Caps win 4-3

[alta]

PP lines are a guess, because no one reported on them from this mornings practice. Willy looked like was bumped up to PP1 mid game against the Flyers.

Boston beat Pilly 6-0 today

 

[Mickstix]

Who's winning? Oh, puck drop isn't till 7:30+ 

[richkrt99]

I like Alta's advertised lines.


Strome goes from 3lw to bench to 1c 

[richkrt99]

My fault.  I just tuned in.
 

[richkrt99]

Dowd going off pretty gingerly down the tunnel...looked like he was in some serious pain. 

[alta]

 

[Mickstix]

Wrong time of the year for Kuemper to be letting in unscreened shots from the point.


Looks like Lard will have a sweater tomorrow. Dowd didn't look good, straight down the tunnel.

[Surreylily]

Morning fellas.     

[alta]

fellas?


what happened to chaps
 

[Mickstix]

TVR just about cost us another one there. Not sure what kinda soft shit that was. Didn't take the puck or the body. 

[Surreylily]

fellas?


what happened to chaps
 

I decided I needed a bit more variety in my life..     

[alta]

sounds like Dowd will miss a couple games, during the break he skated a tad and went right back down the tunnel

[alta]

 

 

[richkrt99]

Pfffffffff 

[Surreylily]

Uh oh.   

[Mickstix]

 


Game 4 of incompetence. Be cool if someone could put the puck on goal if they get a brakeaway.

[richkrt99]

It's a tad early for the "after the all-star break" let down we usually have.


Milano got to score on some of those...

[richkrt99]

I don't think 5 shots in a period is gonna cut it.
