Caps aren't on fm tonight either

[Surreylily]

Morning all.     
This is looking pretty desperate.   

[Chaos43]

  Are they just resting these guys.

embellishment

    Good morning.

[Mickstix]

Awesome..    Think Im gonna go watch a movie.

[Surreylily]

Uh Oh!     
That looked bad for Willy.   

[HoustonCapsFan]

How is that not a penalty? 

[Chaos43]

How is that not a penalty?

   It may have been accidental. It may not have been. If it was any other player I'd say it was an accident but because it was Wilson I'm not sure.

[Chaos43]

     When ever I see a knee on knee hit I always think of Ulf Samuelson hitting Cam Neely.

[HoustonCapsFan]

I’m not buying the ‘incidental contact’ on that hit. Reverse the situation and Willy would be in the box if not a misconduct.

It does seem suspicious, but only because it' Willy.

I wonder if that's, at least part of the reason that Backus and maybe even Carlson are sitting tonight...

[Mickstix]

Whole team needs to go visit Sammy and Kuzy, w/o masks.. See if we can't get these playoffs delayed a bit. 

[Surreylily]

Good result, so far, scorewise, but gutting about Willy.
You have to wonder if that Flyer was a sacrifical lamb.....

[Mickstix]

Just heard Wilson done for the night.

[Surreylily]

Anybody remember the name of the fella who took him out?
