sorry to hear, I hope you're handling it well.


On a side note, the reason I got out of a garage and went to work on a company fleet was the public treating me like my only intent was to rip them off.

I'm fine.
When I heard he had passed I felt him stop by and let me know he is alright.  He was a very powerful presence when this happened.  I get this a lot when people close to me pass, with the exception of when my Mom passed. I never felt her come by even once.  On that note I used to get overrun by these experiences often when I lived on top of the hill behind Arlington National Cemetery.  Some nights hundreds of these "spirits" would rush through my apartment and make the hair on my body stand on end and they would completely freak out my Macaw who could actually see them.  I could tell you some wild stories about this shit.

In my experience there are a lot of bad apples in the mechanic business and so people are very wary. I've caught better than half the ones I ever dealt with cheating and lying big time. The big franchises are the worst in my opinion. My friend Marty just had so much integrity that his customers totally trusted him. I remember once early on I thought for sure I was looking at a huge repair bill and he said it was just a tiny thing and charged me $25.  This happened a lot. When I got sick he helped me save money by letting me bring in my own parts, which I could often get for less than he could.  He passed on that ethic to his crew, who now run the shop even though it is still owned by his family.

I think embellishment ruins the sport.  These fakers :poop: should be fined and suspended for that crap.

Agreed.  But we deserve what we get.  No heart this period.

Just fucking awful.  Pittsburgh coming into form and Caps are not getting any better.  Another early spring. Fuck this team.

Again, this team is not up for a game against a much weaker team. We will lose this game since we give up back to back goals because these losers like Niskanan don't play

Niskanen sucks.  We worried about Orpik’s contract but we are fucked with 2’s contract.

Not surprising really, considering how  :poop:  we're playing.

Who the fuck are Locker and JoeB taking about.  Calling Niskanen dependable. He’s been awful all year since his injury.

I may switch over to Olympics.  This is too difficult to watch.

I wouldn't want to play in front of this sorry-assed group of losing motherfuckers.  To give up 3 straight goals to a lowly team like Detroit is pathetic.  10 shots in 2 periods at home?  What a fucking joke this team is.  Every year it's the same crap.  They get all excited with themselves like they've done something by beating the fucking Jackets twice in a week.  So, then it's just like every other year.  We play bad hockey and start our slide into spring so that by the time we get wiped out in the first or second round of the playoffs it's not a surprise.  It's so fucking sad that we are all doing this to ourselves all over again.  After last year's flame out I said I wouldn't and yet, here I am again.  I complain about the Caps but the reality is that I'M JUST FUCKING PATHETIC that this is how I elect to spend my free time.


I am a Caps fan.  By definition I am self-loathing.

This team needs to dump Trotz.
Unfortunately, he is too nice, as the Capitals players, other than the rookies, are not listening to him. Bring in an asshole like Keenan or Sutter.. Sorry Trotz,  you're just not a winner

The Olympics are REALLY hard to watch.  I think an old Law and Order rerun is my next hour.


Better than this horrible display.

Ya know. ,  I’ll have to go back and rewatch to be certain, but this right know come Bash destroying Trotz. and Bashers players executing the game plan.


The causes for mistakes of that magnitude being made, and then in that succession simply HAS to be attributed to the forcing them, and generating confusion to cause even more.


But if it’s not that, . . . There some MAJOR issues that are being dismissed, covered up, denied and ignored.

   You guys have said it all. Its our terrible defensive zone coverage and turn over that have killed us all year. People complain we dont get enough shots. Well that all starts in the defensive zone. We are hemmed in our zone too long.
  Niskanen has been downright awful in this game. Orpik sucks too.

Have to bench Niskanen next game. Trotz only uses benching son rookies and 4th liners. He never wants to upset the hiarchy.


That was one of the worst periods I have ever seen us play.
