Karl Alzner Fights, Troy Brouwer Tricks in Caps’ Bizarre 4-3 Victory Over Lightningīrouwer celebrates the hatty! (Photo credit: Nick Wass)Ĭoming into tonight’s game, the Capitals had scored on five of their last 12 powerplays. On Wednesday’s edition of the Capitals Report podcast, Mike Vogel of and radio play-by-play guy John Walton discussed and defended the value of Rechlicz. Adding him to the roster of the Washington Capitals (whose woes include a lacking offense, malformed defense, and poor road performances– but not fighting) seemed like an arbitrary acquisition– one that does not improve their prospects for winning and fritters away precious salary cap space just before the trade deadline.īut for all his detractors, Wrecker also has some defenders.
#STEVE DOWNIE CONTRACT PRO#
Rechlicz is a pure fighter, a dying breed in pro hockey. Rechlicz’s one-year contract is for $525,000– which will count towards the Capitals’ already stressed salary cap. He has amassed no penalties and recorded no turnovers. In his six shifts, he saw one shot go on his net and zero at the other. Known fighter Joel Rechlicz has played 5 minutes and 25 seconds of Capitals hockey this year. The hit flipped Downie end-over-end to the ice in hilarious spectacular fashion. On January 13th against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Orlov caught Steve Downie with a hip check after the pest rifled a shot on goal. Well, here’s a hit you may not have even known happened. One of the reasons I came to play here – there is more hitting. “I really like the physical element of the game,” Orlov told RMNB’s Igor Kleyner a few days later.
On the other, he laid out an unsuspecting Blake Wheeler with an open-ice hip check. On one, he hit Evander Kane so hard into the boards that his stick flew into the crowd. That night he also made his presence felt physically with two monster hits. Way back on November 23rd, Dmitry Orlov registered his first NHL point in his second NHL game against the Winnipeg Jets.
