Morning chaps. :wackysmile:
What, no Corey Perry? :snicker:
-
Chicago does have this Bedard kid
-
What songs do you think we should sing to serenade Bedard?
Does your mother know, ABBA?
I saw mommy kissing Santa? (keeping it festive)
Mrs. Robinson, Simon n Garfunkel
:snicker: :snicker: :snicker:
-
Mrs Robinson would probably piss him off, and his teammates

Yup :uh-huh:
-
Oh Hell yes!! A Power Play!! :snicker:
-
K has passed the 2 minute mark......... :)
-
that was definitely a trip, can’t complain
-
21 looking more and more like a power forward
-
so was that..
-
Gonna be one of them games, huh. ::)
-
ya can’t kick it in son
-
Why can't we get a decent PP coach?
-
Man the divide between Charlie and Darcy just keeps growing.....
-
Come on fellas. A bit of forward action please
-
Man the divide between Charlie and Darcy just keeps growing.....
In what way?
I mean neither are perfect, are they? They are almost polar opposites. I initially thought that K was the older one and Lindy was the sprog, the way they played :rofl:
-
The team needs a new goalie coach.
-
:phew:
The first two and last two minutes of every period is when I get most nervous when K is in net.
-
On the bright side, Kuemper made it through the 1st. Need to finish a couple of these chances. Ovi, sometime this season! :wackysmile:
-
The team needs a new goalie coach.
NO SHIT SHERLOCK! :raspberry:
-
And a new PP coach. ppplleeeeaaaaaaaassseeee!
-
This seems impossible?

That slipped under the radar a bit. Probably 'cos he hasn't been that noticable yet. Anyway, well done young man. Not that many players even get to that.
-
Caps need to wake up a bit next period.
Happy thoughts worked last game. Let's see if they work again.
Besides, I can't think of any more songs to sing to Bedard. :P
-
Am I being too rumbunctious this morning? :-X

:poop:
:clown: :O=

Charlie is playing way better, and controls rebounds.
-
sloppy sloppy sloppy!
Not gonna blame K for that one at all.
-
GOOOAAALLLL
MANTHA
-
Thank you AntMan.
:banana:
-
Come on Ovi. Tonight's the night.........
-
GOOOAAALLLL
STROME

and great hit by Oshie
-
:banana: :banana:
WHOOP WHOOP!
This is better fellas
-
Did Imention I quite like this Strome chap? 8)
-
GOOOAAALLLL
-
Uh oh, I see bodies in the paint.
-
:banana: :banana: :banana:
-
Nice 3 banger bounce back!!
-
NHL dot com says that last goal is Malenstyn’s, but the replay sure looked like Dowd got the last touch.
-
Much better 2nd, but still too much time in our own end and our clearance attempts are bad.
Good 2nd period overall.
COME ON OVI. I believe in you. :hearts:
-
NHL dot com says that last goal is Malenstyn’s, but the replay sure looked like Dowd got the last touch.
I thought it was Mal. ....
Looked like Dowd took the shot, it bounced off the goalies pad and then Mal was the last touch before it trickled in. ???
-
Let's bring it home in the third, guys!
Ooooh, this positivity is fun. :wackysmile:
-
Looked like Dowd from here. Couldn't really see stick on puck though.
We've scored 3+ in 3 straight games. Hopefully shits starting to click.
Nothing stupid in the 3rd!
-
Immediately after Joe B and Lacher announced it was officially Malenstyn, NHL dot com changed it to Dowd.
:clown: :poop:
-
I have absolutely no problem with that whatsoever. ;D
-
The overhead shows it would not have gone in without that 26stick!
-
PP..
-
Oh joy. :-|
No wait.............. Yippeee! :wackysmile:
-
The passing sucks. It’s way too lazy.
-
It's official. Ovi gonna end the year with 5. :-(
-
Well that's not very positive, is it. :raised-eyebrow:
-
Well that's not very positive, is it. :raised-eyebrow:
We're gonna find out. :snicker:
-
Think happy thoughts........... :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:
-
GOOOAAALLLL
DOWD
-
Okay let me rephrase that.........
Think happy thoughts about the team and this game.......
-
:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

horeshit officiating

:clown:
:poop: :O=
-
Chicagos future is bright!!
-
Here we go.........
Or not.
-
Caps win. Wilson and Oshie got ejected for letting the zebras know how bad they suck.
-
8 goals in last two!! Woot
-
Solid win. Nice to not shit the bed on a team we should beat.
Ovi has to wait till Thursday I guess. :-X

I didn't think the refs were that bad tonight. :huh: They certainly didn't seem biased.
-
Pretty good for the second game in a back to back. :clap:
-

It looked like a fairly clean game, aside from the tripping calls there wasn’t much to call.
-
This positive thinking seems to be working. :angel:
On that note...... Ovi needs to lay off the chocolate fudge cake and do a few sprint laps in the swimming pool EVERY morning. Low impact, high cardio.
Jus' sayin'
:P
-
next game is Thursday night in Pilly
-
Sweet dreams peeps. :hearts:
:yawn:
-
I recently saw a guy comment on RMNB that they need an Amber Alert for Ovechkin. :snicker:
Really, though, the Caps must be doing this with pixie dust. Going into yesterday, our team leaders in points (Ovie, Wilson) were tied for 152nd in the league.
-
Lets just hope Ovi does still show up...It could be a difference maker with another scorer.
Wilson looks fantastic this year. Every part of his game is better (except the hitting, which he's been forced to dial down)
-
Really, though, the Caps must be doing this with pixie dust.
Up till the last 2 games, no doubt it was pixie dust and sure to run out. Lately they've scored goals and not needed the keeper to stand on his head all game. "Appears" to be some gelling going on, but we'll have to see. And yea, Ovi need an Amber Silver Alert put out. lol
25 games in: Ovi 5, Oshie 1, Carlson 1. (at least 2 of Ovie's were empty nets) :'(
