Is it too early for a beer?

[alta]

unfortunately I don't see the hens going 0-3 to start the season, but maybe the Caps can surprise me today

[BarfingMonkey]

Have faith Grasshopper.

[Mickstix]

Oh look, another PK for the Caps. 

[alta]

I can already see which way the officiating is going to go today


 

[Mickstix]

I just realized.. Since were in the Commie division, I guess we won't play a single game with any fans in the stands? Unless maybe Carolina allows any? Just hard to watch with an empty arena. Seems like some kind of scrimmage/practice atmosphere. 

[BarfingMonkey]

Good PK!

[alta]

GOOOAAALLLL!!!!

[Surreylily]

Whoooo hoooo!
