I feel the best shot we have is with VV, but Sammy did start all 3 vs Florida this year so Lavs will most likely do the same....................
Either way, Go Caps!! Playoffs baby!!!!
-
VV in goal for game 1.. Hope they bring their A game! Let's GOoooooo...
-
I'm ok with VV, he can get hot as well.
Watched the Blues/Wild and TB/Toronto last night. All four of those teams are fast, fast, skilled and nasty. I'm kinda glad we got Florida.
For us to have any chance, we have to have Mantha, Backstrom and Oshie play at high levels. Then, we are gonna need everybody else have their best games and some lucky bounces..... so, we can do this!

So you're saying there is NO chance :-\ And I'd agree.
-
I'm fine with VV. He actually worries me less. Sammy has some better hopes at incredibleness, but he is suspect way too often.
Florida is gonna be tough, but I'd rather play FLA then Toronto. They just look so fast.
Gonna need all those lucky bounces thought...and VV playing well, and Ovie, and.....
-
The Blues/Wild is the only game I didn’t see any of last night. The east games were unimpressive, the Kings/Oilers game was good.
-
Kings/Oilers was a good touch match. I would be happy if the Caps come out hitting everything that moves regardless of the score. Maximum pain in game 1, they have the bodies to do it.

What he said...and here's your theme song...

If we get the team that went into Colorado and handed them a rare home loss, in impressive fashion, we can win this series.
If we get the team that finished the year 0-4, we may go 0-4 in this year's playoff.
Shit - just saw that Hornqvist is on their 4th line - as if I needed another reason to root against Florida!
Thanks alta for the GDT.
-
Fuckin commies blacked out JoeB and Locker down here.. Guess I'll be streaming the series. :raised-eyebrow:
-
Only 2 minutes? :raised-eyebrow: 1st bit of bull :poop: on the night.
-
gotta get that pp up
-
GOOOOAAAALLLL
not a pp from Willy !
-
Wil SON!!!
-
Morning chaps. :wackysmile:
Cant get a bloody link to work. :praying:
-
Whoooo Hooooo! I'm up nd running!
:banana: :banana: :banana:
Only took 6 minutes...... :smirk:
-

the NHL66 link works, over here anyway
-
I get the impression that Gudas doesn’t like his former team
-
Willy just went to the locker room 8-0
hopefully he just needs to adjust something
-
Yea Gudas tryin to be all hard. :snicker:
Mornin Lil! NHL66 stream here as well..
-
pucker
-
There's that stellar goaltending.. :clown: :poop:
-
Florida is real close to interfering on just about every rush
-
damn and blast. :-(
-
Unfortunately with our goaltending we can't really afford to miss all those opportunities we had. And if we're gonna beat these guys, VV or Sammy need to stop a few of those.
-
Yea Gudas tryin to be all hard. :snicker:
Mornin Lil! NHL66 stream here as well..
"NHL 66" not in the stream list. :huh:
No matter. A decent link is working for me.
Ta chaps. :hearts:

1 up from the bottom in the Game Streams thread.
-
I think he does that on purpose..
Willy was back on the bench at the end
-

