THE THREAD!  THE THREAD!

Backy and Ovi 900 games together.  Wow.


Do you think they will reach 1000 Together?  (meaning, WILL the Caps successfully sign Backy?)

[richkrt99]

Hope the Caps play at decent Caps level and not at the Devil's level, which is what we tend to do.


Figuring after the last game, we should be better ready to NOT do that.


GO CAPS

No doubt in my mind they will.
 

Did you hear Leonsis last week saying he fully expects Ovie and Backy to never play for another team their entire careers and wants the two of them to remain ambassadors for the Capitals after they retire.  I paraphrase, but that's basically what he said.

Yep, I heard it.  Encouraging this day and age.  Ovi may not be worth $10m/yr on the ice in years to come, but he has certainly been the face of the franchise and fulfilled the Cup destiny here.  NOT THAT WE ARE THROUGH with just the one, but it would be nice to see him play here his whole career.  He's worth the 10m in marketing and to the NHL.  Ted should get a kickback from the league on Ovi's salary    or at least a reduction in his cap hit.

Let's Go CHAOS!

Let's Go CHAOS!

I think you meant.

[richkrt99]

the boys only need one more season to reach 1000 games together

[ArJunaZ]

What the hell happened to the pregame show?  Is there no pregame tonight?  I saw the Wizards show on instead, and now it went blank on the stream.  It was definitely NBCSWA channel too. Anyone have a guide to see if normal pregame is on tonight?

[BarfingMonkey]

I'm drinking...

What's happened to Lil?

the Comcast guide has it on the plus channel,


and now that the commercials are over I can verify it is indeed on NBCSW+

[ArJunaZ]

What's happened to Lil?

I wish she'd come visit us.

BTW, Happy  Birthday Lil!

She logged in here about 33 minutes ago, but hasn't posted since October 11th.

Come back Lil!!!!

Thanks.  The stream showed the Wizards show for about a minute and then nothing.  They just this second as I type this switched on the correct pregame.

[BarfingMonkey]

Happy Birfday Lil!

Let's GO Backy!

[ArJunaZ]

So that's how it's going to be tonight.  Wood grabbed Ziggy's stick and Ziggy gets called for a hook.
