A certain Edmonton 1C is going to score tonight me thinks.

Probably more than once.

Good news is...Edmonton seams to give up a lot of goals. 

We shall see.

Nice regulation W!!


Saw that Ovi went back to his old sticks this game. Looked like it had a hole in it all night.


Catch up Wednesday!

And yes, I'm a smartass dick most of the time!  :raspberry:

Pretty good showing by the Caps.


Totally shocked by:


3 goals was enough vs Edmonton
Dowd actually got the GWG on a nice passing play
We hung onto a 1 goal lead for about 13 minutes for the win
Carlson's pass to McDavid for a breakaway goal
