FOOOOOOOORE!!!

[Rey Capalpatine]

I'm going to be at work.  Maybe me missing the game might help them win?

[Mickstix]

I've made my peace.. I'll probably bitch if we get embarrassed again, but it is what it is. Once Fever got hurt, I knew any actual chance at a deep run/cup was probably not possible. I wasn't ready for NC to embarrass us the way they have, but truth is, our slow-old age is still an issue. And our D has been screened by above avg goaltending all year. (Even when Fever was healthy) Not to mention our only true goal scorer is 40 years old. We lack "talent" that's needed this time of year. But, has been a successful season by most any standard, so gonna "try" and just enjoy this one.. Hope for 1 more game after tonight, but if not, so be it. Get em' boys!!

Let's do this shall we?


Time for some bodies to start hitting the floor ice.  At least make it watchable

Chatfield is out for the Canes, injury. Their new guy Nikishin will make his NHL debut tonight.

[Surreylily]

Same old, same old.   

[Mickstix]

Soft goal again. Gotta hope Thompson is not 100%. Else we paid a lot of money for AHL caliber goaltending.

GOOOAAALLLL

BEAUVILLIER

game tied 1-1 after one

[Surreylily]

Some pretty solid non-checking going on so far.   

[Mickstix]

Jeebus, survived the end of the period somehow.  We just look punch drunk.

Some pretty solid non-checking going on so far.

NHL scoring says the Caps out hit the Canes 19 to 12 in the first. But, what they count as a hit these days is ridiculous.
