it still annoys the shit outa me the way the media treats the teams for radio
106.7 is the better signal, the team that's at the end of the season and into the playoffs should have the better signal. In the spring that's hockey, in the fall that's baseball

And you know there's some kid making 60K + a year to "program" those channels.. Probably never even crossed their mind.

Howdy Lil :hearts: (no I aint skeered)
-
Heh Mantha with Nick & Oshie, 3 that can play center out at the same. 😈. Now were talking
-
GOOOOAAAAAAAL
SHEARY
-
Great hard working and sheer determination. :clap:
-
Sheary says...3rd line. Fuck it. I'm scoring!
-
Eller might have touched that
-
Great hard working and sheer Shear determination. :clap:
fixed it
-
Wasn't Alex Chaisson #39 for Caps?
-
:O=
:clown: :poop:
starting to look like Vtec is the #1
-
Sammy got to stop playing with the biscuit
-
Wasn't Alex Chaisson #39 for Caps?
yes, and Raffl wears Clarks old number
-
Why the Fuck would he (Sammy) do that?
That was just dumb.
-
Bloody Sammy!
Needs that bungee rope to keep him in his net.
-
Thats a week call. Could have been interference but Ovi gets a 4.2 on that dive.
-
I got a .454 Casull answer to that Moose :snicker:
-
THE BIG WILLY SCORES
PPG
-
BIG WILLY
-
Why the Fuck would he (Sammy) do that?
That was just dumb.
Sammy did get back in position. He would have made the save had in not been deflected. Still his mistake though.
-
I got a .454 Casull answer to that Moose :snicker:
didya? I got one because I wanted bigger than .44M, it might be too much
-
WiLLY! :)
-
Mantha and Willy on the same shift...Yikes. Don't want to get caught in the corners if you're a Flyer D
-
THE BIG WILLY SCORES
PPG
He has turned into one hell of a player.
-
didya? I got one because I wanted bigger than .44M, it might be too much
wishful thinking, but that's what popped in my head when I heard Moose 8)
And I figured you'd get that.
-
nice point Tony!
-
Looking at those Caps' D mugshots...
Charra could get a job in horror movies when his NHL career is up.
-
nice point Tony!
I keep wanting to call him Martha.
might have to try it at Ray Ray for a while. ALta ruined the Fat Tony already.
-
So Fat Tony Ray-Ray is looking good so far. 1st shift he diggs the puck off the boards for a legit scoring chance.
Get's an assist on his first PP.
-
Willy looks hurt
-
Nice thing about Big Tony Ray is he forechecks and also demoting SHeary and the Spronger gives the 3rd line and actual scoring punch.
Eller is a decent Center but he doesn't generate a whole lot of scoring.
Course...move Oshie down and Spronger up and you get a whole lot more out of that 3rd line.
-
it's another PP
-
BACKY PPG GOOOOAAAAALLL
-
Goa, I say Goa, I say Goalll!!! 3-1 good guys!
-
8-0 Wow! 2 for 2 on the PP!
-
SNIPE Backy
-
HAGS GOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLL
:) :) :) :)
-
Uh, make it 4-1.
-
HAGFISH!
-
There's a reason Philthy is likely not making the playoffs. They've allowed more goals than any team in the East and only Ottowa has allowed more in the NHL
-
Haggy baby
-
Now if we could just get that bumb Ovechkin to score
-
Caps have 10 players with 1 point, 4-1 after 1
-
Well, apart from that brain fart from Sammy, that was a pretty impressive first period.
Antman seems to be holding his own. ;D
-
I heard them say the 8 goals vs Boston was the most since 2010 vs Atlanta. That surprised me a bit with this squad.
Let's do it again.
-
Oh...I have the Caps intermission feed.
Alexa :hearts: and Alan.
I'm digging Alexa (and NO it has nothing to do with the fact I am a dirty old man) I think she's awesome at this. Good fit with this squad, speaks well, fast talker when she needs to be, seems to know her stuff.
About 1000 fucking times better than Eyeliner boy.
(Now if they would just make a greasy spot out of that Guido greaseball.) Give Alan May 5 minutes with him alone on the ice :uh-huh:
-

in my misspent youth a six pack was a two hour drive, just going from Reston to the Mason campus was was three drink drive

Need to stop turning the puck over behind our net.. Led right to that penalty..

His mom died. THey showed a little piece on intermission

Yeah...Big Cap Fans are Joe B's parents. Sounded like it was yesterday. WTF is Joe B doing here, but okay.

He just needs to drop the gloves now.

And not to be Debbie Downer, but..
It IS the Flyers.

