Caps need to throw the kitchen sink at them again in the 1st. They are bound to start going in at some point.

Fingers crossed that the hockey gods give us a little puck-luck tonight, I’m afraid we’re going to need it. 

I’m still cautiously optimistic that we aren’t as bad as things look [all evidence to the contrary].   

[Surreylily]

Morning chaps.

So …. Who had the Mantha square as the first Cap to give the team a lead in 2023-2024?

It was me...I should win 5.75million for that square, yes?

[justwincaps]

Embarrassing that we can’t get the puck out of our zone. 

[Mickstix]

Stromer!!!

[Mickstix]

Made up for that embarrassment in our zone.
