As long as their goalie is a little worse than ours, we good! :snicker:

8-0
Don't know what a "trolloping" is, but it sounds like fun.
:lmao:

Caps hold on to win 6-3, salvage two points
:)
-
:lol:
Yep, despite K's best efforts....
How tragic for the Sens that they have even worse goal tending issues than we have.
A good 2 points and I'm happy for Pepe. ;D
Sweet dreams peeps.
:yawn:

Big game tomorrow vs Detroit. HUGE game Friday vs the Flyers. We're now closer to them (3rd in division) than a wildcard.

And looking a little further, then a game against Arizona, after which the Caps need to make a decision about what they are going to do at the deadline.
The two playoff teams ahead of them are now theoretically catchable, taking into account games in hand. Unless the Caps suddenly go in the tank, they might start thinking about being buyers - UGH. Or at least, they may well not be sellers, because how would it look to the players if they sold off valuable pieces with the playoffs not out of reach?
The Ovie/Strome/Wilson line was -3 apiece in this victory - they were on the ice for all of Ottawa's goals. That line is a liability against fast skill players now.

Is there really anything out there to buy, even if we wanted to? We need a new Backy and Carlson, but we'll never get that with 2nd round picks or deadline trades. We can be competitive, but that'll just keep us drafting in the teens, unfortunately. We have the perfect opportunity to tank this year and the dummies just won't do it. :raspberry: lol
-
awe quit it you guys. Its OVER....there is no...wait and see...the season is over....SELL< SELL SELL!!!
The decision was made long ago...lets not revert back .....WE ARE SELLERS at the deadline.
ALL MUST GO....RED TAG SALE
got a used bag o pucks?....We got just the guy to trade for em.
Got a slightly better bag o pucks? Yep, got you covered too.
Need some overpaid questionable talent...MAn have I got a deal for you.
How about a superstar talent with a candy problem...Got one of those too!
Need some trusty veteran blue liners to get you through the playoffs...We got LOADS of them.
No deals too small, no details overlooked. Need us to retain salary? ...NO PROBLEM....need a loaner car for life...NO PRoblem
You got fresh draft pics to get rid of....I'm your man!!!
You need some Stanley Cup Veterans? We got a bunch. Forward, D.....Hell....
Iv'e even got a STANELY CUP winning Goaltender I'd be willing to part with.
Pick up the phone give us a call....we got deals to be done here!

Oh, Im all aboard the sell train!! BOGO 1 way tickets!! :snicker: (Still won't amount to anything except replenishing the Bears possibly)
