Let's GO CAPS!

They're probably just waking up over there!
 

[richkrt99]

Backy still out?  At this point they should just LTIR him retroactively and save a bundle of cap cash  (like someone else said couple days ago)


Not that I'm the distrusting sort at all, but nobody thinks this could have ANYTHING to do with his contract negotiation, eh?  Can't see how that could affect anything.

What type of upper body injury takes one out for 8 games?

Separated shoulder or concussion.  But if it were a shoulder or a something broken (finger, etc) they would have LTIR him right away.  I'm wondering if it was a concussion that is taking longer to deal with.


But then, I also wonder how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop or why a Mule won't sink in quicksand, but a donkey will so.....my wonderings may not mean anything.

[richkrt99]

So just so you know...
I am expecting a full let down at some point soon.  The Caps have been on a tear and I am fully expecting it to come to an end.  I really don't have a feeling about tonight's game, but I do think we are due for a bit of a slide.... or maybe a giant slide like a torrential rain induced California mudslide.  I just hate the big Boston game is coming up soon....just in time for the Caps to shit the bed for about two weeks and bring us all back down to reality.


(way to go Debbie Dickhead Downer)






I mean....what I meant was....I think we are awesome and we will continue our road success with another dominating win against the deserving Ducks.


GO CAPS

[richkrt99]

WAYYYYYYYY TOOOOOOO Much time til puck drop.


                             
Do any of you guys drink?                 Maybe we should get together and have like a Caps watch party for bored board members for a big game at someone's place?

[BarfingMonkey]

If I recall, we usually start to dive after the All-Star break.

I seem to recall a conversation about positive attitude. I expect to see some fireworks tonight, especially between Hathy and gunderdick

Or better yet.....An afternoon at the range (or someone's estate who can handle it) beforehand for us real Mericans and any bored board members who wish to partake.... and THEN a watch party.  NOW we're talking my language.

When was the conversation about positive attitude?


I'm actually usually not a downer (out loud, anyway)


I do really like the chemistry this team seams to have this year.  Don't know if it's Reirden or what, but the Caps are fun to watch.  They seem to bring it most games and do sort of have a never quit this year.  I don't recall a Caps team with this many come backs in a season.  Even when we're down 2 goals entering the third, I'm thinking....We can still win this.  Seasons past, no way , not the case.
I mean, it helps when your 4th line is producing and your "best defenseman"( ) is having a career offensive year, and every line is a threat to score and there's some hitting and goaltending is working and old guys are still scoring, and Ovi is still skating, and...so on.

Outlandish, blasphemic statement!!    (it's a word, deal with it!) 


Backy out till we lose, period. Wouldn't be wearing a full contact jersey if he was still ailing. PERIOD! 

[richkrt99]

Gun or driving range?

For Heavens sake.  GUN YOU MISFIT!!!!


Driving range?  WTF Monkey?  Don't you ever visit the "Dark" Caps threads" (Anything but Hockey)....where we talk about Guns and blowing shit up and .....stuff?


Jesus Man.  Driving Range!?.  We old, but we aint "Driving Miss Daisy" old.


Consider yourself reprimanded. Don't let it happen again.

He'd be sued for breech of contract if he was holding out playing right now over negotiations. Not at all likely IMO.

I like that about you Rich. Such a deep thinker!
