GAME TIME MOVED UP TO 2:30pm


instead of 7:00 because the NHL as run by betmann is a fukin joke,
and the outdoor game isn't even going to be on national tv




also, puck drop is 2:30 despite the game being listed as a 2:00 game

[Mickstix]

Anderson in goal..    The fuck is wrong with Samsonov? He must of aggravated an injury or something?  (Though Coach says it's just rust?)    Whatever.. Gonna need to score 5 in regulation, at least, it looks like. 


Note: Devils goalie also hasn't started since March 2020 as well.. Should be fun.  And we'll be going for 0-6 on early start games this year!

Anderson needs to play a few games, and scoring 5 is a given since the Caps can't hold a two goal lead

[alta]

I can't find any information on Caps lines, given the short turnaround I assume they are the same as yesterday


and every time the Caps have played on national tv this year there has not been the pregame on the local station

[alta]

and the news of NBC retiring Penishead was obviously not true

   
   

 

[Surreylily]

These early starts work for me.    Sadly not for anyone else, especially the team.......

[Surreylily]

I have a good feeling about this game.

Anderson needs cab fare.. Samsonov needs games. 


And yep, 2pm on NBC means 2:30 to the world..

Ahem!  7/30

Let's Go Anderson and Backy!
Let's GO CAPS, Let's get a W!

        Maybe Sammy is where he belongs right now.

[BarfingMonkey]

Which Hughs brother is better?

[Chaos43]

Jensen got owned on that shift.

Caps lines were changed up from yesterday

[Chaos43]

Which Hughs brother is better?

   I don't like either of them.

It's not working.

Samsonov might not be good the rest of the year if he is a Covid long hauler

[Chaos43]

Samsonov might not be good the rest of the year if he is a Covid long hauler

     I'm not sure what you mean.
