Did anyone notice who the D pairing were on the two goals against?  Was it the same pairing on both goals?

Chucky having a stinker.

I didn’t see who was on the ice exactly. Alexeyev and Iorio are both a -2 after 2 periods. The other D are even. But CBus has scored 5.

Monumental has got to fix the camera that makes the Caps look like they are in orange sweaters.

I suspect that little tiff with Alexeyev will continue into the regular season.

I like that he didn’t hesitate or back down.

i didnt watch the game...poker night
sadly...I did about as well as the Caps last night 

My parents live just outside Asheville, NC.  They got hammered by the storm..mostly rain.  They lost power yesterday, their basement is flooded, and today they have no cell service and no land line phones so we cant reach them.
areas got 27" of rain in 24 hours...terrible flooding - worst in 200 years
they live up in the hills so no danger of getting washed away, but the whole area is devastated.  Over 700 roads closed due to flooding and landslides.  Both major interstates (I-40, I-26) are closed.

I feel so sorry for all these people in North Carolina, Georgia or Florida etc. I have lived in Pennsylvania all my life, Lancaster, Allentown and now Chambersburg and after seeing and hearing about all this destruction, I am blessed, so far, to have never experienced anything like it. In 1954 I have a faint memory, of hurricane Hazel, which was one of the few to come over Lancaster and that took some of the roofing off of the row homes where we lived. I was nine then.

Helene will be talked about for the next century..  Friends in Tn said both highways to NC are washed out. Towns in all 3 states are practically gone. Many people missing. It's fucked up.

I hadnt realised it was that bad over there again.  It's not like there's actual global warming going on or anything, huh?   Otherwise you'd think there's some sort of policy put in place to help people, huh?


Our main international news over here is all about the Israeli's and who they're gonna bomb next, or our own local floodings.
 
 Man, we are such a cancer on our planet!   No wonder it wants to get rid of us!


Several years ago, back when I first got to khow some of you guys and gals, I had a vision of floods and the need to buy a boat.  Even a rubber dinghy.  I had visions of ropes attatched to neighbouring buildings, to help get across.   For places to eat to sleep. 
 I thought it was to do with where I lived.
Maybe it's for you..........


Be safe.         (Buy a boat)

Im not sure where the "Global Warming is a Hoax" nonsense came from. (From the Right, I imagine) But it's stupid. The globe is warming and the climate changing.. Always has, always will. There's just one side of our population who thinks the Govt (and tax money) can change the weather.. Not sure where they got the money/technology to get us out of the ice age, but here we are! 


But yea, it's that bad again. (Not sure when you're referring to) but it'll be worse this time. Last I heard there were 13k people missing in Tennessee alone. Area's haven't seen this kind of flooding for 100+ years. (Damn that carbon footprint back then!)      Oh, boat sits at the ready!
