He has to get suspension for that.  Not so much the fucking sucker punch, but he tried to spear the goalie in the neck with his stick.


WTF was he pissed about, and why the fuck did not one of the Hens just pound him?  I mean if there was ever a time to fucking run a guy, it's after he abuses your GT....not once but twice.

Damn...Shitsburgh been on a tear and now in 1st place and 3pts ahead of Canes (Canes still have 4 games in hand)
Boston has been as mediocre as the Caps lately so Caps still in 1st wildcard spot, 5 pts up on Boston (Boston has 4 games in hand)


Caps 4th in Division...


Hens   70pts  50 games
Canes  67pts  46 games
Rags   66pts  48 games
Caps   63pts  51 games

Wonder what he was pissed about?

don’t know, I’m looking for more info, can’t find any

only nascar can mandate a car that can’t move under its own power with a flat tire

[Mickstix]

   They better hope that thing isn't as fragile at lesser speed tracks. Not sure what they'll do about the low profile tires, probably nothing. But the new independent rear ends didn't take much at all to break. Lots of carbon fiber on those cars too.. Very strong if hit correctly, very fragile if not.

[alta]

the whole thing has gotten beyond stupid. In previous cars putting a full load of fuel in is what dictated the length of pit stops. They move to spindle mount wheels, because they are so popular in stock automobiles, shortens the time needed to change tires and to make up for that they restrict the fuel flow from the cans so refueling takes longer.

I get going to overhead cam engines, push rod motors are going the way of the dinosaurs. But going to a transaxle is stupid. And based on what I saw in L.A, those things won’t hold up at short tracks and road courses where they are constantly shifting and under full load.



I still think this heat racing is efing stoopid

Why no Caps games for a week?  Who makes this schedule?

Why no Caps games for a week?  Who makes this schedule?

there was a 2 1/2 week break for Olympics, instead we got an all star game, some make up games from the flu, and two breaks. I don’t think this counts as the bye week because the team is still practicing.

Caps are nearly cemented into a playoff spot...


If Caps play the remainder of the season with a 40% winning percentage and Detroit wins @ 75% ,[size=78%] [/size]then they will be virtually tied for the last WC spot.  Columbus is only 1 pt behind Detroit, so same goes for them.

I don't expect either will happen.  I could see the Caps coasting and playing around .500, but they'd have to have an awful collapse and Detroit/Columbus would have to play better than any team so far this season to catch them.

I'd like to see the Caps end up in 3rd (or 2nd) place so they don't have to face the top teams 1st.  Caps trail the Rags by 4pts for 3rd in Metro

Not that it's really going to matter come May.

and it was either this or animal poop
