this is Backys 1000th game, there will be a brief pregame ceremony and the team will all wear his sweater for warmups
-
Let's GO CAPS!
Come on Mantha!
Going to try and watch some Red Wings too, Vrana and Panik both in the lines ups tonight.
-
Hope they show the Backy pre-game on the stream
-
NICKY!
-
Only two guys have played 1000 games as a Cap.. OV and Backy
-
Kinda crazy if you think about that stat.

I think I'll miss Panik more than Vrana
-
Aaaawwww! That was cute. :wackysmile: Morning all.
What was it the players gave him? Was it something to do with golf?
(I have to have my sound down really low at this time of night)
-
9 and 74 are paired up tonight, at least to start
-

(I have to have my sound down really low at this time of night)
his teammates gave him an all expense paid trip to any golf course of his choice
-
I pass you puck. You score.
-
damn, he's leaking too
-
OUCH!!!!!!1 :sick:
-
damn, he's leaking too
I think it caught the shield so hopefully not too bad for him.
-
"Rocking the blue" doesn't quite have the right ring to it...
-
Should have got him for the dive
-
"Rocking the blue" doesn't quite have the right ring to it...
the local rounders team is also red, and the fans do all wear red, but the home team still wears white, as it should be
-
What no embellishment? The guy was going for a double salko. :lmao:
-
Do we have a shot on goal?
-
Do we have a shot on goal?
that's a misleading stat
-
high stick...
no goal
-
high stick :cross:
-
poop
-
Smelling salts all around at intermission! :)
-
Someone told the Caps before the game...."It's only Buffalo" and they look like they listened.
-
Good goal.
-
:poop:
:clown: :O=
-
SNARLS!!!!!!!!
-
Trade him anyway :snicker:
-
That's more like it. ;D
-
Mantha active in front
-
Well sniff my McNuggets they came back before the period ended! :raspberry:
-
Not a great first period, by any means.
Must try harder.

the Sabres are good enough to make you earn it
-
I wonder if I can get some free mcnuggets over here? :snicker:
-

Well, they're an nHL team.
Every team is capable. The difference is how WE play and it's not been great so far. Our passing has been pretty poor so far this game.
Well, they're an nHL team.
-

The Sabres have been decent the last 10 games.
-
I was going to say this the other day, but Orlov always reminds me of "Victor Krum" from the Harry Potter films....... :snicker:

Another giveaway! >:(
-
8-0 How is that not a concussion protocol? Smacked the back of his melon.
-
Where'd everybody go?
-
🤣 thats the hardest hit Shearys had all year
-
Serves us right. Boys need to put their big boy pants on and WAKE THE FUCK UP! :angry:
-
Way to go to comemmorate Nicky's 1000 the game, huh?
-
I've said it time and time again. When Vanecek goes down in the butterfly he plays small. Too much room upstairs.
Has goaltending ever changed. Pretty much every goalie goes down way too early. The last 2 goals we gave up there was no reason to go down. In the past those are routine saves. All the goalie has to deal with is the shooter coming in on the wing. Just come out to cut down the angle and stand up.
-
BOOM - Big Tony
-
a couple of clown pukes...
and Ray Ray Fat Tony!!!!!!
-
Big Mo!
-
ANTMAN!!!!
Great feed by Dylan.
-
Whoooo Hooo!!
Mantha is fittin right in!!
-
Mantha is looking like a nice fit.
-
Whoooo Hooo!!
Mantha is fittin right in!!
I had a feeling you would like the Mantha deal.
-
Big Mo!
Who?
-
Well, i might as well say it. Why the hell so you have a birth control commercial & not a damn chick on it is remotely attractive?
-
:raised-eyebrow:
:clown: :poop: :O=
-
Who?
Mantha = Mo
-
:clown: :poop: Sabres are snipping every shot tonight.
-
Vitek is off.
Not his fault but Jeez four goals on 20 shots?
-
FFS!!!!
-
I had a feeling you would like the Mantha deal.
Hell ya, a great deal for both teams. And we get w big power forward that can play both sides, & has played C in the past.
Separately, what the hell is goin on with V-Tech tonight?
-
Anderson ought to be sharpe. ::)
-
We look like we've been running around like headless chikens all night. No control whatsoever.
-
I think Carlson maybe better @ checking than acting . . .

I'm not really a Vitek fan.. I don't think he cuts down angles very well and goes down too early. When he is in net the goal looks huge.
Sammy has his issues too. Moves around way too much and he loses his net way too often. How many times have we seen him outside the post?
-
🤣 thats the hardest hit Shearys had all year
Careful he might just kick your ass.
-
You'd think they'd be trying a little bit harder for Nickky, huh?
-
if the team in from of Vtek was playing better...
-
:O=
down by 2 after 2
-
Gonna suck if we give away 2 pts here in the ol' trap game.. :-\
-
That was rubbish.
-
Vrana got his 1st for The Wings
-
if the team in from of Vtek was playing better...
The team isn't playing well at all. Schultz has been by far our worst player tonight. Play like this has haunted him his entire career.
-
Where'd everybody go?
no whistles in the first threw off the timing for dinner
-
The Sabres have been decent the last 10 games.
they suck, I don't know how they won 9
-
Alan May :hearts: just said it. "Careless passing by the Caps"
-
I wouldn't be surprised if the lines got shuffled a little in the third.

Lavi needs to be throwin shit in the locker room.. lol
-
time for a PP
-
Make it count boys..
-
or just Decline it. :wackysmile:
-
damn, only a pp
-
D lines are back to normal
-
pass, pass, pass aagin... oh, wait, where'd it go....? :stupid:
-
So much for that idea.. They just look like flabby ass tonight.
-
Slopy gets ya second.
-
they suck, I don't know how they won 9
They have won 10. No idea how.
-
another pp :yawn:
-
On a positive note....
It's almost over...
and we are no closer to a starting goalie...
but..... Fat Tony Ray Ray Manny Mo AntMan DID score.

Fucking Kuzy!!!!!
-
looks like the little blue pills have worn off
-
I think Kuzy is looking for a trade to the Sabres.
-
yea, tonight isn't the fault of Vanny
-
S'not looking good.
WAKE THE FUCK UP OVI
-
zebras really didn't want a fight there
-
I think they should have ust let them go there.
-
Fuck, guess we're not even gonna make it close.
-
pathetic
-
and now a pk
-
Our passing has been appalling. Our puck control has been abyssmal.
-
It's like they didn't even try for Nicky. :(
-
game :)
-
What a shambles.
-
Peace out Peeps
-
I blame it on the blue.
-
Wow. We got kicked by the worst team in the league.
-
I don't like they way we have zero ability to come back in the 3rd period. Like they just give up. Whatever.. :clown: :poop:
-
I blame it on the blue.
Yup. Hate those jerseys.
-
Shamefull!
"Mouse in the punchbowl" for sure.

It was just embarassing.
Maybe they all had a little too much punch before the game.
