I've forgotten what it's like to watch a Caps game and not be mad at the tv.. Hope we can score 1st and/or hold a lead for longer than a minute or two at least..
Maybe cause your old, and you play with your "thingy" to much. :P
LOL Rich!

Alta has probably even already made his damn dinner
7:30 :raspberry:
She’s still hot . . . yeah that sounds creepy, but for her age group . . . wows!For sure!
Sammy needs to work on his puck handling. That's an area where he could learn a lot from Holts.We need to get PHYSICAL. As I have been saying for weeks.
Our team needs to figure out the Canes. We're just getting out pressured and out worked
Surprised CAR hasn't scored a few times already
For sure!“Please Mister Please” is a good damn CLASSIC!
I spent a brief time at a country music station in D.C. answering the request line when I was a sophomore in H.S.. I used to go in a studio and blast Olivia Newton-John records.
I had a bit of a crush on her in the `70s.
<promg japs.
Start s you mean to g on, I saay.... :wackysmile:
::)
Have you been drinking, or taking typing lessons from DC . . . . or BOTH? :snicker:
Might have been drinking lessons from DC ;D
In my defense, I’ve gotten better since I’ve accepted I need to wear my glasses constantly and changed my iPhone to the Old Man (40+) setting 😁

How many penalties did we get n the 1st perod?
It’s intermission. . . we can rock out for a fewOne of my faves.

I guess I can't fault Eller for shooting there as he was in with Haglin and Panik. But Panik had a tap in that I could of made, if he decided to pass it.. Could of been 3 zip.He panicked 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So, slash on Ovie but no embellishment on the Cane? Dude dropped his stick like it was a hot potato. :huh:
Slash on Wilson? Do what now? That's another bullshit call. :uh-huh:
They do look a it likke pyjamas though... :yawn: :raspberry:

Hi Lil, we've all missed you! Glad you're back!
And in other news, Samsonov holding the fort.
The evidence in the great goalie mystery continues to trickle in.
If we assume for a moment that the Caps move on from Holtby this summer, I am beginning to wonder, given the struggles of the newest $10 million AAV goalies, if Holtby finds that the market for his services isn't anything like he would have anticipated.
Ooookay.... some body explain to me how WE got the PP out of that?They slashed Jensen I think

That last score should be an actual play that they should practice. Slapshot off the boards/glass ricochet to the person standing next to the net. :-|
Oshie hauled down - no call.
They come down - PP against.
Tell me refs don’t ref the score.
So they miss a call on Oshie, so he in turn commits another retard cross check.. Team just isn't very smart.

Team should know the refs ref the scoreboard. No excuse to be a dumb ass.. Hopefully we can waste these 2 minutes and not give up a shorty..We think alike. LOL
Hamilton, what an asshole.Yeah, we owe him a beer! :snicker:

We take too many fucking penalties.
I'm surprised at the lack of comments on Dowds 10:00 misconduct at the end of the 1st that was served in the 2ndI did not like the Dowd misconduct penalty, but it was Svechnikov’s stick. :snicker: He caught it mid-air after Svechnikov falls to the ice during that fracas at the end of the period. The rules state you cannot throw equipment over the glass. Rules are the rules! He should have known them.
A few more observations on the game besides Caps have to cut down on the penalties.
1. Samsonov was outstanding, he looked so calm and collected. His rebound control was outstanding. The goals he allowed he had no chance on. He really kept us in the game in the 1st period. It could easily have been two or three to nothing if he hadn’t been flawless.
2. It was really nice to see Vrana score, he has been awfully quiet lately but tonight he was flying. Had 4 quality scoring chances. We need him to keep that up.
3. The third line had its best game of the season and was maybe our best line tonight, although the second line had a good night too. The first line, however, struggled. Ovie has not looked like himself lately, I hope he is all right. Rierden should consider switching Kuzy and Backstrom.
4. Orlov had an outstanding game and was our best defenseman.
Hopefully this win will jump start the Caps and they can put together a win streak.
Zero, 40 starts for Samsonov would essentially be a 50/50 workload split. That isn't going to happen, especially since the split of starts through 42 games is something like 29/13. Even getting Samsonov to 30 starts this season would mean that the remaining 40 would be split 23/17 -- fairly close to a rotation from here on out. Now if Holtby continues his uneven performance AND the team starts to slump and is in danger of being caught/passed by multiple Metro teams, then maybe the organization turns to Samsonov to a greater degree. But until the organization's hand is forced by circumstances, what you get the rest of the season is probably pretty close to what you've seen thus far.Yes, we FINALLY have a real “third line”, that is a two-way line that shut-down opponents top lines and require the enemy to also respect them offensively.
And while I'm at it, I've noticed something very interesting about Hagelin and Panik. Everyone generally seems to consider them pretty much of a bust, at least offensively, and are wondering how the 3rd line can be counted on to pull its weight. But to this point in the season, with both of them now having played in the low 30's in games out of the 42 the Caps have played, their +/- numbers are +7 and +8. Now I realize that there are real issues with equating +/- to quality of play, but it seems to be that the Caps are not being hurt at all competitively when these guys are on the ice at 5 on 5. And Eller is at +3, though he is used in more situations at 5 on 5 than they are (largely as a 2nd center on the ice when the Caps are trying to protect a lead in a close game coming down the stretch.) This must mean that, if the 3rd line is scoring only intermittently, then their opponents are scoring even more sporadically.
