Caps should have no problems winning this, but they still gotta go out there and try

Yep, yep.  Caps are notorious for playing down to the opposition.  Plus....they are kind of due for a stinker.  I know they threw one a few games back, but they are 8-1-1 in their last 10.  Problem with that is Islanders are 9-0-1 in their last 10.  Bigger problem is Caps play the Isles tomorrow night - that's a tough back to back in two different cities for an aging team.  Caps need to win tonight and tomorrow just to TIE the Isles.  Ovie needs to wake up and blow past Espisito with two tonight, and maybe add two more Tomorrow.  Islanders have NOT lost a game at home in regulation this season.




Geez the Canes have come on and snuck past Tampa by a point for 1st in the Central (Tampa does have 1 game in hand)


But I digress...


GO CAPS - kick some Buffalo ASS

Back to back, 2 days off, back to back.. Oof. Expecting a letdown here soon. Hope Im wrong but all these games are gonna catch up to us. Especially missing 43 and 20. Fuck it, we're doomed!  :wackysmile: lol
