Caps lose 5-2

Tonight is a must win

[Beaglefan2]

I'm thinking that the Caps may come out kinda pissed off after the end of the last game where that guy hit Mangiopani in the back - that was a real cheap shot and could have easily injured him.  I think it was Walker that did it.


I'm gonna go with the Caps 4 and Canes 1.  Goals by Wilson, Strome, Ovi and Mangiopani!!

I think you might be better off predicting who will score for the Canes.        Jus' sayin'

I do appreciate your optimism tho..

Let's Go Caps!


If the whole squad would play with Willy's intensity, we'd look a site better.  (might spend 1/2 the game in the box, but it would be better to watch)


was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[waynerivers]

Win tonight or it'll be golf by Friday.  If we get down 3-1, we'll throw in the towel rather than go back to Raleigh for another beating. 

[Beaglefan2]

Stay positive!  They never shoulda pissed us off!!!

[alta]

Willy up to 1, Protas down to 2.
Leonard in, Raddysh out.
Sandin and Roy switch lines.

[Mickstix]

Need to score goals to win! 

[alta]

It appears Carolina has not made any changes to their lines.

[alta]

 


 

[Mickstix]

And it begins. 

[Mickstix]

That'll probably be all they need. The team that averaged 4 goals a game has left the chat. 

[alta]

 


Caps get a PP outa that

[alta]

pppp

[alta]

Chychy is leaking, that’s a 4:00 PP

[Mickstix]

We have the absolute worst PP in the playoffs.. Fucking pathetic. 

[waynerivers]

When did the ECHL team arrive and put on Caps uniforms?   God, that was pathetic.  This one's going to end about 4-0 or 5-0.  You can feel it coming. 

[Rey Capalpatine]

Washington is too slow. Against a hard working and fast team like Carolina, you’re going to have issues creating offense consistently.  ☹️
