Its nice to see our FO% back in the toilet after it was on the rise last year.
Im sure McMike at 3c and Lepew at 4c will help that statistic.


Go Caps


FWIW - I'm expecting an ass-whooping tonight

It's a winnable game! Protect the houze and all that shit! 

[alta]

I agree that it’s winnable. The last game on Sunday Backy had a grand total of 12 minutes on ice. The team should be better now in some aspects. Probably worse in a few too.

Evening chaps   

[Mickstix]

Let's go Kuznetsov!! There's no more shadow to hide in! Step the fuck up man!!! 


(I know he secretly reads our forum, so I gave him a pep talk)

[Mickstix]

Caps are "rocking the blue"  How fucking stupid.

[Mickstix]

Typical 1st period. Play decent, nothing to show for it, multiple goals down.

PP time

[Mickstix]

Another shit PP. Awesome. We're 1 GA from just hoping Ovi can score. 

[BlackIce]

Another shit PP. Awesome. We're 1 GA from just hoping Ovi can score. 

Hey, the Caps are rolling, only giving the Isles 2 shots on goal through the first 16+ minutes and .....






oops ......

[Surreylily]

Maybe Ted could spend $9mil  on a decent goalie.   

[Mickstix]

Anyone remember us having an odd man rush this year? I can't recall any, tbh.
