3:00pm....   

[richkrt99]

Pretty sure the scratch of Leipsic is....more than a scratch.  (It's a mere flesh wound)


He's playing in the KHL I think,


And...is there something wrong with Gudas?


And...What WAS the injury to Samsonov?



3pm is a drag...I won't be able to watch....or comment.  Gonna watch tonight (assuming the DVR functions properly)

[ArJunaZ]

Another serious issue with playing all games at two arenas. Especially with 20 minute overtimes. Bruins bear Canes 4-3 in 2OT.


CAPS PUCK DROP AT 4:04pm ET

[alta]

that’s a little better than 3, but they’ve already screwed my afternoon

[Mickstix]

Are we winning yet?   

[alta]

74 is playing


didn't catch who got bumped

[alta]

exciting stuff so far

[Mickstix]

Think the summer hockey novelty has worn off.. Just not really giving a shit about this.


Well, hold up a sec.. Wilson's kicking someone ass.   

[ArJunaZ]

I just sat down to watch.  I saw the Wilson Anders Lee bout. What did I miss?

[ArJunaZ]

LOL,  I just went back and saw the hugfest between Carlson and Lee.

 

[Mickstix]

You haven't missed much. Couple failed PP's and Carslon tryin to spread the covid.    Think Oshie had about the best chance during the PP but muffed the shot from in front. I could of missed something, I wasn't all that tuned in.

[Mickstix]

And...is there something wrong with Gudas?


And...What WAS the injury to Samsonov?

Not sure whats up with Gudas. Just a scratch I imagine. Heard Samsonov hurt his back (pinched nerve maybe) on an ATV or something, during the lockdown..

[alta]

Caps have had good energy from the start, they look like they came to play
74 hugged a guy over a cheap shot on Backy, and 43 reinforced that opinion


Caps gotta be careful now though to stay out of the box

[Mickstix]

No Nicky after intermission..   

[Surreylily]

Thanks for the links AJ.   

[alta]

77 PPG

Boom Chucka

[richkrt99]

I have to say...lucky bounce, but good work by the boys and lets give Johnny Q some credit...couple excellent keep ins to keep the zone going.  Don't think the Islanders ever cleared the zone once on the PK
