Smith-Pelly is in studio for the pre game.

8-0 What, Lil don't like her neighbors?? Fascinating.. :snicker:
-
Smith-Belly :rofl:
-
I was halfassed listening to the pregame, could’ve sworn they said Kuemper was starting. But that’s not the official information.
-
Definitely Lindy.
-
Only took em' 1:46 to get the PP setup. :wackysmile:
-
Eek. Time to call up Iorio or Mcilrath. :-\
-

Didn't get setup at all that time. :wackysmile:
-
1 period down.. could be better, could be much worse
-
A lot of running around with nothing to show for it so far.
-
Shocked to see Jensen back. His leg did some weird shit when he went into the wall.
2 ofer PP's and a hit post on Strome's break.. Shit like that will come back to haunt ya vs good teams like Fl.
-
I was saying.. 0-1 :clown: :poop:
-
:O=
-
and no PP on the high stick
-
Another boink. This one by Dube. :-( Need something to go in fellas..
Mantha with the fisticuffs! 8-0 Maybe it'll spark em'!!

It's not for lack of effort.......

Must be nice to have a top PP that actually comes through when you need it.
:clown: :poop:
-
I’m surprised arena management hast done something about the fan that keeps whistling.
-
got a point against the Panthers, not bad
-
Road point vs best team in the league.. Better than I figured was possible. See if they get lucky and get the other one!
-
Not a bad result, all in all. Any points on the road are a plus.
-
that sure looked like a trip
:raised-eyebrow:
-
da fuk
-
Meh. I can live with that.
Sweet dreams all. :yawn:
-
Nope. :(
-
Monday night at 7 at home
-
If the Caps end up being sellers at the deadline, they've got some uncertainties now with a couple of their players rumored to potentially be moving - Dowd and Mantha. Both now injured, and we need status on these guys before the deadline.
-
Pretty decent showing from a team full of old injured guys. I mean hell they hung with one of the best teams in the league, in their barn after already tough several days.
And was dreaming at the point in OT when I imagined I saw Protus/Ovie/Carlson fumbling around on the ice together? I had to be asleep...no way that was really happening?
Hope Mantha is minor....dude is primed for the block in less than a week.
-
The team is playing hard and IMO Carbery is making miracles with a mid level roster. I'm positive moving forward provided they can make some shrewd moves to get younger and more skilled.
-
They're definitely out punting their coverage currently. Im still not sure if it's us playing better or (good) teams going "oh, the Caps, whatever" then we surprise them. Guess time will tell.
Either way it's good to see them have some success, as I was starting to waiver on Carbery. Really like him, but when the wheels fall off the new/young Coach is usually a casualty.
Hope he gets to stick around until they have an actual rebuild, where they're not looking out the corner of their eye at the LTIR list, wondering when the next guy will decide he's ready to play another couple games.
