To sa neboj, nie... viem, ze teraz na mna reagujes z dovodu, ze som o nom nieco napisal, ale stale je to o tom, ze si tam hraci mozu robit aj Labutie jazero, hold v najazdoch su brankari dost znevyhodneni.. co ja osobne moc nemusim. Asi ako 11-ky vo futbale...

Ale to slovo SICK ma viac iritovalo...

slovo sick, akože perfektný pohyb. Jasné, že exhibicionistický a v reálnom zápase nepoužiteľný (aj keď .... ) a áno, aj Jurčo má skvelé ruky a dal aparádne nájazdy. Nič viac som nemyslel

Čaute, som fanúšik Caps, ktorý narazil na túto stránku a všimol som si, že je to tu celkom aktívne, tak som sa registroval.

Tiež súhlasím s tým, čo napísal Jake o Ovim a LW/RW situácii, keď bude hrať OV RW, tak nie je miesto na posun Wilsona. Preto:

OV - Backstrom - Ward
Kuznetsov - Mojo - Brouwer
Chimera - Laich - Wilson
Fehr - Latta - Brown


Pre Burakovskeho bude lepšie hrať top 6 minúty + PP v Hershey než 4. lajnu u Caps.(V prípade zranení ho samozrejme kedykoľvek môžu povolať.)

MoJo mi prišiel minulú sezónu na krídle v lajne Mojo-Backstrom-OV stratený a jeho hra podĽa mňa sadne na C lepšie ako W.

Alebo pokiaľ nechceme rozbíjať Chimera - x - Ward, tak:

OV - Backstrom - Brouwer
Kuznetsov - Mojo - Wilson
Chimera - Laich - Ward
Fehr - Latta - Brown

Problém je v tom, že bez poriadneho C to môžem poskadať ako chcem, ale tá 2. lajna je proste aspoň na papieri slabšia než by mala byť.

Obranu vidím vzhľadom na to, že som čítal, že by chceli hrať Orpik - Carlson ako shutdown pár asi takto:

Orpik-Carlson
Orlov-Green
Alzner-Niskanen

Ak nepríde do začiatku sezóny zmena...nemyslím si, že u tejto 6tky bude platit niečo také, ako 1. pár, 2. pár...Ice time bude rozložený dosť vyrovnane a budú využívaní v rôznych situáciach podĽa toho, ako sa to bude hodiť. Dobré je, že každý z týchto troch párov je podľa mňa lepší než bežný "3.pár" v NHL.

Každopádne je táto obrana určite lepšia ako čokoľvek, čo Caps mali posledných pár sezón.

Na nhl.com teraz postli kratší rozhovor s Trotzom, oplatí sa prečítať.

Pokiaľ nepíšeš posty v rozmedzí niekoľkých dní, tak používaj tlačidlo EDIT (vedľa svojho mena)

EDIT: Tak Trotz povedal v posledných dňoch veľmi zaujímavé veci, čo sa týka zloženia elitných formácii.

1) Tom Wilson začne v top9 a je na ňom či sa prepracuje vyššie (teda už nebude v 4. formácii)
2) Burakowsky má veľku šancu prepracovať sa do Ačka už tento rok.
3) Johansson by sa mal vrátiť na center, pravdepodobne tretej formácie
4) Elitnú line doplní buď Brouwer alebo Laich

Toto sú dve najpravdepodobnejšie alternatívy podľa csnwashington.com

Brooks Laich – Nicklas Backstrom – Alex Ovechkin
Andre Burakovsky – Evgeny Kuznetsov – Troy Brouwer
Jason Chimera – Marcus Johansson – Tom Wilson
Aaron Volpatti/Eric Fehr – Michael Latta/Jay Beagle - Joel Ward

Alex Ovechkin – Nicklas Backstrom – Troy Brouwer

Former Predator Alexander Radulov on Capitals coach Barry Trotz: "I told Ovechkin that I became a hockey player under Trotz. When I came to Nashville he helped me a lot. Bad coaches don’t work at the same club for 15 years. The coach trusted me, called me up from the minors and I learned a lot. I have only the best memories of Trotz. This is a new challenge for him in Washington. Life changed, he had to go. But he has a lot of ideas that he will be able to realize in Washington”.

// tie slová sú o to silnejšie, že Radulov mal na záver NHL kariery konflikt s Trotzom a odišiel z ligy preč. Pekne, že sa cez to preniesol

Pár zaujímavých informácii z nejakého Q/A s Trotzom a ostatnými trénermi:

Notes from VIP Barry Trotz and Assistants Meet and Greet/Chalk Talk last night attended by myself:

OV wing spot will be determined in pre-season. Will start at RW, but Trotz foresees a move to LW due to how the off-season went.

OV biggest improvement needed is moving his feet. Too much standing around last season (as has been said in the media).

Says his systems will focus on speed. Getting up fast and getting back fast.

All four coaches will be on the bench, which he says is a trend to look for in the NHL this season. In the past only a few teams may have had four guys on the bench, he thinks this season closer to a third of the teams will have four guys on the bench. Lane for Forward coaching, Todd for Defense coaching. Barry will handle the lines and assignments. Blaine will focus on any adjustments that need to be made and what the other team is doing.

