Anderson.... We could easily get lit up tonight. Hopefully not though.
-
Whoop....there it is!
:banana: :banana: :banana:
-
Nice to see Willy in the lineup (assuming that he actually is)
Sgarbossa getting in...good for him. Is this his first NHL game in with the Caps?
His stats show 50 NHL games - 2 with the Caps? When was this?
-
I’m getting conflicting info on the starting goalie, should know in the next hour

Thought I heard Vanecek.. We'll see!
-
I'd be a LITTLE surprised if it wasn't Vans, but then with so many games...basically every other day, they got to give one to Anderson eventually.
I'd put Vans in tonight, Anderson Thursday then you have Vans ready for Boston Saturday....and maybe Sammy back by then? Didn't he actually test positive and not just on the naughty list?
Not sure how long they have to be asymptomatic and negative testing before a player can return, but by Saturday, he'd have missed his mandatory 4 games and out of contact for....about 10 days from the 20th to the 30th.
Go Caps
-
Let's GO CAPS!

-
Thought I heard Vanecek.. We'll see!
nhl.com is listing Vanecek as the starter but is also listing Samy as the backup ::)
dailyfaceoffdotcum lists Anderson as starting and Vanecek as the backup, right now I believe this one
technically Willy is still listed as a game time decision, but everyone seems to think he's playing tonight
and the game is on the plus channel tonight because of basket making
-
Bruce is doing pregame with Alan and guido
-
I scrolled down the twitter list as far as I could stand.. Didn't see anything about the goalie. Plenty about the 3rd jersey though! :) ::) :smirk:
-
Willy is not on the ice for warmups..

good or bad
-
The most important thing to me tonight is someone going after Anders Lee and making him stand up for his "interference" on Backstrom in the playoffs last year. Make this game a blood bath. Even without Wilson we've got a tough enough team to beat them up!
-
good or bad
I didn't read any of the comments. Just saw the pics and headlines that they'll be wearing them tonight..
Bummer about Wilson.. :-( We may be in for a spankin'.
-
Chara could earn a lot of Brownie points with the boys by grabbing a hold of him.
-
lines updated, starting lineups need to be given to the zebras by 5pm for a 7pm game. It's fukin annoying when you can't get them until 6:50
-
Morning all.
Get ready for a shelacking! :-|
-
Oooh! Van the Man in the net. ;D
-
Now that kit is ust WRONG! O-O
-
Is it my imagination or do we start running out of gas around the 10 minute mark of periods? We usually start fast, but now were getting beat to pucks..
-
Whoo Hoooo!
-
Norris! :snicker:
-
Hurry up and get that dinner fixed boy, ya missed it! :raspberry:
-
Wonderful.. :-\
-
Chatty bunch tonight.. :wackysmile:
-
I thought that was a decent first. :wackysmile:
-
Looks like I'm the only one who hasn't fallen asleep tonight. :yawn:
-
When do you reckon the scrapping will start?
I guess towards the end of the second period.
-
Is it something I said? :huh:
-
Hell even Mickey's bailed.
-
I really don't like thst new kit. :O=
-
Their Pelech is having a rough night. :sick:
-
Looks like I'm the only one who hasn't fallen asleep tonight. :yawn:
I'm here. Just being quiet.
-
Some great pressure there. :clap:
-
I'm here. Just being quiet.
S'not like you. :snicker:
-
bullshit, the defender jumped into the glass
-
WTF was that from Chara?
-
S'not like you. :snicker:
I know.
-
Bugger.
-
Glad Backus is back.
-
Let the whippin begin.. 10-2 shots this period, all but what, 1 shift in the wrong end of the ice? Yay! :wackysmile:
-
Anyone knowanything about this Srgossa fella?
All I heard is that he is 28 years old and played 2 ames for us before???
-
another bullshit call
-
::) Sigh. Here we go again. :bs:
-
another bullshit call
Yup you see that let go several times every game and they decide to call that one.
-
So that's interference now? Good to know..
-
Sprong sprung it :)
-
Spronger! Nice, since we've played 15 of the 17 minutes in our own end this period..
-
Good PK
GOOD LAD!
-
We can take some penalties now..
-
I hope those splinters are really hurting for our guys riding the pine right now. :raspberry:

