Caps win 7-4

[Beaglefan2]

This is one I would really like to win and then have them fire Laviolette after the game!

Afternoon.     

[Mickstix]

   morning..    Guess Alta's as busy as Thompson. lol  Seems like he's made 10 good saves in first 5 minutes. 

[Mickstix]

Jesus fucking christ.. We're doomed with retarded goalies. 


 

[Surreylily]

Uh oh.

[Surreylily]

Looks like neither wants to be the starting goalie.   

[Surreylily]

Are you feeling better Mickey?   

[Mickstix]

Yea, finally.. Still not 100% but 80+ is ok!    Thanks for asking! 

[Surreylily]

our fellas need to wake up.  Not looking very sharp.

[Mickstix]

There we go Stromer! Got it back on the PP!! Nice work!


1-1 after 1.

[Surreylily]

Not sure what Quick was ranting about.  He was up, he made a save and Strome got him on the rebound.  No one was in his paint or interfering with him.

[Surreylily]

Would be nice to see McMike this game...

[Mickstix]

Would be nice to see McMike this game...

Sure would! Was gonna say Miro too, but he's a scratch for Jake today.

[waynerivers]

Hey, back to back games with a goalie assist.

[waynerivers]

Not sure what Quick was ranting about.  He was up, he made a save and Strome got him on the rebound.  No one was in his paint or interfering with him.

They've all become accustomed to whining.  About 10% of goalie interference calls are warranted.

Hey, back to back games with a goalie assist.
