental state has played in the futility – as Schultz notes, nine interceptions in the last three games says something about that – I do wonder if he overstates...