There's better one, where he does the whole eyebrow thing. :lmao:
-
this is not good
-
and that is what boarding looks like
-
OUCH!!!!
-
and that is what boarding looks like
This will be 5
-
boys better take advantage of this
-
It had bloody better be, or I will go over there myself and punch him in the face! :angry:
-
Ouch
-
C'mon ffellas!
-
Oh FFS! Stop fannying about!
-
What a fucking waste.
-
:clown: :poop:
-
Eller should be pissed. He gets beat and that’s the power play? Of course, we have no players.
-
Backus is gone again???? 8-0
-
8-0
SCHULTZ. !!!!!!!
-
Holy fuckking crap! Somebody called Schultz actually scored for us! :lmao:
-
Wow!
-
Great win!!!!
-
Great win!!!!
considering how many starters are out, yes
-
And we WON!
:wackysmile: :wackysmile: :wackysmile:
The comms said Jeff, just before they corrected it...... :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
-
How the hell could have we won this game with half our team out.
-
Caps win it in regulation !!!
-
Schultz appears to be fitting into this system.
-
Time for a beer!
-
Both Backus and Eller out for the last few minutes.
WHAT a result.
I honestly thought we would get mullered before the game started.
Props to Locker for jinxing Varly. :)
I did NOT expect that.
-
Huge props to Van the Man. 8) Not sure how Silly Sammy can claim starter now.
-
This team looks great. Our "shutdown" line is playing unbelievable. Eller will be out for awhile. I'm assuming we see scarbossa will stay in the lineup for at least one more game after tonight's performance. Wilson better be back next game. Between that hit on Eller and last year's hit on Backstrom, I could care less about the 2 points for the win Thursday night. Let's get those cheap shot artists next game in the back alley and not let them breath! Time to show who the toughest team in the league is. Take no prisoners! Lol
-
Is it okay if I post in Lil’s thread? ;D
Boys looked great in the first. I don’t know what Panik and Hathaway did in the off season but I like it. They both have looked better this year.
Next game is gonna be rough. We will get Willie back but doubt Eller plays Thursday. He doesn’t get enough credit for the level of work he does.
Sounds like Pinho was dinged too so we are going to be short some centers. Hopefully Backy is just dinged and will be back ... playing with all your top three centers out would be tough
Spronger good today. Shultz good today. Hathy and Panik good
Nice team win. Lots of guys chipping in.
Charra looked like doo doo but it happens
Hags boarding call was joke...player jumped at the boards. Backy interference was horse shit too. Has anyone noticed they are not showing replays on many of the calls this year.
And what the fuck....My Dish broadcast was on a secondary channel and not HD
Not that I’m a snob but you have 600 channels and you can’t find one in HD for this game?
Hockey on an HD tv broadcast in SD is total dogshit. It’s blurry and hard to even see the puck. What a drag
Good win. Go Caps
Don’t care for the new sweater
-
It was a great performance by our guys, for sure. :clap: One I definitely wasn't expecting.
I have been really impressed by some of the goungers and some of the older "newbies" also.
What a wonderfull beacon of light for this team and it's fans.
:peacock:

Meh, .. okay........ :raspberry:
Not sure why you have such a hard on for Z ??? He's been pretty solid. In fact, given that he's new here, I think his conduct has been exemlarary and his leadership, without question. He has a knack of "steadying the ship". I like him.
Oh, I meant to say i agree with most of the rest of your post, especially about Eller.

