Caps win 4-1
-
I hesitate to point this out, but.. if the Caps win and Carolina loses in regulation tonight the Caps will be in 2nd in the Metro.
-
No TVR, no Fever, no Edmundson [though really, is that a loss since we haven’t seen him all year] and Sandin a game time decision. We could be without 4 of the 6 defenseman we pinned in at the start of training camp. And, it’s a back-to-back.
Hoping for the best, expecting the worse.

Morning chaps. :wackysmile:
-
Hey ‘Lil - got your stream working?
-
Ok, let's go..

Looks like we've managed to flog our awful blue kit to the Isles. :snicker:
-
Hey ‘Lil - got your stream working?
For now.......... :cross:

I think Joe is about done with the "experiment" as well. "Phillips shouldered off the biscuit" :rofl:

The first one seems to be working okay so far.

Sandin has a “sore face” from that forearm he got last night. I suspect it’s a broken nose.

:O=
:clown: :poop:

Oy vey
-
Meh, Ovi scored, FINALLY. I'm happy. :wackysmile:
-
Shepard looked good until that mistake at the end of the 1st.
-
Probably best if he hadn’t gone back there.
-
Looks like we've been on a 5 minute PK.
-
Aw hell, a PP!!! :raspberry:
Think I read we're like 0 fer 15. lol

GOOOAAALLLL

* Shepard
** Ovi
*** Protas

I am tired, but happy. ;D
2 from Ovi and I thought Shepard played realy well, apart from that one brain fart at the end of the first, which would have been fine if our Dman hadn't lost his skate.
Back to back wins. Who'd have thunk it!
Sweet dreams my luvverlies. :yawn:
:hearts:
-
That PP stat is sad.. 3 fer 38 on the season
-
I love when the games "we should win" gets notched up a bit,...............
-
Ovie on pace for 12 empty net goals. He has 41% of his career empty netters since 2019. Not the way to set the goals record, IMO.
-
Wonder what they're gonna look like when Pach starts playing? He has to be slow as molasses coming off 2 achilles tears.

He'll look like a speed demon compared to Oshie.
-
^^^ This is true! lol
On the bright side, if he can't keep up, he's not an Oshie or Nicky (to the Caps) and his $2m isn't enough to avoid the pine! So, either he helps or he sits, imo.
-
Pacs has a no movement clause on his contract. He signed for $2M but could make $4M with performance bonuses at 10($1M), 15(500k) and 20(500k) games played this season. Though I’m guessing management could always waive him if necessary.
