Another NHLNet game for us out of towners.

Didn’t the Caps royally shit the bed the last time they played the Yotes ?

[richkrt99]

The Caps put Kuzy on Waivers?  Damn they really are done with this guy and his BS.
I’m a little surprised he hasn’t been claimed. He’s a huge risk for sure but for a playoff bound team he could be a difference maker
If any team wanted him…wouldn’t they just grab him for free?  Rather than waste assets in a trade?
I mean I guess he’s a big cap hit next year but still
I guess we found out by 2pm exactly what the rest of the league thinks of him

I could see a couple teams take a chance at about $5M, but not $7.8M.

No chance for Lindy on that.

December 4 in Arizona, Coyotes won 6-0

[Mickstix]

Our ability to look like shit is impressive.

hey now, I didn’t get to bed until 3am

[alta]

incidental, yea right

[Surreylily]

We are slacker than a good ho's knicker elastic.   

Edmunson has annoyed me.  Twice now he's been caught contemplating his navel and a Yote glides by and takes the puck off him.      

[Surreylily]

and what's with allowing all these breakaways?

 

[Mickstix]

hey now, I didn’t get to bed until 3am

Well then, Im gonna give you a pass today. 

[Surreylily]

Loosey goosey slack Alice is what we are so far.
Boys missing their afternoon nap and their nanny's teets?

On the plus side we're only one down and that's more to do with luck methinks.

[Mickstix]

Imagine that.
