Carlson is a game time decision and no OV for the 3rd game in a row

If the Rags lose tonight vs the Isls, and the Hens lose tonight, the Caps will have clinched a playoff spot

Bummer, would like to see Ovi light up the fucking Hens.


I'm afraid we will have a let down just in time for these bunch of pansy ass wipe MFR's.


I've been watching the Caps Hens 2018 series again lately....CAN NOT believe the bias from the NBC announcers.  Everything was so Crosby this, Crosby that, Pittsburgh yada yada yada.  It is disgusting to listen to.  I'm up thru Game 5 with the Caps up by a game and still Shitsburgh is great...  It's appalling. Every game, ALL game they are stroking the Pens.  SO much the sweeter it was to beat them.

Did they say what's up with Carlson? Did he get dinged in the last game or just maintenance or?

dinged late last game, lower body

They called a penalty on the Hens?  I thought that wasn't allowed  Can't they overlook the rules?

Oshie's redirects are amazing, hand eye coordination.
