Caps lose 5-4

[alta]

final game of the season, Devils are in as a 2nd seed but could move up to 1st seed with a win and a Hurricane loss

[Mickstix]

Welp, here we are once again.. Season winding down and the Caps future looks bleak.   


Ovie 2x and a regulation loss! 

[Surreylily]

morning chaps.   
hopefully a last hurrah tonight

[Surreylily]

Nice start.

 

[Mickstix]

What are we doin' here? 


Sandin with the bullseye. Sniver with a trip 20's.

[Surreylily]

I say vicar..,,
 

[Mickstix]

Now Smith.. Come on Ovi you bum!!! 

[Surreylily]

 
 

[Surreylily]

Now Smith.. Come on Ovi you bum!!! 

I was going to say, HEY Ovi!  That's how it's done........

[Mickstix]

That was Smith's 200th career goal. That's a lot of fucking goals! Bummer he's not still that guy.

[alta]

GOOOAAALLLL

WILSON

[Surreylily]

 

[BlackIce]

Whatever else you say about this organization, they do treat the sport with integrity. They could have just packed it in, made their tee times, and assured a better position in the draft  standings, but they've come out buzzing tonight on a night when NJ potentially has something worthwhile to play for.

[alta]

Sheary is the only guy on this team that has now played all 82 games. Strome, with the second most goals on the team has played 81, because he was a healthy scratch in January.

[alta]

matching minors on that is a load of shit, Lazar should’ve gotten the extra two for picking up the opposing players stick

[Mickstix]

Sandin has some spice to him. Think that'll work out to be a good pickup!

[Surreylily]

it would be nice if Ovi showed up in the final period.

[alta]

 

[Mickstix]

NJ really doesn't want to win. Guy took some sheepy looking hand taps for making it 4-3.


Need to get Ovi 1 if we're gonna slip draft positions.
