The Thread! The Thread!!!

Thanks Alta

Glad to see Backy and Willy both in the lineup.
I see Eller is IR-concussion...is that just protocol or a diagnosis? Where do you find that info? (maybe click the supplied links dipshit)
That fucker who hit him better get a Willy-like suspension for that hit.
Oshie at Center...(well THAT should help our faceoff percentage) :P
No Jensen on D....I'm cool with that (although he seemed a decent fit with Chara so far) Seemed to me maybe this year's playing style was more suited to him (as opposed to real tight D) :smirk:
Anderson in goal. Figured it was coming but Van the Man gives us a better shot at winning I think. I'm guessing they want him for Boston Saturday and maybe giving him a rest since the last two games were pretty high work load.
GO CAPS!

Let's GO CAPS!

Yeah, Jensen has looked good this year. testing stuff out I presume.
-
Better brew some coffee on the bench to keep that old man awake in the goal tonight. Probably should get some cortisone shots for his joints too.

if he needed cortisone, it should’ve been done a day or two ago. He’s the perfect guy for the mandatory taxi squad. He’s at the end of his career and he knows it. But he still needs a few games to keep him reliable. You don’t want a young guy that needs work sitting on his ass all season.
-
I have not seen any mention of Komarov getting a disciplinary call/meeting for injuring Eller.

Hola people! :wackysmile: Ander son huh?. We'll see.. Glad Willy and Nicky are back! Bummer Eller is out. Payback needs to be on the menu! :uh-huh:
-
Nope, that's Vanecek in goal. Who does these GTD's anyway? :raspberry: :snicker:

its the information that was avalible at 4:00, not much else I can do

Well Poop. I just turned it on and it's 2-0
Knew we should have started that old fucker in net :raspberry:

There will be fights shortly :)

Can't fault anyone on the first goal. It was a total fluke. But that 2nd goal was ugly.
-
Well the good news is that's all the goals the Isles can muster for an entire game :wackysmile:
-
unless there is a PP :-\
-
Now a penalty.. Just start getting some payback ya pussies!! :smirk:
-
Jesus that's a BS call
-
I feel a shortie coming.... :clown:
-
Jesus that's a BS call
Yup pretty weak.
-
Not seeing much of Wilson? Is he playing or did Alta fuck that one up too? :rofl: (just kiddin old fella, we appreciate the effort!) :P
-
Damn Johnny...you got to bite the lip there and make a bleeder
-
cause we so good on those 5 min majors ;)
-
Damn Nicky is good on the 1/2 wall
-
Tripping? :huh: Need to fight the fucking refs too.. :raised-eyebrow:
-

I think that is a dumb rule. Some guys are bleeders, some aren't. It should be the refs discretion. Having said that. There is no way that should be 4 even if he was bleeding.
-

I think he did stick out his leg.

FFS.. :clown: :poop:

ugly 1st period

It was only a matter of time until we put up a stinker. With all the players we have been missing I'm surprised we don't have a regulation loss yet.
-
4 points in 4 games missing everyone. Better then I predicted! But if they don't get some payback from Lee and Komarov I'll lose some respect.. :raised-eyebrow:

5 points Mick!
I'm with you on the payback. Both those guys need to get it.

How is Komorov even in the lineup tonight?
-
Uncle Leo (Komorov's nickname in Toronto from days in Toronto) needs to get tuned in!
-
THATS ONE!!!!!!
SHEARY !!!!!
-
THATS TWO!!!!!!!
SHEARY!!!
-
GOOOOAAAAAALLLLL
HATHY!!!!!
new game at 3 each
-
HATHY BABY!!!!
-
Wow. We have ourselves a game. And I was thinking of turning the game off.
-
Hathy deserves some points....He's contributed to alot of goals with hits and such with no points to show for it.
Love it when a grinder scores
Hathy and Panik both look so much better this year.
-

Given the situation, I think he is an excellent addition. Good to help mentor the young goalies, good insurance, and I know he needs some game time. But, I am still nervous with him in net.
-
GOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!!!'
CARLSON!!!!!
-
GOOD GAWD!!
I don't recognize either of these teams
-
Ya think the boys want to beat Trotsie?
Hell....half this team wasn't even here for him.
-
This can't be a Caps 2nd period? I fell asleep, didn't I? I'm dreaming...
-
And just for you Lil...
I'm at work, watching via stream...on my PC screen...in HD :uh-huh: :raspberry:
-
Da fook? :huh:

Schultz took a puck to the face
-
another bullshit call
-
Willy gets a PPG ENG to ice it :)
:clap:
-
Giddyup.
Backy and Oshie too casual on the previous.
Willy with the last nail.

Evgeny who? :snicker:

Evgeny who? :snicker:
Ilya what?

Dimitry....second base :clown:
-
Impressive comeback. The team is looking good without the Russians. The boys are working hard.
I'm looking forward to Ovi returning but I don't care about the other 3. Our dcore is way better without Orlov.
-
Nice comeback there kids.
Way to go Caps
5 goals in the second against the ISLES..... :wtf:
Barry's eyebrows muscles gonna be sore tomorrow.

Yeah, but we need a real #2 center.
Isn't there a guy looking for a trade somewhere's? ;)
-
Geez it was 3-0 nearly halfway through the 2nd and the Caps score 5 goals in roughly 9 minutes.
-
who comes back should depend on who's injured. Gotta bring Sammy back, and maybe OV, the other two.. meh
-
:thumbsup:
-
Joe and Craig were talking up Varly's GAA and Save % before the game.
Two games in a row these guys Jinxed the Isles :)
-
That puts Caps in 1st place in NHL overall. :hearts:
Peace out Peeps
-
The Caps' tallest (Chara 6'-9" and shortest (Sheary 5'-9") both scored tonight. There's a trivia question for you Joe & Craig.
Like to see them standing next to each other in the team pics :wackysmile:
-

Oshie did alright at center tonight, it is what he grew up playing
-
post game with the coach indicates Schultz might be out next game
-
yep...

-
I just gotta say, that was an absolute BOMB by Zed.. Nice comeback by the fellas!!
-

Yes he did. But I'd still rather have him on wing...he gets alot more bumping and mucking there I think.

oh, that's who that was, didn't recognize him with that dumb assed mask on, especially after watching them hug on ice, you know, with no masks
and I think Chara still has his skates on in that pic, he was late into the lockerroom, he did a post game with Joe B and Lacher
