On a slightly different note......
I do wonder if my presence on this board puts off other people?

The likes of Black Ice, Houston Caps, etc...

If it does, their skin is too thin for Caps hockey anyway. But I'd say no, they probably just don't have time to frequent/post on the board. Or, better, we ALL put them off. Some folk can't get past the Redneck and Hillbilly..  :smirk: :raspberry: :snicker:

My wife and I were Caps season ticket holders until a few years ago, when that routine had run its course and we needed to put that money to use for different priorities.  I still follow the team of course, but now in my elder years I have other priorities and am busy with other things most evenings.  So I don't follow the games very much while they are happening.


Too bad Ovie got #800 on the road, but it isn't surprising -- half of all games are on the road, and he IS the sport's greatest road scorer.


There have always been celebrations as Ovie has climbed the ladder, and they seem to lump themselves.  Two more and another celebration as Ovie passes Gordie Howe.  Then the celebrations come to an end for awhile, and the REAL slog begins.  When you are climbing a mountain and you pack up and leave the last way station with nothing between you and the summit, the last part of the climb is the hardest.

Wow, what a showing.  Ovi does tend to get up for big milestones.  Congrats to him on 800.
Looks like the whole team was up for this one.  I haven't watched the game yet - just the 9 minute condensed highlights version.
ESPN announcers suck balls.  We are so spoiled with Joe B that everyone else just pales in comparison.  He really is a great play by play guy, always stays with the game and on time, and entertaining.
It was me that said Lindy goes down early...which I see as his weakness.  He is very agile and athletic and has played excellent over this stretch of games and really made some great stops.  Kept the boys in it to give them chance to win.  It's nice to have run support though.  Caps have scored 7, 5, 4, 4, 3 goals over the last 5 games.  That's gonna win most games.


And sorry Mick, but my sister is allergic to bananas.  Which is odd....since she IS Bananas  :banana: :banana: :banana:

a historic milestone has devolved into a discussion about bananas …
