Dominate the period, have the usual shit PP, then give one up from the blue line with seconds to go.  :sick:  This shit is becoming too regular.  :-(

Caps will start the 3rd with 30 seconds of PP

Doubt 1 goal lead is enough. They'll get at least 1 more from center ice.

Had no idea there was a game today.  I thought it was on new years day.  Wait they are playing on new years day.
Lets give them 2 days off then play back to back matinee's.  Fn stupid.  And don't the Rags play in the winter classic tomorrow? :huh:

well looks like the Caps were ready.  I see big Willy scored and Lenno made a nice pass on 1st goal.  Love to see Sourdiff finally get one too.

The only stream i can get to ever work anymore is the nhl66 one and its picture quality sucks
My goodstream used to be good for me but i can never get it to work anymore.



FFS - HIT HIM!!!
