Da plane! Da Plane!
:banana: :banana: :banana:
I see McMichael is in. Good for him. Hope he earns it. I thought he played well with Oshie/Sheary in preseason.
Samsonov...Hmmmm. I thought Vitek had played well enough to keep the net. I know they intend to use both guys, but still. (Not that I have it in for Sammy)
Doubt I contribute much tonight from the rink...eyes are too damn old to be seeing that little phone screen. (and they might be just a tad bit blurrier than normal) Although not sure I want the wife driving the Yukon after the game in a garage OR in DC for that matter. She can barely manage her little Honda out in the boonies where there's no traffic.
Anyone have any recommendations for a quickish dinner before the game near the rink? I know there's tons of stuff right there, but I don't venture there much.
Masks are required in Capital One Arena at all times except when eating or drinking. Guess who's going to have to keep busy NOT wearing a mask :uh-huh:
GO CAPS. Hope it's a good one.

you post updates at intermissions and commercial breaks, ya amateur :raspberry:
also, best food in the arena is on level two, the restaurant or the side places, it's also going to be easiest unless you get down there 2 hours early
if weren't a school night, Id hang around after the game to let traffic die down and get chinese at that place on H and 6th opposite corner of the arena, its good stuff, made by actual mandarin speaking people

Prolly not getting there till six so.... looks like it's $15 beers and $12 pretzels
Level 2 is where we at anyway. Section 201, I think (er....maybe 203 - my son has the tickets). On the Caps shooting end twice.
-
I think MacKinnon has Covid so he's out.
I get to see that Bearakowski guy though. :wackysmile:

MacKinnon was cleared this morning
-
Who's MacKinnon?? (that probably won't age well) But yea, he was cleared this morning.
-
Let's GO CAPS! I anticipate a win tonight, a lot of their guys are out. (oh yeah, Kadri is an asssssss)
I'll get extra tickets one day here soon/throughout the season.
When I do - I'll post to see who is available to go,
it'll probably be later in the day though(sometimes it's like 5 or 6 when I find out).
-
Let’s get it on!!!

Want JoeB and Locker instead of ESPN stuff.

I bet 99% of the shorties we give up are due to a stupid lateral pass at the blue line.. Skate that shit in or dump it and go dig it out of the corner.
Jensen gets us the lead back!
-
Yeah Nick! Nice guy, met him at the blood drive at Kettler or whatever it's called now.
-
That was nice goal by Jensen. Lifted it in pretty tight

At least Big Tony does go to the net
Paid off for him
-
That's two for Kuzy!!!!
-
There's that top 6!! Now do Ovi and Wilson! :wackysmile:
-
Kuzy has to be the smoothest skater ice ever seen
Looks like absolute no effort and he just skates circles around folk
-
I forget which video I was watching, I believe it was figure skater coaches
Olympic skater, spotted out Kuzy for his skating skills.
Four figure skating coaches judged the Capitals’ skaters. Guess who got top marks. - The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capitals-insider/wp/2018/02/12/four-figure-skating-coaches-judged-the-capitals-skaters-guess-who-got-top-marks/)

For the most part…
Ava look like cold doo-doo
-
I think cold doo doo is better than hot doo doo.

Well. If you ate picking it up then yeah
-
That was Big Tony’s 100th career goal BTW
-
Did yuns all go do laundry during the break or what?
-
And apparently….
Terry McAuliffe wants to strip the rights of parents to have a say in their children's education. It's time to say 'NO' to radicals who stand against parents in education. Parents matter.
-
Dowd! 5-2 good guys!
-
Dowder!!!
Nice forecheck fellas
-
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
-
Did the Avs fly in at 4am or something? They look tired
-
Did yuns all go do laundry during the break or what?
depends, tonight... yes
-
5 goals and no points for OV
-
Um. It was worse in person.
-
FFS. Can we quit it with this horse shit
-
Gordy is rolling in his grave FFS
-
Ha. Big Tony had the pizza on his stick there
-
Fully expecting a PPPP here
-
Or a hattie
Or an Ovi sighting
-

-
That red just stole my pizza
And that has to be the worst fucking call ever

Home now. Good game. Good times.
I-66 was a Royal bugger. Shut down to one lane in 4 or 5 places.
10 minutes to escape the arena. 10 minutes to escape the parking garage and 15 to evacuate the city.
And then 70 minutes for what should have been 25 of highway driving
But we was pumping some throw back tunes so good times
Go caps
-
Really surprised Avs looked so bad. They were missing a couple guys but I still thought they would wax us.
McMichael was ok, but didn't seem to have the energy I expected from somebody playing their first game. I'll give him a pass though and really hope he develops quickly.
-
I agree with Beags... I thought the Avs were supposed to be a real contender. Did not look like much all game.
Only 3-4 games in and it's a long season, but they didn't have it last night, that's for sure.
-
Here's the Kuzy-Jagr I spotted at the game. He's wearing a Jagr 68 Caps jersey white/blue/black Eagle one.
After I spotted....which has got to be the only Caps/Jagr jersey I have ever seen at the rink, I noticed he looked like Kuzy. (and the guy wearing #8 looks kinda like Orpik) :wackysmile:
-
One other thing to note from the experience last night. When the garage says 6'-5" clearance, they really mean 6"-4"

which garage?
years ago with a previous truck that was slightly lifted I had an argument at a garage down there. They didn't want to let me in, I said if their signs are accurate it will fit. I had no problem, but drove real slow.
