apparently OV cleared covid, Oshie is still out but I can’t find if he’s day to day or on IR




and they made a change to the PP, Eller on 1 Kuzy on 2   

[richkrt99]

I'll miss tonight.


Ovi's back?  (must be 'merica and not the increasingly "social" country to the north.)

What's wrong with Vitek?

I see Copely is in....says something about Sammy

Sheary top line...well he hustles enough for it.  Snively on second line....McMicael and Sprong just can't seem to muster the top line duties.

Not a whole lot of meat in this lineup.

Oshie is gonna be day to day the rest of the season

My PP aint working so great neither...maybe I need to make a change?


Mick...stay away from Sis.


Go Caps.  Hope the boys show up tonight.

Thought they might change something up in the approach to the PP after the AS break, but that 1st one looked identical to the last 3-4 years.. Struggle to get in the zone, Ovie standing like a statue in the office.. Nice tip attempt from Wilson "just missed".. That should be their theme.. "Just missed" 

[alta]

GOOOAAALLL!!!


Hathy !!!

[Mickstix]

Hathy!!

[alta]

DOWDER!!

[Mickstix]

Ofr 2 on the PP, Ofr 1 on the PK.. You know what that means! 

[alta]

 




technically not a PPG but Backy had only just stepped out of the box so may as well have been

[alta]

Ofr 2 on the PP, Ofr 1 on the PK.. You know what that means! 

I’ve never met Rich’s sister, is she nice??


 

[Mickstix]

She's the bomb! Can't get enough! 


Ovie better start scoring some goals.. That's really all they have to play for.

[Mickstix]

Time to go ofr 3 on the PP!!   

[alta]

Muh beer Kuzy with the PPG


 

[Mickstix]

Lucky deflection but we'll take it!

[alta]

bullshit call, Kuzy didn’t even have the puck, should’ve been interference

[alta]

 




 

[Mickstix]

Of3 on the PK!    Give Forsythe an extension!!

[Mickstix]

PK is 3 for 9 over the last 3 games..
