I sure as hell hope Dowds line continues to get the ice time theyve been getting. They sure as hell earned it, and the others, sans Oshie, have earned loosing it.

Penishead was just doing a pregame interview with Backy, I thought that jackass retired/was fired
-
Pierre = :O=
Let's go Kuzy! Wake up!
-
3:08pm and NBC had a countdown to puck drop in the screen.. 16:00 to go, which makes this a 3:30 game
::)
-
muh beer Kuzy with the PPG!!!!!!

Looks like Kuzy read our recent posts abouth him... :snicker:

it's always fun watching these games on the penguins hockey network

By my math, that's 6 goals allowed on Veneck's last 21 shots. Nearly a .300 save %! :clown: :poop:
-
Hmmmmm. Rusty? Or this bad?

Hes also started 10 of 12 games in a schedule no one could fuck up more than Bettman.
On the other hand, Samov gave up 5 goals on 29 shots today at Hershey

these NBC announcers are dumber than shit, the jackass said Daytona was halted because of lightning while they showed the jet dryers sucking the rain off the track

Vrana still plays for us?
-
Backhander no less. :wackysmile:
-
Dowd takes too many stick penalties for a guy on the 3rd or 4th line.
-
I thought you had to hit the guys face to get called for a high stick?
-
:O= :O= :O=
-
Soft.. fuck.
-
Another bad goal. The break hasn’t helped Vitek.

This gonna make us like 1-5 vs playoff teams. And the 1 win we had, came in OT after giving up a 3 goal lead. :)
-
Good luck, all. I need a new hobby. Can't watch this team continue to shit the bed. COVID breaks or not. This ain't hockey. Looks more like a friggin' carnival.
-
Eller got caught puck watching.
-

Doesn't have to be a stick in the face to be called for high sticking.
-
33 shots, 8 goals.
.242 save %.
:) :clown: :poop:
-
He started looking shaky before the break. The wheels have fallen off.
-
that bitch Crosby better get fined for that leg sweep
-
Welp, Dowd is fucked.. Legs don't supposed to do that. :-(
-
that bitch Crosby better get fined for that leg sweep
Kind of looked like a slew foot to me. That is Crosbys signature move.
-
that bitch Crosby better get fined for that leg sweep
That was dirty. Of course nbc announcers barely even noticed it. Fucker
-
Backy!!!!
:clap:
-
Sneaky!!
-
That
Was
Slick
Go Backy!
-
Decent 5 on 5 PK there. :raspberry:
-
Orlov needs to be scratched, then traded
-
Daytona is still halted for lightning :-|
-
Orlov needs to be scratched, then traded
I don't think anyone here will disagree with that.
-
I'd check back around 8pm. Gonna rain on and off for another hour at least.
-
Glad Penis called us out on the faceoff suck.. Needs to be at the top of the address book.
-
WTF is the guy located in the lower left, behind the glass, trying to distract our Caps?
He's holding up his phone or wallet to show the players.
Then I realized, he's a cameraman and was taking a picture...
-
perfect
-
Hopefully we're setting up a play to take out Crosby.

what a fukin joke
but now is a good time to make Crosby pay for that slew foot
-

Normally thats a good thing 🤣

About 10yrs to late 😡

Pretty pathetic game. This team has to tighten up or they will not make the playoffs.
Some questionable goaltending, our forwards aren't helping enough defensively, we turn the puck over entering the zone way too often instead of getting the puck deep, we don't spend enough time cycling the puck in the offensive zone and we get owned in the faceoff circle almost every game.
We have to be the worst faceoff team in the league. I believe we were at the bottom last season too.
I was concerned about our goaltending before the season started and I think there is reason for concern. Vitek had a nice run but it looks like the wheels have fallen off. He is making fundamental mistakes, as was Sammy when he played.
And our 3rd goalie is washed up. The best goalie in the Caps system might be Copley. That's scary.
-
At least it's not 3am.
-
there is no reason for the coach to pull the goalie ever again until this team can consistently win some faceoffs
-
Not sure I see a path to the playoffs with this team? Who we gonna bump/beat? Pittsburgh, Boston, Filly, NYI??
NJ and Buf both have games in hand that could pass us in points.
D sucks, goalies suck, forwards can't win a faceoff or forecheck/backcheck.
Guess we can hope it's rust and we'll all of a sudden be good.. :wackysmile:
-
This team seems to have no aggressiveness or physical play. No big hits no fights, that is what is needed. It seems the new coach doesn't believe in hitting and fighting. Back when Barry was coach the caps didn't take any shit now they look like a bunch of pussies.
-
now they look like a bunch of pussies.
We play the Pens 3x in the next 11 days. If they don't get payback -on Cindy- in that span, I'm gonna have to agree. I'd like to see him into the boards. Face first.
-
When do we get to lose again? Oh, tomorrow at 7.

I'd rather not. The industry still blames the Caps for that concussion he got the game after they played the Caps outdoors. I rather see one of our players just beat the snot out of him the old fashioned way.

I'd prefer that too, but we know he'll turtle until someone comes to his rescue. He needs to pay, one way or another.

How about trying something new....like winning a game against the fucking Hens. :raspberry:
I saw the first and about half the second before I had to go to work. Come home at 1:30am and watched the rest (wise move)
I hate the Hens. Hate playing them cause we should e a better team but we usually bring at least two facets of suck to our games vs the Hens. Sad thing is they are not really that good. They have lots of holes including goaltending, but they do still have a scoring punch which works against weak teams (like the Caps have been)
I'd love to see some retaliation against Crybaby, but it will never happen. It would be too costly. Who are you willing to give up for a major suspension which is what anything against the golden crybaby would result in. Hey, maybe we can back Kevin Kaminsky for one game?
I did see Dowd back on the ice playing in the third. That dude must have bionic tendons. That leg/knee was awfully bent.
I should have just skipped this game and gone out for Poutine. Would have been more satisfying.

Dowds the only center that has to play for a job. Suzy & Keller dont need to do a damn thing for the next few years

I've accepted they aint winning much, so I've moved my hopes to revenge! :snicker:
Wait, what? Dowd was back on the ice? If that's true, it'll make retaliation a little harder.. I assumed he was done for a while. :raised-eyebrow:
