Kind of a big game.. Hope they look better then they did vs Carolina.


* Sheary out illness, Sammy in goal. (Crosby, Marina, Zohorna game time decisions due to illness, Jarry in goal)

[alta]

official start time is 3:15   

[alta]

Crosby was a scratch against the Rags with the non wuhan flu, hopefully he’s still dragging a bit

[Surreylily]

Evening all.   

I might be able to stay awake for this one.....
Thank the Lord they stopped putting Mojo on the top line.   

[Mickstix]

So far the announcers have told us how bad the Pens have had it this year with illness and injury.. lol

[Surreylily]

Have you seen who the refs are?

We're in for a rough game.

[Surreylily]

What is it with Sammy and these first minute goals?   

Does he not do a proper warm up ever?

[alta]

Johansson ties it 16 seconds latter. First goal for MoJo as a Cap since April 8 2017

[Surreylily]

Nice.     

[Mickstix]

Delayed penalty goals wiping out the penalty are stupid. They still have 5 players on the ice. I hope Dowd beats the shit out of Crosby later..


Anyway, Orly!!! 2-1 Good guys!

[alta]

crosby is such a little bitch

[alta]

GOOOAAALLL


ORLY

[alta]

Vanecek starts the 2nd

[Surreylily]

Oh good grief.

[Mickstix]

Samsoftnov strikes again.. And again.    Nice smelly, stinky, Caps like D zone turnover by Manta as well.. 

[Mickstix]

Winning team gonna have 6 or 7 goals today.. 

[alta]

why is it so hard to get announcers that aren’t obviously rooting for one team
