This is Vrana’s first game as a Cap in 3 1/2 years. Thompson is facing his old team tonight.

Gave Chucky 1 game and pulled the plug! lol That's some loyalty for getting their  asses to the playoffs.. 


Hopefully they show up and play all 60 tonight!

Caps tweeted the lines, OV in his usual left wing spot. Should have known it was a practice gimmick.

Morning.   


Going through the usual battle to find a link that works.   

[Rey Capalpatine]

All right let's rock it out! I want to see some synchronicity in the offense.

  Good grief!   Our D are just all over place.   

[Surreylily]

Glad to see ThomCat in net.   I wonder if they'll do 50 / 50 untill one comes out on top?

[Mickstix]

PP time

[Surreylily]

I'd say better late than never, but our PP is bad.

1 to 1 after one, thanks to the zebras

Caps still have 30 seconds of PP to start the 2nd.

[Mickstix]

Kewl, we get the ball after halftime.
