Canes also played last night so no advantage there

Wonder if Eller is back? If he, Snively and Oshie miss, do we even have a spare forward? 7 D tonight? :huh:
-

The Caps called up Vecchione a couple days ago, he’d be the extra foreword if needed
and, I’m not sure if Canada has released Eller from being kidnapped yet
-
this got posted about 5:15ish, Sammy in, Oshie not ruled out…

Pull him..
:clown: :poop:
-
I'm with Mick on this one. That's pretty week. Maybe he was screened but....Pffffffffff
-
Not to worry....Canes are easy to score on :-|
-
Canes have lost only 4 games at home this year.
I'm predicting a shutout.
-
Another fucking SNIPE by Kuzy.. Damn!!
-
To clarify... a shutout by the Canes goalie.
As in the Canes goalie will get a shutout against the Caps tonight
(The Caps will be shutout by the Canes goalie)

You jinxed him! 2 minutes late, but we'll count it anyway. ;) :snicker:

I was typing this when Kuzy sniped the corner
-
Carlson gets one!
-
Sammy is just out of position too often at seemingly random times.
-
8-0
Mr Norris
-
this is the best season Kuzy has had in a few years
-
Carlson gets one!
Pretty good shot there. Nice movement by McMichael.
And GT 5-hole was open cause Spronger was driving the lane
-
I really like SHeary's play. He is always in it, and He fits anywhere you put him. He actually compliments Ovie/kuzy pretty well cause he hussels and actually plays both ends.
-
Fuuuck.. Looked like Dowd messed up his shoulder. :-(
-

Must be made of glass...he barely touched him.
-
Wait. I'm confused...are they allowing hits in hockey now?
:wackysmile:
-
That's week on Mantha. That hit was a split second after the whistle.
-
Refs at it again tonight.. "Roughing".. lol
-
fukin OV blows a 3 on 1
-
Just shoot the fucking puck Ovi..
-
Horrible pass by Ovi. He almost had a breakway alone, but fumbled it at his own blue line
-
3 on 1 you got to pass early then bounce it back for the tap in
-
Mick your grand daughter is looking fine tonight (Alexa)
And shit... I thought I'd be bailing on this game and actually going home by now.
Gonna have to stay for period 2
-
You guys are on your summertime, aren't you...... ::)
-
Alexa is fair game! No relation here! :hearts:
Yes Lil, our clocks have moved up an hour.. Didn't Alta tell you this last night? :huh:
Looks like the Canes are countering hits with their elbows up? :raised-eyebrow:
-
Yes Lil, our clocks have moved up an hour.. Didn't Alta tell you this last night? :huh:
I mst've missed it.
-
I thought that went in?
-
Jeez...Spronger got a wicked shot, bummer that didn't go.
They should sit him a couple-three games for missing that. :raspberry:
-
I thought that was in. Off the crossbar it eems
-
:O= :O=
:poop: :clown:
-
I mst've missed it.
:-|
-
Sammy should have had that.
I'm done with him. :stirringupshit:
-
Sammy should have had that.
I'm done with him. :stirringupshit:
He'll probably be gone by next week..
-
No Oshie, No PP.. :clown:
-
Poo Poo
-
At least Dowd is back!
-
The Canes have 10 shots on goal in the game?
-
How did the Refs "miss" the hit to Hathy's head? He was looking right at it and the dude forearmed him in the back of the head and bounced his head on the glaess?
-
:poop: :poop: :poop:
:clown: :O=
-
:clown: :poop: Defense.
-
That was rubbish.
Time for some Big Boy pants, methinks.
-
Fucking Caps and the last half minute,
And my complaint with this is they called an icing call which is fine, but that came after a "delayed offsides" on Canes when there was a Cane in the O-zone and the D dumped it in to make a change....that's intentional offsides and should have been a whistle and a faceoff in Canes zone. Small detail....but the icing call that followed led directly to the Canes goal.
Fucking zebras.
-
We looked outta gas that period.. Need to try and scrap out a point here. :praying:
-
Time for you to call out some players, Micky
-
Fuckin Ovi needs to shoot the puck!! No shots, no shot attempts through 40 minutes. :raised-eyebrow:
-
And....3 goals on 11 shots ain't cutting it. Not saying they were softies, but .7272 save % aint very good
-
How is that not holding.
How is that not boarding?
-
OUCH!
-
Kuzy needs to fly them the bird
-
8-0 No penalty.
No concussion protocol.
-
that wasn’t a damn trip
-
Kuzy needs to fly them the bird
You mean the dominant Russian Eagle that he does after he scores?
You SO need to get out more dude. O-O
-
That "good coverage" looked like interference to me.
-
Shoot the fucking puck you fucking idiots! :suicide: :angry:
-
The glass Capitals are breaking.
Not sure how well they can hold up to a long playoff run...short playoff series
-
WAKE UP OVI!
-
Old, beat up, outta gas.. Sprong, McMichael, AJF, Jensen.. One of them gonna need to step up and score a goal here.
-
Welp, here's the chance. See if they can grind out a goal on the PP.
-
Well Hot Damn - that dude just has some uncanny ability to score
-
Uh oh. A poo poo coming up.
-
OVI!!!!
-
Dude is trying to hump Hathy behind their net
-
8-0
OoooohhhhQ

