Evening all.
Dont think I'll make tonights game.  I have to be somewhere tomorrow.   Soooo I thought I'd give you the benefit of my wisdom beforehand.   

Watch out, Rooney is a ref tonight and he hates us.   


On another note, I'm really happy that 96, A - K (pretentious bastard ), has been consistently riding the pine since he came off his suspension.  I never want to see him in a Caps jersey again.

Running commentary please, as much as you can.   

[richkrt99]

What's pretentious about a check to the face? 


Alta will lead the charge, I'll be in there at some point and Mick....well, he will show up between naps.  Them older fellas need their rest and he FFS could use the beauty rest

[Mickstix]

Hey, Im wide awake!   

[alta]

GOOOAAALLLL

FEVER

[Mickstix]

Marty!!

[alta]

big clean hit along the boards by Oshie, the Kracks didn’t like it, Oshie vs Gourde get 5 for fighting

[Mickstix]

Keep yer head up rookie! Not sure I needed to see Oshie answering the bell, but there it was. lol Ol' boy looks pretty spry tonight!

[alta]

GOOOAAALLLL

SHEARY PPG

[Mickstix]

Pretty PP there.. Tick tack toe Sheary!

[alta]

the krack coach shouldn’t have started Gruby

[Mickstix]

Caps 2 goals on 4 shots. Krack were blocking shots like crazy for a bit there. Nice to see a couple find twine.

[richkrt99]

I’m still a few behind. Looking good so far.  Not sure why Oshie jumped into that fight
Seattle is pretty quick and they Did score 9 couple nights ago so maybe their arms will be tired

a few what? minutes? drinks?


or Micks?


 

[Mickstix]

He aint behind on Micks.. I just caught up during intermission myself. 

[Mickstix]

Nice PK and back to the PP..

[richkrt99]

Minutes and drinks. Caught up on minutes now. Still working on the drink part
I love the way Sheary plays. Always hussle

[richkrt99]

PP moving the puck well. I wonder if partly due to Seattle  moving pretty quick and aggressive attacking rather than sitting back

[Mickstix]

Yea, another nice PP. Gruby kept it out of the net for em'.
