Caps win 4-1

[Mickstix]

They really should of bumped this up to a 3-5pm start.. 

[alta]

Shepherd sent back to Hershey, Lindgren activated.

Tonight is the 800th career game for Wilson. Time moves way too fast.

[Mickstix]

Ok, got the game room tv set up in the living room. Gonna be double fisting it tonight! Can't miss the Skins game. Probably get rolled by Detroit, but been nearly 20 years since a playoff win. Probably 30+ since they won 2. Can't miss it!!


That's crazy Willy is playing game 800 tonight. Where does the time go.. 

[Surreylily]

[Surreylily]

Good lad Fever!

I thought this game was a little too sedate....   

[Surreylily]

A goal in both the first two periods and a pp to start the 3rd.

Now I just have to survive the second intermission.........
