Caps lose 6-3

[Mickstix]

Didn't even have time to mix my drink and it's 2 zip them. 4 odd mans and a double screen usually don't end well in the first 5 minutes.

MALENSTYN

[Mickstix]

Malenstyn!! Cuts the deficit to 1.

I had the opening minutes on the radio. It sounded like Caps won the opening faceoff, attempted to dump it in and immediately had to defend a 3 on 1

[Mickstix]

McMike!! Where you been boi!! Tied at 2

GOOOAAALLLL

Caps get a PP after the commercial

Yea, they gave up 3 odd mans in a row before they finally scored on the 4th.  I assume Carlson started the game? If so he was out for at least 2 of them.

Right now Carlson is a +/- 0. Currently no one on the Caps is a -2, so a couple guys must’ve been out for both.

Mornin'.  Sorry I'm late.

Looks like it's been interesting........

TvR is not officially listed as a scratch. He must still be sick.

[Mickstix]

Evenin' Lil. You missed the miracle on ice! We came back from 2 down.

[Surreylily]

I do wonder sometimes if the Caps org. have people who read our posts, sometimes.......
We have a pop at a player or two and they suddenly show up.

I was about to say something nice about Dylan and then he goes and shoves his dick in his ear for the last two games.     

[Surreylily]

Here's an experiment..........  Ovi is not capable of scoring a hattie ever again.......   

[Surreylily]

We took Ovi off at an offence  thingymajig?
