5pm on a Saturday?  WTF?   

 
glad you posted this early - don't think i would have caught the start time

[alta]

Thompson still day to day, Lindgren moved to IR. Roy is out. Fever is out. McMike is out.


Fehérváry’s girlfriend just gave birth to their first kid.

[Mickstix]

Think they said McMike was "week to week"?

PP time

did all of PP1 double shit that?

He’s officially on IR, still very well could be “week to week”.

Carbery in his pregame interview said week to week, and that McMichael would be out through the break.  Then we'll see after that. 

[Mickstix]

Yea, PP1 took a 30 second shift, then another 30 at the end. Just another chapter in the Carbery book of strange.


  held em' off for most of the period anyway. They're mostly little fuckers who skate through the middle of the zone with their head down. All we do is take pokes at the puck with our sticks. Nobody wants to plant dicks in the dirt, so.. We get what we get.

Being put on IR requires a player miss a week, so no big deal.

Caps down 2-0 after one

[Mickstix]

They can never take our 1 in a row away!!

[Mickstix]

Games over. Just your normal Caps    but to be expected with the extra injuries.


It's funny watching us still try to overpass. On the off chance the extra pass ever gets there, somebody will inevitable miss the shot anyway. Just shoot the fucking puck and hope for loose change.. lol


Looks like we'll have to pray for a late game fluke goal to bust the shutout again today!
