"I don't know. It is such a hard thing," coach Bruce Boudreau said when asked what Alzner needs to do to become a permanent fixture on his roster. "I want to see him be really consistent. The last time he was up here, it was the consistency. I thought he had three really good games, a mediocre game and a not-so-good game. If he could keep that consistency like the very first time he played when he was up here [Nov. 25 against Buffalo], he would be hard to send down."

We're not going to do anything right now anyway. We like our team, we like the way they've been playing.

So what's the (best) deal on getting some tickets?

Young_guns_tiny by macvechkin on Comment 21 comments

Great to have the Rink Ticket Exchange, but it's looking a little lean for the game I want to go to - Buf 11/25.

Anybody used the Ticket-Raper exchange?  I was hoping to sit in the lower (blue) section, but c'mon - $130 minimum for these?  Aren't these $85 tickets?  I love how we are 'sold out' so ticket brokers can bend us over.  Is this game a red, white or blue?

Until recently I almost always bought my tickets from the Brother Man outside the arena and never paid face.  Does this still go on or is that market dried up?

Thanks in advance!

Say goodbye to the trapezoid?

I'm okay with this only because to me it didn't seem like it was making that much of a difference. But according to that article defensemen are taking too many hits because of times the goalie can't play the puck? Not sure I follow that, and wouldn't that be good for scoring if it were true?

"Boston just introduced the players," Boudreau said. "They didn't show any banners, did they? Their goals are bigger than division championships. I think ours are bigger than division championships. We raised the banner last year. There's no sense in raising it again."

Some interesting propositions

The Caps points total is tied with the Wings for highest on the board.  Not quite the bargain it was last year at 94.

"It's hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them," he said. "I'm a winner. It's not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you're not going to congratulate them. That doesn't make sense to me. I'm a competitor. That's what I do. It doesn't make sense for me to go over and shake somebody's hand."