:B:
-

-
Kuzy practices for the Ice Capades I thinkg :snicker:
-
Thats 39 for the old man right?
Im talking about 39 goals for Ovi
-
Scratched out a point!! Well done!! :clap:
-
extra time added
-
Thats 39 for the old man right?
Im talking about 39 goals for Ovi

-
I want to see Kuzy bury one here
-
I think that point ties us with Boston...unless they playing tonight
-
:phew:
Ovi saves the dy AGAIN and put his Big Boy pants on. :snicker:
How many gove aways have we done this fame Our passing has been appalling.
-
Damn, should of won it with one of those chances.. :-\
-
Backy looks like he's been skating with skis on :-\
-
great work from Snarls
-
Not sure why Carolina is upset with that call.
-
Kuzy from Backy coming here...for the win
-
Dumb by Kuzy but he ws totally slew footed
cross checked
-
Man! Orlov SOOO needs to shave that moosetache off.
-
Kuzy got tripped but gets called for a phantom slashing
-
Pffft.. Had too many chances to win it but didn't.. :-(
-
Clock ran 2 seconds after the whistle.. lol
They put it back.
Oh well, had plenty of chances in OT.. See how the shootout pans out.
-
Man! Orlov SOOO needs to shave that moosetache off.
Nah it goes when he lets his hair down...
-

Eh, I'll take 5 out of 6 standings points with our schedule the last 3 games.
I must say, I find it intriguing to see all the shouting about "shoot the puck" on a night the Caps have had 40 shots and outshot the Canes 2-1.
-
Can we paut Van in for the shootout... :goalie:
:lol: I was thinking the same thing,
But Sammy hasn't flinched so far
-
Ovi NEVER scores in SO
-
OOOOOVECHKIIIIIIIIIIIIN
WINS IT IN THE SHOOT OUT
-
Ovi with the back hander in the SO!! :P
-
HAHA...OVI says BOO this Mother Fuckers!
-
YEAH BABY!
-
Damn, 7-0-1 in their last 8.. Need to get some bodies healthy and give this shit a go!! :uh-huh:
-
Hot damn. Now that was worth staying at work and watching.
Pretty good win by the boys - had the better of the play for most of the game. Pretty physical. Hope Dowder isn't hurt badly or TVR.
TVR looks like he got it in the back of the ribs on the boards
-
Peace out Peeps. Hillbilly signing off....
Does that still count as Mick kissing my sister? I'm thinking no, that's a win :raspberry:
-

Yikees! Glad I didn't see this before the W.. That emoji is a full on jinx!! You'll hurt yourself playin with that thing!! :raised-eyebrow: lol

That was me and a direct response to a sequence where we kept passing until we lost the puck. Again.
Shooting the puck into their goalie's breadbsket is all good and fine, IF you have someone at the net ready for the revound. Not so much this game.
Frustrating to watch.
-

You need to read the quote.
Reverse jinx. :raspberry: :snicker:

you’ll hurt yourself flinging your bait under docks too
-
Not the best game by our boys, but a win is a win. I'd rather win scruffy than lose pretty.
And....
BIG BOY PANTS OVI!
Thanks babes. :whatahunk:
-

No sir! Been flingin' docks since I was knee high to a grass hopper! All good! :wackysmile:
-
damn shame OV doesn’t get credit for that goal
-
Watched it last night on the Canes TV channel. Their analyst was even more of a homer than Lachlin is for us. He was saying how good of a hit the boarding of Kuzy was. I'm surprised you guys didn't get more pissed about that. I thought it was a suspendable hit - if it was Willy, it would have been 10 games!
Thought TVR played his best game ever before he got hurt. He was feeling it and moving the puck with confidence.

I was yelling at the tv, but after seeing the replay a couple times I think the call on that hit could’ve went either way…
unless the guy was wearing 43
-
Sucked that he rocked Kuzy, but I didn't really think it was illegal. I didn't study it much though, just kept trying to see how Kuzy was afterward.

the only thing that made it look bad is the way Kuzy’s face appeared to hit the boards, if that was an open ice hit there would be no question it was clean