"volokit"? Nope
-
Anyway.. Decent 20 minutes to start. Keep it up and see how it shakes.
-
:O=
bad rebound
-
"volokit"? Nope
there’s 12 posts in that thread, most have links in them, you gotta scroll down
-
and now Willy is not on the bench
:huh:
-
Caps being Caps - take a lead then give up a late first and early 2nd period goal. UGH!!!!
-
Well :clown: :poop:
And I guess Alexa was mistaken. No Willy. :-\
I hope Gudas keeps fucking with Ovi.. Pissed off Ovi is hard to stop!!
-
what a load of shit from these zebras
-
Pretty bad when the Florida player knows the penalty is on him and actually gets into the penalty box only for the refs to fuck the call up and make sure it's on the Caps.,
-
PK looks good at least
-
end of the 1st nhl still said Willys goal was not a PPG, but now it is
::)
-
So, during the "commercial breaks" I switch audio to the National feed.. Fl giving much more info about Wilson then our guys.. Said he came out during that tv time out, took a couple laps and went back in.. :-\
-
"LET'S GO CAPS"
-
Somebody got to beat Bob god dammit.. >:(
-
if the linesman would quit dicking around it might not be an issue
-
Fuck going down 3-1.. Need a shorty! :cross:
-
I'm starting to find this hard work. :yawn:
-
FFS. CAPS are outplaying them except for the goaltending.
Ducking zebras gave them a goal and the other was bad rebound after a stupid icing
And Willy getting hurts wipes this team out of the playoffs
-
Sounds like Willy pulled something? Hope he heals quick. We definitely don't win a series here w/o him..
-
Fucking 5 goals in the last 4 games.. :O= Need some offense from somewhere..
-
Yup. Time for some Big Boy pants.
-
I wish our D would at least TRY to pressure their offense sometimes, instead of gliding away from them at a safe distance and randomly sweeping their sticks.
-
Geez.. Goals are going extinct for us. :(
-
Their guys have better shooting skills than we do. The only way we score now is on rebounds.
Mantha thinks he is Kuzy now and just glides around trying to make fancy plays. Doesn't play with energy and is not physical. Waste of a big body with talent.
-
Rags and Hens just went to OT
-
Nicky lost his legs and Oshie lost his hands. And Wilson is out.. :)
And I agree.. Mantha needs to earn some of that 5+ million he's getting..
-
KUUUUUUUUUZYYYYY
-
Kuzy!!!!
-
This team goes as Kuzy goes
Would be nice to have a big Willy out there though
-
I think Bob got his stick on that Kuzy shot
-
I remember Andre Brunnette. Did he wear #8!for the caps?
Maybe #18?
-
39 starts finishing checks and good things happen who da thunk
-
Whoooo Hooooo!
There's life in us yet. :uh-huh:
-
OSHIE
-
Sr Citizen Line scores!!! Oshie from Nicky!!!
-
Fk yeah!!
-
I told you Backy and Oshie would get it done :wackysmile:
-
OSHIE baby!!!!!!!!!
-
EEEEEELLLEEEERRRR
ENG
-
BOOM!!
-
Fuck yea!! Empty netter Eller!!!! 4-2 LATEEEEEEEE in the game!!!
-
VV FIR THE WIN!!!!!!!!
-
I am so far behind you guys tonight.
-
I am so far behind you guys tonight.
spoiler alert, Caps win
-
hell of a game from the Caps tonight
:clap: :clap: :clap:
-
Looks like Bennet left his feet on that hit on Carlson.
-
spoiler alert, Caps win
:snicker: You bad Alta..
-
Hell yeah. Vitek looked more solid in the third. Pretty stable
That first goal was weak IMO
Caps outplayed them. Makes it tough to watch when you losing a game you are outplaying
Beat FLA at home baby
Now….as long as my Big Willie is working next game …
Go Caps
-
Welp, guess we play till next Wednesday at the very least! Well deserved win! Need Wil SON back though.. Good game Vanny!! See you guys Thursday!
-
I didn’t really know what to expect from the Caps tonight, but they did much better than expected
-
Damn - never thought we'd win this one. Might be a pyrrhic victory though if we lose both Willy and Carlson.
-
YAY! Shot to nothing goes in! :P
Some peeps did put their Big Boy pants on.
And guess what! It was the old fogies! :raspberry:
Let me see......... Oshie, then Eller. Backy with the assist. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
"OLD FARTS RULE"
-
Reading some of the twitter.. Lightning fan rags on the Cats, asked what happened.. Cat fan replies "Your ugly and fat" :rofl:
-
Just read Carlson left with an injury late? Cheap shot to the head? :raised-eyebrow:

One half of me wants to make a joke about that. The more normal half of me is worried. I hope he's okay.

Rags and Hens going to OT2
-
We're not going to get swept. :koolaid:
No brooms for us this round. :wgt:
:wackysmile:
:lmao:
-
Carlson should be fine. Didn't look that bad. Hope Willy didn't pull something.
Gotta love Sheary. That little guy is fearless.
If we keep stepping up into them at our blue line, we might have a long series. Oshie nailed a guy and they have to watch out for Orlov. We really slow them down when we hit that way and that is their big advantage.
-
Okay, nearly 1/4 to 4 here now.
Sweet dreams peeps.
:hearts:
-
Well, well wasn't that a nice surprise?:)
-
Wait? What? That was real? I didn't dream that?
Well fuck yeah. Go Caps!
also...fell asleep trying to finish the Hens/Rags....sometime after 2nd OT. Fuck that Shrek and his whole fucking team :raised-eyebrow:
