Mickstix:
Kirk Cousins brought Minny back from 33-0 at the half to complete the biggest comeback in NFL history. Then the Gators got curb stomped in the toilet bowl. Can only imagine how tonight's gonna go.  :-\ Prolly gonna need to find the bottle AND the thing, before 7.  :uh-huh:

I expect to be outplayed  and weaknesses exposed by Toronto.


But then, I don't always get what I expect (or what I deserve)


Lindy has played very well....I mean really well.  I am a tad surprised nobody has been sniping the top corners on him, cause Lucky Lindy does squat down and is not a huge guy in net.


Maybe Ovi can do a little sumpin and get the boys going in this one.

Caps recalled Fucale this afternoon, which means Shepard can’t be the backup tonight. It’s either the flu or an injury but the team hasn’t said at this point.


Shepard took a puck to the head during morning practice, apparently it broke him. Dowd is also a scratch.
