Caps lose 8-3

The broadcast channel for tonight’s game is in dispute. Caps dot com says it’s on the primary, the Caps twits say it’s on 2. The cable guide says 2 is off air all night and basketball is on 1.




I assume the lines are the same as last night, except for the goalie.

Last week they showed the upcoming schedule for the next few games. One of the games said Monumental 2, but I can't remember which. I just remember seeing Monumental 2 and thinking you'd be pissed.

I’m highly annoyed that professionals that run the website of a professional sports team can’t post accurate information. Its not a difficult job.

pre game just started on 2, despite the on screen guide saying it’s off air

Basic common sense is a stretch for most "professionals" these days.

same lines as last night, Lindy in net

[Surreylily]

Morning all.
 

[Surreylily]

I'm not feeling too confident about tonight.

[Mickstix]

We're in danger of getting smoked here.   

[Mickstix]

Jeebus, wake up boys.. Glad they washed that one out or it's 2 zip. Could be 4 zip. 

[Mickstix]

Oh, evenin' Lil! Happy happy thoughts!! 


Opps, there's 2 zip. 

[Mickstix]

Shocked it's not 3 zip. Still got a minute to kill to start the 2nd. Yay!!! 

[Surreylily]

S'not looking good.

[Surreylily]

Yeah, but at least it's not going to be a shutout........

[Mickstix]

Oh well, we played above our average for a week or so.. Maybe Ovi can get one tonight! 

[Surreylily]

'Cos we need to give them so much more help.
