Morning chaps.   
Glad coacg saw sense and put Willy in the first line and Mojo on the third.   

[Surreylily]

Thank goodness we're back to proper kit.   

[capsfanpdx]

Do like the second line now!

[Mickstix]

Oh well, ass kicking in the making. 


Carolina in exactly the right places. Caps losing every board battle, fumbling around with the puck when they do get in the zone.. And were only 5 minutes in! 

[Surreylily]

It's all a bit haphazard so far.   

[Surreylily]

Van being hung out to dry again.   

 

[capsfanpdx]

Canes getting all the bounce, probably will shift in the second.......

[Mickstix]

Didn't know Haglin was back..   

[capsfanpdx]

Caps need to turn this into physical game....................

[Surreylily]

The hockey Gods giveth.  Then thay taketh it away.   

[Mickstix]

Showing the Oshie/Wilson ritual going into break. And Wilson handing out pucks during the game we're getting dominated in.. These guys are all business!! 

[Surreylily]

Glad that period is over.
Maybe we can start playing in the next, instead of running around like headless chickens.

Might be a tall ask.. Fast, responsible teams will make us look bad most of the time. We're too slow to find space and not strong enough to create any.. Next we'll discuss the D.

that call on Oshie was horse shit


still got 2 periods left, plenty of time
