Joe B is still sick, Walton will fill in for him. Zach Fisch, who normally does Hershey Bears games, will take Waltons spot on the radio.




and of course this is a win or play golf game for the Caps

Verhaeghe is a game time decision for the Panthers, hopefully he’s not able to play tonight.


and still no Marchment, although that didn’t seem to an issue for game 5

Well that's a bummer about Joe B, but Walton is good.  I'd rather listen to the national guys than Smokin Al Koken.  I hate his "play by play" announcing.  I know he's been around the Caps forever and has lots of knowledge, but he flat out sucks at calling a game.  He spends all his time talking and NOT calling the game and he never keeps up.

Keys to the game:


Will Mantha be energized and work hard - or just glide around?


Will Ovie get physical right off the bat?


Will Kuzy ramp it up?


Will Carlson and Oshie (yes, Oshie) avoid terrible turnovers?


Will Orlov lay somebody out coming across the middle and make them think twice about entering the zone?

No Willy (lower body) and no JoeB (upper body) We're fucked.. 


Finished off the last jinxed bottle of bourbon. Crackin a new one tonight! 


Hope I can find a stream with the fuckin "home" button available.. Stupid as shit they all have "national" and "away" only??

Nice change for TJ.  Stick to the ankles instead of to the face.   

[Surreylily]

Just heard from Oldhat.  Good news is that he's still alive.   

[Mickstix]

Tell the old fucker to jump in!! Sup Old Hat!!


Decent period.. Physical looked good. Don't think Oshie and Mojo are be enough to win the game though. Need some fuckin Ovechkin, fuckin Mantha, Fuckin Kuzy and Fuckin Nicky!!!

[Mickstix]

Ovie Oshie Kuzy Mantha Dowd!!


Annnd some    as well..

[Surreylily]

Bah!  Humbug.   

[Beaglefan2]

I'm done with Mantha. If you watch their goal starting from deep in their zone, Mantha just glides all the way back making little to no effort on defense.  He can be great at times and hopefully will score tonight to redeem himself, but I am just done with has lackadaisical effort.
