Is there ever going to be a game vs the Pens that ISNT on nbcsn?? For fucks sake.. :-\
-
Hi'y'all
-
the radio guys sound like they are calling the game from home, zero background noise
-
evenin Lil
-
That was a BULLSHIT call
-
yep, bullshit call
-
I like Halfway. He certainly woke their goalie up. :snicker:
We need to stir up those cowardly custards.
-
Zebras starting the bullshit early I see.
-
At some point we need to play in the other end of the ice, no? :huh:
-
Evenin Lil. Got your poutine ready? :wackysmile:

Look a little better the 2nd half of the period (so far). Still not physical enough. Need to PUNISH some mother fuckers!! :raised-eyebrow:
-
Pass, pass, pass, shoooooot...NO pass pass pass, oh wait.....
-
I don't understand putting Ovi with Kuzy and Oshie. The Backstrom, Ovi, Wilson line has been very good. Why mess with that line?
Neither of the top 2 lines looked good in that period.

Lavi said something about being 0-3 vs Pitt and wanting to try some different lines. Agree though, so far the shuffle hasn't been good.

The Dowd group needs to play more mins than any other group that doesn't include Wilson.
And how & why is Sheary still in the NHL, or even got to the NHL in the first place?
And dont get me started on the waste of an equipment bag Panik is
-
That was some pretty good analysis. Who'd have thunk it?
-

The Dowd line been decent. Too bad they have no touch.
-
there is no excuse for an arena to have bad ice this year
-
GOOOAAAAAAL!!!!
Sheary
-
A Cherry bomb! :P
-
Nice shift/goal. Jensen did good!
-
Pass, pass, pass more! ::)

Wow! Vrana sold that! :lmao:

Hens are down by 2. I'm expecting a parade to the penalty box for our fellas untiill they make it up now.

ORLOV YOURE A FUCKIN PUSSY!!!!

ORLOV YOURE A FUCKIN PUSSY!!!!
God damn lazy Commie Eurotrash Beta Bitch
-
ORLOV YOURE A FUCKIN PUSSY!!!!
Yup.. That was the time to set the stage.
-
I think Orlov did the right thing there, otherwise it would have been matching minors
-
A little chirping going on aat the end there. I want to see some blood on the ice in the 3rd and I want it to be custard colour. :raspberry:
-
Yup.. That was the time to set the stage.
YOURE GOD DAMN RIGHT!!
A real man would of tossed his gloves and attacked! Fuck the "misconduct", put the other out and its 17 on 17
-
Yup.. That was the time to set the stage.
Disagree. I think he did the right thing there. We got the penalty. We can sort it out next period and then take even penalties instead of throwing away an advantage.
-
This is fucking embarrassing. What is this, no hit no touch hockey. What the fuck happened to this team
-
Are those guys wearing the same slippers? :wackysmile:
-
Tonight's trivia question is a tough one. There is no way anyone would get this one without looking it up.
The question was which players have scored the most goals in a game against the Pens. There were 2 players that scored 4 goals in a game against the Pens.
I knew one of them but the other guy was a complete surprise.

At that point in time, I really didn't give a shit about a PP. If Orlov had the balls, he should of stood up for Vany.
-
Next goal wins.. (you know Im right) :raspberry: :snicker:
-
Bang!
-
At that point in time, I really didn't give a shit about a PP. If Orlov had the balls, he should of stood up for Vany.
If he had done it before the whistle, then yes, but the whistle was pretty quick.
ooooohQ Eller! :clap:
-
that was a quick intermission
and
GOOOAAAAL
Eller
-

ooooohQ Eller! :clap:
Whistle smishle.. :raspberry: :snicker:
-
Well, maybe now Helen KEller can increase his goals to face-off losses to .100
-
Jensen has been good so far tonight.
What I'm not sure I like is how often or how far Van comes out of his crease.
-

Great job by Van the Man, although you can't deny we had a little luck, especially in the first period. There were afew dings that helped us out.
Whooo hooo!

The Caps needed an effort like this. So did Vanecek.
I liked Ovi's effort on the Vrana goal. He didnt get a point on the goal but it was his backcheck that made that happen.
-

I think DC was using his reverse psychosis this game... :sick:
Eller has the best face off percentage on the team at like 56%
DC called out Sheary and Panik early on and they were both involved in the scoring.
Panik works really hard, but man he does have hands of stone when it comes to scoring a goal. He did make a nice (or lucky) pass to Eller though. He also made that pass to Sheary for G1. Plus Panik does forecheck and hit guys and plays physical. I was disappointed they didn't move him in the offseason, but he's okay as a 3rd/4th line guy and he's got good size and plays hard. (DC just hates anyone from Europe) ;)
Keep it up DC. It's working 8)

Pretty good effort all around. Nice to see Vitek get the 1st star - he played well. Too bad on the shutout. I thought that might have been GT interference (well it was) but the guy was pushed in (a bit)
It definitely prevented Vitek from making a play. I went back and looked at it and Shultz kind of slew foot the guy down and he went right into the goalie. When I first saw it live I thought the guy kind of went down too easy and intentionally went skates first into Vitek.
Orlov did the smart thing but not retaliating, but.....opening a can of whoop-ass would pay long term dividends later. I would have rather seen instant (and overwhelming) payback, but I don't fault him for being smart and he's really not that guy. He checks hard, but he's no tough guy. Too bad Dillon or Hathy weren't on the ice then.
Eller had a good game...almost scored a shortie....I went back and looked at that and the goalie just barely got the pad on that shot. Panik had two assists and played well. Hathy always works hard and that checking line is great, but man they need someone to just have some touch. Still....as long as they are circling in the offensive zone, the Hens (who whomever) can't score.
Looked like the whole team played a little harder and hustled (for nearly 60 full minutes). Nice to see.
Go Caps

I didn't watch, does this mean I can no longer watch the Caps?

Eller is our top faceoff guy this season at 53.8 percent. I'm not convinced that makes him better.
Backstrom is really struggling on faceoffs this season. He does take a lot in the offensive zone which means he would quite often be facing off against the oppositions best face off guy.
I think Eller gets easier matchup in most games.

GMBetaMale has completely ignored face-offs since hes been here.