-
I'm going to be disappointed with anything less than 8 goals tonight.
We need another in the 2nd period.
-
Halpren is a surprise on that list
Halpern had a total of ten fighting majors in his career so yeah....I was quite surprised by that

Caps are coasting. I know is only Filthy but try and remember what they did to yuns in the 80's
-
How did Backy not put that in
-
5-1 after 2, Caps need 3 more to be safe
-
5-1 after 2, Caps need 3 more (beers) to be safe

there was this

and there was one other one that wasn't as diplomatic, can't remember where I saw it
-
That was all memory. I didn't have to look that on up.
I actually recall watching that game. The others...nah.
and WHO is Ben Clymer? Apparently he makes luxury watches :wackysmile:

I'm on my last beer :'(
and its friggin light beer at that.

I do too. L3 could use a little more muscle, but..
-
Caps have to be one of the bigger teams in the NHL. If they didn't have that Sheary Smurf bringing down the average...
-
I do too. L3 could use a little more muscle, but..
good point, but considering the D pairings they will face we might get a lot of secondary scoring out of them. 73 has really impressed lately and 10's speed will make it easier to forget about 13. Both 77 and 39 have great hands and can snipe but are realatively slow. I think the upcoming pens/bruins matchups will show where the holes are.....
-
I missed Ovi's goal. My computer crashed. :angry:
-
Put Chara with Dillon out there with
Ovie, Wilson, Mantha
and you've got 1162 pounds of Caps hockey :uh-huh:

I wonder if they try Oshie on 3RW and move up Spronger to spread it out. Oshie makes any line better. Both Spronger and Sheary have been pleasant surprises. Spronger has serious wheels and wicked release like Ovie. Sheary Smurf just seems to know where to be.
I could see that happening as he gets older and needs more rest 8-0
-
I really wanted 7G tonight for a nice 15 in two games
-
I missed Ovi's goal. My computer crashed. :angry:
Meh...It's only one of ....728?

Every one is special. :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

-
Fat Tony Ray-Ray looks like a better fit on this team. He can certainly have a bigger realistic (playoff success) impact than Vrana.
I'm not knocking Vrana, but he dug his own grave here. Watching him score that OT winner and then pouting like a lil bitch right after made me mad. No excuse for that.
But then I'm old school hard hitting hockey kind of guy so....
Although I will admit Peter Bondra was one of my favorite Caps ever. (along with Huntsy, Langway & Ovie)
-
That's a win
:)
-
Six goals. Bunch of slackers!
-
it's only one game but this looks like a big improvement over Vrana
Ya I'm liking Mantha. I'm still shocked that Detroit let him go. I really don't understand why they dealt him, he is still under contract, he is just reaching his prime.
Glad we got him though.
-
Mantha got #2 star of the game, Sheary #1
Sammy was 3
-
Nice Debut for Mantha. He had to have like 6 shots and at least 3-4 good scoring chances. I hope he really gels with this team and makes us a real threat. (although I worry about our goaltending)
Good for him. Good for us.
Go Caps.
-
Ya I'm liking Mantha. I'm still shocked that Detroit let him go. I really don't understand why they dealt him, he is still under contract, he is just reaching his prime.

Yeah, like they are rebuilding, but...he's 26?
-
Yeah, like they are rebuilding, but...he's 26?
and three years still on his contract
Vrana will be a free agent at the end of the season, he better make better impression in hockey town than he did here recently
-
Love they got a win and Fat Tony Ray-Ray gets 2 pts and a GOOD game in his debut.
We shall see how it goes when we play a contender...
although I DO believe Fat Tony makes for a much harder player for any team to play against.
Go Caps
and WTF...they cut my feed to postgame?
Peace out peeps.
-
and three years still on his contract
Vrana will be a free agent at the end of the season, he better make better impression in hockey town than he did here recently
I don't wish anyone ill will, but if Vrana doesn't get his head out of...the dark...he will be looking for a new team next year.
I hope he finds his game and is a positive for the Wings...(until they face the Caps in the SC finals)
-
And GMBM was heard to say..."Yeah, Baby!"
-
Sammy actually played pretty well...except for that one total brain fart gift. Although....Flyers, so....
-

You should give the Flyers a little more respect. Their struggles have been more in the defensive zone and goaltending. They aren't a bad offensive team. So holding them to one goal is good.
It's not like they were playing the Sabres.
Not sure about you guys but I think what cost the Flyers was the Covid protocol. They had several games postponed and when they returned they played a ridiculous amount of games in a short period. I think that was when their season turned for the worse.
-

He did play well other than the turnover. But remember Vanecek has had some bad turnovers too. Samsonov is actually better at playing the puck than Vanecek.
I actually am liking Samsonov a little more than Vanecek.
-
Found this on Reddit.

He looked great last night, let's hope he keeps it up. From what I've read he can have consistency issues.
-
Well, the Fat Tony Ray Ray shit needs to stop before it starts.. He's either Mo or Manny.. Just sayin'. :raspberry:
-
agreed, mostly because it takes too long to type out fat Tony ray Ray when he scores
-
I like these lines!
Lines?!?! Where???
(🤣 sorry had too)

I like Sammy better for sure, but don't like either for the playoffs! (yet)
-

My guess is it won't take Locker too long before he starts calling him 'Manny'
