Need this one to get the road trip off to a good start. But will be able to watch only the first period.

Lily, don't know how you do it.....

[Pavel095]

It’s always hard to play there,hoping  to see good play in defense tonight 

[OnlyCaps2]

Also, hopefully they have got over the euphoria of winning the outdoor game.

[Mickstix]

So, over under on how many goals against Kempny is responsible for tonight? Pretty sure he's got at least 1 under his belt every game so far! Might we see 2 tonight?  lol


Seriously though, not really seeing a defensive upgrade there.. Hope he/they step it up here.

   I think he has been responsible for atleast 1 goal every game. He seems to move the puck adequately. Other than that he fricken sucks.

[Maacoshark]

That was incidental contact. Just as much an interference on Silverberg. Wilson got the call because Silverberg went down.

[washcapsfan]

Niskanan sucks again and Holtby faces his typical 1 shot and 1 goal

[Mickstix]

Good grief.. I guess that was interference? But why's Niskanen fucking around with the puck? He comes out from behind the net with it, just back hand it down the damn ice?  Nah, lets get cute with the wall, like were not on the PK.. 1 shot, 1 goal.. 

[justwincaps]

Could you script a worse start to the road trip?  Bullshit call on Tom Wilson because .... he’s Tom Wilson.  Holt by faces 1 shot = 1 goal.  Down 1 with less than 2 minutes played.  Ugh!

zebras gotta set the tone early

[washcapsfan]

Kuzy playing suck again.. 2 fucking icing on the power play?

[Surreylily]

Morning peeps.

[washcapsfan]

Niskanan is a stupid player. How the fuck is he our number one D? He absolutely sucks

[washcapsfan]

Niskanan with his 5th turnover on the first 10 minutes

[Mickstix]

Niskanan is a stupid player. How the fuck is he our number one D? He absolutely sucks

We have quite a few million tied up in defenseman who suck at defense..

[Maacoshark]

  Glad to see someone else thinks Niskanen is a bum

[Beaglefan2]

Have I said how much I hate the drop pass on the power play? Carlson is just horrible at it. It’s 50/50 on which team he is actually dropping it to. In his defense, it’s not fair to ask the Dumbest player in hockey to execute that play.

[alta]

this may not be worth staying up for

[Mickstix]

Ah well, if they were at home or this was vs Buffalo or something I'd think we may have a chance.  But 2 zip after one is gonna spell night night for me.. They got a couple minutes to alter that path.. I'm not holding my breath..
