The Washington Capitals are in no way, shape or form a team that traps. May they try to squeeze the life out of a game when they're leading late, yes, every team does that but they don't come out and run a trap as a means to win. Again, if you think that they're a primary trapping team like Montreal, then you have no clue!

-You are putting words in my mouth now. I never claimed they are a trapping. Just stated they played the trap vs the pens, which they did.
Just admit you were wrong. Is it that hard to not have a 5 year old mentality?

"It is time to finally admit that Washington is a trapping style team that looks for opportunity off creating turnovers. There aggressive and hectic fore-checking style is leading to more and more chances in front of opposing goalkeepers."

Savard was just shut down for the year because of his second concussion in less than a year. Crosby played with a concussion and then took another hard hit so i'm not sure if that's classified as two concussions or one really bad one, but either way the second hit only made things worse. It wasn't as bad as when booth, savard, or patrice burgeron all got hit, but maybe the two hits on top of each other made it just as severe. I'm sure the pens are just being overly protective with the franchise player.Automatik;669786 wrote:lol as I expected.
I will be very very sad if Sid is gone for the year.
Valid point...i have no idea the difference in severity. But you always hear about football players having to "man up!" and play no matter what. When cutler went out all you heard was other players and former players saying they would've need to be dead not to play, so i think a lot has to do with the mentality of the game.Commander of Awesome;669804 wrote:i dont understand how in baseball/hockey a concussion can equal out all year, yet in football it might not even mean out the next week. Doesn't make sense, makes me think the NFL is wreckless.

Like, you see a few utter blasts in a football game, but in hockey, guys are getting crunched against the glass all the time. It also might have to do with a player's brain's ability to process how to make accurate, pin-point shots and passes on ice. Like to where if a concussed guy still has cobwebs, I could see that hugely effecting his ability to even do routine things on ice. No idea if I'm right, but it just seems that the nature of the game could make concussions have more of an affect on a hockey player's ability to function.
