Hopefully our boys didn't eat and drink too much yesterday! Leafs not having a great year but more than capable of spanking us if we're not ready.

[alta]

I anticipated this, but not 21 seconds in. Sutherland says no goal




surprisingly the zebras will review it

[alta]

Sutherland says no goal after review

[Mickstix]

Fucking horseshit whistle. Keep the fucking whistle out of your mouth.

[Mickstix]

LT been unimpressive lately

[alta]

Caps down 1-0 after one

[alta]

PP time

[alta]

Carlson shouldn’t be out on the PP anymore, and stop double shiting OV

[alta]

 


 

[alta]

nother pp . .

[alta]

coach needs to make more adjustments to the PP

[Mickstix]

Shitty call to start, shitty result after 1, shitty feeling game.    And yea, Carlson has no business on either PP. Though Sandin really doesn't either.


I figured as soon as they starting talking about how leaky the Leafs have been this year, we wouldn't score any goals.

[alta]

GOOOAAALLLL

MCMICHAEL

[alta]

Caps down 2-1 after two

[Mickstix]

Low key shocked we actually scored. See if they can find a couple more in the 3rd.

[alta]

Protas could be much better with a coach that knows how to work with his size and speed.

[alta]

Caps are slamming the doors at the bench, that almost never ends with a win.
