Caps lose 2-1

The lines are based on the coaches comments after this mornings practice.

[Mickstix]

Eller gonna have his hands full if they need to play D.

[Surreylily]

Morning.

Morning.   

did you read the boredom thread yet?

[alta]

PP time

[Surreylily]

did you read the boredom thread yet?

Yep.   Huge relief.   I don't understand how McBain got away scott free, no review by the powers that be, not even a penalty called on a deliberate attemp to injure.   If that had been Willy, he'd have been lucky to still have a career.

Caps up 1-0 after one

[Surreylily]

Steady first.    We know all our guys can score.

[Mickstix]

PLD!! That's who we need to heat up here for the next month..

[alta]

Caps were %80 at the faceoff dot in the 1st
 

[Surreylily]

We're doing okay so far, but I'm finding it hard work tonight.   

[Surreylily]

This is really not helping.

[Surreylily]

Good Lord.  Back to the chip n chase again.    Fucking idiots.   

[alta]

game tied 1-1 after two

[Mickstix]

Their forecheck is killing us, slowly but surely. 

[Surreylily]

Thank God that periods over.

We seem a tad lacklustre tonight.
