I hesitate to point this out, but.. if the Caps win and Carolina loses in regulation tonight the Caps will be in 2nd in the Metro.

No TVR, no Fever, no Edmundson [though really, is that a loss since we haven’t seen him all year] and Sandin a game time decision.  We could be without 4 of the 6 defenseman we pinned in at the start of training camp.   And, it’s a back-to-back.   

Hoping for the best, expecting the worse.

Morning chaps.   

[justwincaps]

Hey ‘Lil - got your stream working?

[Mickstix]

Ok, let's go..

[Surreylily]

Looks like we've managed to flog our awful blue kit to the Isles.     

[Surreylily]

Hey ‘Lil - got your stream working?

For now..........

[Mickstix]

I think Joe is about done with the "experiment" as well. "Phillips shouldered off the biscuit" 

[Surreylily]

Hey ‘Lil - got your stream working?

The first one seems to be working okay so far.

Sandin has a “sore face” from that forearm he got last night. I suspect it’s a broken nose.

[Surreylily]

Meh, Ovi scored, FINALLY.   I'm happy.

Shepard looked good until that mistake at the end of the 1st.