You're whinging about not seeing stuff in HD? You know I have to watch this stuff on my little laptop, huh? Through links and streams? There is NO way that you will ever win a battle about a bad link, or feed with me. Give over! ::)
And yes the new kit is crap.
-
Damn, good win with half the team on the sideline. 4, no 5 of our goal scorers out. If we're w/o Eller and or Nicky (and or Wilson) on Thursday, Im with the Canadian.. Just beat a bunch of ass!!

I don't really. I thought he was a good signing at that figure...for many reasons.
Last night He DID lay a perfect pass into the slot onto the opponents stick for an easy goal though. (should have given him an assist) That was why I said he was doo-doo. He gave up the go ahead goal. Looked like an bonehead Orlov sighting.
Also, He is big and solid and moves guys in the crease, but he is not very mobile. I have seen him get beat around the corners with speed several times. I know he uses his size and reach and experience and smarts.
But...on the PK especially - against quick puck moving teams, I prefer a mobile guy back there on D who can react to movement. He is more stagnant type of stand in the crease and watch guys buzz around. Just a different style that suits his skills. I prefer a PK that attacks the puck and not just stands around and waits for something to happen. That was Caps from years ago and it drove me batty to watch teams just passing and circling and moving and the PK guys just sort of stood there waiting for a break instead of hounding the puck and creating a chance to clear.
It's not like he's Johnny Q Dylan Norris Carlson :raspberry:

well yeah but the game streams are in HD. And I have watched streamed games on my laptop at work- it's pretty good. Laptop at 3' is like my 60" HD screen at 10' distance :raspberry:
I literally could not see the puck at times. I toughed it out and lived through it. 8)
Felt like a really good win. Was good to see (well...sort of ...at least the part I could see)
-
NIce win. I have always thought the Caps should rotate some players in from time to time. Keeps guys on their toes, gives some hope to the younger guys and allows them to rest an older guy every now and then. A couple things.
Faceoffs - we stink and it costs us points. Get a faceoff coach - work on it every practice!
Shootouts - don't mess with the first three - Oshie, Kuzy, Backstrom but after that, why not try Eller every now and then, or now maybe Schultz. Ovi should not be one of the top 6 - although that would be insulting to our leader so I get why they keep him in it.

Wow!
I did
More props to :bad: ,
It doesn't look very good for our recent casualties though. Willy , Eller and Backus.
Are they mre seriously hurt than initially diagnosed?
Where the fuck is LOB? .... Yeah, I really should pay more attention to the minors

I hope the "Fantstic Four" are having a lovely time, watching other people take their jobs. :hopslam:

Unfortunately as soon as their clear, they'll all have their jobs back. Orlov makes too much money and Sammy barely got a shot. But he better look sharp! And Orlov may be trade bait at the deadline.

Meh! I think I've got a little too deep into "hockey time frame". :-|

Dagnammit. My keyboard is sticky. It takes a whle to corredt the mstaes.. Somtimes I just dont bother.. :wackysmile:
I'm fine with getting riid of or tradng both of them.
-
Who's the other fella?
Oh yeah Semiin mark 2. :(
-
Me thinks Lil was into the sauce. ;)
That or she went back to DC's school of remedial speed typing. :wackysmile:
-
I thought Backy was just "dinged" by a puck to the face? Did he have another issue at the end of the game? I do realize he was out at the end of the game.
I'd expect Willy will be back tonight....he skated with the team prior to last game and then was game time decision. If he was nursing something, I'd expect with the number of casualties he'll be in tonight (not that I would push ANY injury to rush back...especially with THE future of this team)
If Backy and Eller are both out - I think we are toast for next game. Your only starting regular center is your fourth line (okay third line) guy? Not nocking Dowd, they have performed really well with the shut down tasks given, and sure they will keep that role and get more minutes, but with two/three subs centering new lines that haven't really played together, that's a tough row to hoe there.
Hey...good teams overcome adversity and find ways to win.
Let's do it.
Go Caps!
