Rather ironic that the Caps have to travel out of town to Buffalo of all places to avoid the snow.


It's telling how much of a problem the 3rd line has been this season that, at least temporarily, Carbery feels the need to juggle all 4 lines to try to get L3 going.

Another fucking NHLnet game for out of towners.    Seems the powers that be have gotten better at killing streams. Last time I had to steal it was a major pia..

thanks Mick

You don't get monumental local?  So far so good on the stream.

oh. 


It's not too terrible if it's the same! Feel better bro!!

[waynerivers]

Stop watching the damn puck and knock some guys on their backsides.  We need somebody on the backline who can hit somebody.  Other than Fehervary occasionally nobody does except McIlrath and he's in the press box.

PP GOOOAAALLLL

WILSON
