:clown: :poop: Kept em' off the board for nearly 3 minutes! :)
Fucking idiot scratched Sprong again.. lol Wish they'd fire Lavi along with the rest of the coaches..
-
thought I had an extra 30 minutes to get a few things done, that didn’t work
and Snively is in tonight
-
GOOOAAALLLLLL
Sheary baby
-
Honestly it looks to me like the Caps have had the better of the play and the better chances.
If it were for the score, they'd be doing great :wackysmile:
-
I'm about 2 minutes behind....Love that Sheary baby. He shows up EVERY shift.
-
Why is Kempny in? Who's out on D?
-
:clown: :poop: :clown: :poop:
We're dog shit..
-
FFS. What is that
2 3 goals on 6 shots? Couple of bad bounces and bad clear, but fuking goal in the last minute ish...and ANOTHER with 1 second left? take all the wind out of this team.
Carlson watching the play from behind the net.
How fucking old is Tavares now?
Mick is right....I smell dog shit.
-
Jesus. Send Sammy up the road. Fucking 1.6 seconds.
Why the fuck was sammy sitting on his ass? No reason for him to be sitting on the ice.
-
Why is Kempny in? Who's out on D?
Schultz
-
On a brighter note....Alexa looking good in the purple stretchy sock body-shirt thingy.
-
6 of the last 10 home games we've given up 3 in the first.. :) :clap: :clown: :poop:
-
goalie change :)
-

dude.. you are old enough to be her great grandfather
-
dude.. you are old enough to be her great grandfather
Not GREAT! :raised-eyebrow:
and every year, percentage wise we get closer in age :wackysmile:
And I can still LOOK. Can't do much anything else.
But for real. I dig her. And I don't mean the way she looks. I think she is excellent at this. I wonder how long until she moves on.
-
Oh goody....the only PP weaker then mine...
-
:huh: TMI bro.. :snicker:
-
I think the Leafs might just be faster than us.
-
0 shots on the PP! :clap:
-
0 shots on the PP! :clap:
You are wrong. I think Toronto got one :raspberry:
-
I think the Leafs might just be faster than us.
That's why they won't let Sprong play.. He's too fast for the old farts line(s).
-
a couple girls I went to high school with got pregnant while in school, if their kid did the same one could be a great grandparent by 45 easy
:raspberry:
-
Hot damn another PP!! Maybe we can give up a shorty! :wackysmile:
-
PPG GOOOAAALLLLLL
OVECHKIN WILSON
-
Nice PP and goal.. Now lets see if we can handle their push back.
-
I hope we never see Sammy again
-
Hey, there's an Eller sighting! :wackysmile:
-
Damn, how old is Riley?? Might need him to lace em' up. We could use him!
-

My wife was actually grandparent at...48 (or right close), but Alexa is like 25 so her Great would have to be 60+ and, unlike Mick, I aint into that decade yet :raspberry:
-
Vitek plays better positionally than Sammy. Sammy just has these huge gaffs in position and focus it seems. Not sure what his deal is.

He's got talent but apparently/maybe not the coaching to make the step? All of his great stuff seem to come off instinct/athleticism. Neither one of em' know what to do with the puck. Coaching...

He is far less flaky.....
-

Yes. Flaky. Exactly....Sammy just flakes out for no reason...and WAY too often.
-
ALL STAR BIG WILLY GETS A SHORTY
-
Wilson with the chortie!!
-
My Willy is working tonight.
-
Penalty box is gonna cost us sooner or later
-
Interference much? >:(
-
Interference much? >:(
WTF. RIGHT in front of the ref too!
-
Mick....stay away from my sister you ol coot.
Oh what the hell....go ahead and kiss her tonight. I'll take that in a game we started down 3-1 vs Toronto
-
actually surprised Willy didn't get called for being Willy on Tavares there
-
Mick....stay away from my sister you ol coot.

I told you, stop bringing her around and things wouldn’t happen
these fukin zebras..
-
I hope it's not 4 on 4 here. If so, we better treat it like a PK.
-
:clown: :clown: :clown: :clown:
:poop: :O=
-
What'd I tell ya.. :clown: :poop:
-
That's on Jensen. Stupid fuck tried to skate it out vs 2 faster guys and then got hemmed in . He could have EASILY passed the puck up the boards and cleared it.
Fucking dumb.
-
Sucks cause Caps have played pretty well....except for the 1st goalie.
-
Scoresheet ticker is gonna read 5-3 when this is done
-
fuuuuuuuck
-
why bother, it ain’t gonna happen
-
Caps played pretty decent. Toronto is a better (and younger and faster) team....with a better Goalie...and better PP
-
They're done.. Needed to complete that comeback and get an inch of confidence.. But another late game shitting of themself.. They done.
-
TJ is "hey fuckwads....look right here" On my face shield ;D
-
Would have been nice for Willie to get a hattie, but meh....don't want to pad those great PP numbers.
Don't worry fellas....it's all part of the master plan - they are just lulling teams to sleep with their mediocre play. Gonna shock the NHL come playoff time :lol:
-
Peace out peeps
-
Caps played well too, for the most part
-

Seriously, are you ok to drive home? :snicker:
-
OV destroyed his stick on the bench at the end, so at least he still cares

Nice to see that. At least we say some flashes where we played like we cared tonight. Actually laid a few hits out there.
We should get waxed by Carolina next game, but I think Ovi has had enough and we win that one. I know, crazy....
-
Good to see Ovi pissed. Not sure it makes a difference but we'll see..
See ya Thursday.
-
This team is simply beyond hope now. You realize how utterly slow they are when you see them against a team like Toronto which moves the puck around crisply and with speed. They also lose just about every battle on the boards which is always lethal. The coach can't seem to inspire much effort, either. It's past time to blow this thing up and nobody except maybe Ovi should be untouchable.
-
I'd keep a few more, but yea they shouldn't be afraid of blowing it up.. There isn't any future with the current lineup.
I'd keep: Ovie, Wilson, Sheary, Dowd, Hathaway, Orlov, Fehervary, Jensen and see what I could get for the rest of em'..
-
Never Happen. They heard of this Standing Pat guy and that's all they gonna do.

Good post. We are paying the price of giving away draft picks and a poor farm system. We don't have a single buy under 25 that you can say is a top tier NHL player. Coaching is becoming more of an issue as well. I will give Caps ownership and management props for being consistent and loyal, but the league has passed us by....

I don't watch much other hockey than the Caps, but I turned on a game couple nights ago and yeah...the speed and movement of the other teams....was like watching teams geared up in the 2nd/3rd round of the playoffs. You don't realize the difference until you play a team that is just superior.
Caps actually played a pretty hard/decent game against Toronto and had some chances, but they did look outmatched and it felt like the outcome was inevitable. I think the Caps played harder, but it didn't matter. The Caps can up their game and compete on a nightly basis - if they get some goaltending, but the long and short is...in the long run, they are just outmatched in too many areas compared to the better teams. You can overcome shortcomings in one or two areas, but not with glaring weaknesses in so many areas.