Biggest disappointment since joining the Caps was the injury to Wilson. He was absolutely glowing when talking about Wilson. Says he definitely needs to play in top 9, but may get a slow start due to the injury. Mentioned his leadership and maturity, stating he had heard and confirmed that Wilson could very well be a future captain in the NHL.

Biggest good surprise was Mike Green. Had heard he was a quiet guy, but happily surprised with how vocal and in communication he has been. He has asked many questions and they have held multiple long conversations over phone, some of which Green initiated.

Mike Green and other offensively gifted Caps D will be given the green (no pun intended) light to jump up in the play more often. Says he was astounded at how little offense over the past couple of seasons was originated from the back-end. He said Green was very pleasantly surprised that Trotz would want him jumping up more. Mentioned less stressful minutes due to additions of Orpik and Niskanen should help him as well, but does need to get better around his own net.

He said he doesn't care a lot about Fancy Stats, but they can shed a light on things you hadn't noticed. He said no mater what the fancy stats say, at the end of a game he is going to have Backstrom on the ice, because he knows what he can do and he has seen it.

Does not foresee using a checking line role and says more and more NHL teams do not employ one.

PowerPlay will stay the same obviously, but hopes adding Todd Reirden to the staff will help fine tune it.

Lane Lambert will run the PK and work with the forward groups and says to expect a more aggressive penalty kill and he will focus on denying clean zone entries.

2nd Line center will be one of Kuznetsov, Johansson, Burakovsky, or Laich. Very excited about how well Burakovsky played in that role in the Dev Camp. If one of the younger guys does not grab the role then Laich can be a fall back. Blaine Forsythe will work with Centers, and PP. Has been working with Kuz this summer.

Expects Mitch Korn to get his own sitcom after 24/7. Said he is very funny and odd. Mitch is the best goalie coach in the world, used Carter Hutton, Tomas Vokoun, Chris Mason, Dan Ellis, and Pekka Rinne as evidence of Mitch's abilities.

Does not like playing young guys and rookies on the fourth line. Says he wants more established guys with families and kids on the 4th.

I think that's all.

edit: Oh yeah. Coaches have been in town recently together planning everything. Training camp groupings and schedule to when each player will be in which preseason games have already been planned. Says you must plan these things now, because injuries and good and bad play will necessitate changes to these plans. (Said he has Wilson in 3 preseason games with a bit of a smile)

On a side note, he said he loved coaching Matt Hendricks. Every team needs guys like him, but the fancy stats guys in Nashville said they needed to move him because his play was not good.

Tu je rozhovor s Cakovskym: http://www.monumentalnetwork.com/videos/rinkside--michal-cajkovsky-8-27-14
Kedze je to videorozhovor tak si to neviem prelozit, pls co tam vravi bude pozvany teraz do rookie campu alebo do hlavneho campu? dik

Reakcia na: Dano, 28.08.2014 - 12:23:37
Na konci hovoril o tom, že do rookie campu alebo do hlavného campu, podľa toho rozhovoru nie je jasné do ktorého.
Minulú sezónu však bol v hlavnom a odohral aj pár prípravných zápasov, urobil dobrý dojem... preto si myslím, že ho pozvú aj túto.

S Caps nemá vôbec podpísanú zmlúvu... u neho to je buď Hershey (AHL) alebo Reading (ECHL).

To, kde bude hrať si netrúfnem povedať, lebo Hershey má tak ako Caps nového trénera a s podpismi Niskanena a Orpika majú viac obrancov a napr hráčov ako Carrick alebo Oleksy, ktorí časť minulej sezóny odohrali (alebo sedelí ako 7. obranca) za Caps to teraz vytlačí do AHL.
Na druhú stranu bolo v rozhovore spomenuté, že minulú sezónu bol top 10 v bodovaní obranov ECHL...

Myslim ze bude v Hersey a ak by mu vysla sezona tak Caps by mu mohli ponuknut novacikovsku zmluvu

Carrick, Schmidt, Schilling, Bowey su aj pre Caps dôležitý zadáci do budúcnosti. Čiže predpokladám, že top4 v AHL bude locknutá

Reakcia na: Zdenko, 28.08.2014 - 15:35:31
Staronovým tímom Caps v ECHL budú od tejto sezóny South Carolina Stingrays takže skôr tam
EDIT: Reading Royals už spadajú pod Flyers

Reakcia na: Jake, 28.08.2014 - 16:25:03
Zdá sa mi, že pre Boweyho platí to pravidlo, že do 20 rokov musí hrať buď za svoj tím v CHL alebo za Caps. Má 19, preto ešte 2014/15 odohrá asi v CHL.
(To isté, čo Wilson pred začiatkom minulej sezóny.)

Zoznam Caps prospectov:

1. Kuzya
2. Burakovsky
3. Barber
4. Vrana
5. Bowey
6. Grubauer
7. Carrick
8. Schimdt

Budúci draft podľa mňa treba 1. kolo použiť na nejakého C s Top 6 potenciálom, lebo C je pri pohľade na tú listinu najslabšia pozícia nie len v hlavnom klube, ale aj v prospectpoole.
