-
Kings are going for their 6th win in a row
:)
-
Thanks for the GDT Alta.
So, the team with the worst PP in the league is taking on the team with the best PK in the league. This should be fun .......
-
Right.
Lapierre will scratch tonight, NAK in the lineup. I assume this moves Protas back to center but haven’t seen confirmation yet.
-
Caps get not one, but TWO PPG tonight. :)

We've got to be the 2nd best PK, don't we? Seems like we've only given up 1 or 2, in the length of time we've not scored on the PP? I was waiting to see which would fuck up first and cost us a game.
-
I just rechecked nhl.com/stats, and it says Caps have the 21st best PK in the league.
Same thing it said at 1pm.
:raspberry:
-
Eeek.. Yea, they couldn't stop anything the first couple games. Guess they just went on a run. Figures that unicorn success didn't hold up either. :raspberry:
-
several games back the PK was 12th, I really hadn’t thought they gave up that many PPGs since
Game 16 the Caps PK was 11th, game 17 they gave up 3 PPGs to the Oilers
that phukin Oilers game.. oofa
-
Oh yea, the Oilers.. :-( Rat bastards!
Oh well, don't we worry, McMike will save us! :snicker: :raspberry:
-
Where's Lil? It's only 3am over there. Fucking slacker! ::) :snicker:
-
pregame is on channel 2 again, it sure was nice of Caps.com to provide that information
-
That's one good thing about dropping center ice and getting espn+.. I now get pre and post game.
Im still curious how their timing is. Is it live, 30 seconds behind.. Stream is rock solid though, so eitherway.
-
JoeB's right. That damn post "ping" sound is annoying.
Im gonna find and change my ringtone to it, cause I fucking hate talking on the phone. :rofl:
-
Let's go Chucky!! We're gonna need ya bud!!
-
Kings are quick.

:O=
:clown: :poop:

GOOOAAALLLL
MANTHA
-
Mantha! From McMike!
-
But the REALLY cool thing about relying on streaming now is, I got an email from Xfinity (internet) that my "area" is scheduled for maintenance tonight at 1am. :) :wackysmile: :( lol
-
LA is BIG!
-
what a crap call
-
Well. I ain’t gonna make this one. Dozing off already
-
LA is BIG!
I’m surprised they didn’t scratch Phillips for this one.
-
1 to 1 after one
-
Fortunate score. I'll take it though.
-

Lame. You can make it one more period.
-
We had 1 good chance and scored. Gonna need to keep that ratio. lol We do a lot of skating around and not creating much.
-
Lindy plays low in the net. My only real complaint about him. He leaves the top open. ALOT
-
Yeah the first ten minutes I was like…have we even been in the La zone?
-

Man hush, aint you supposed to be sleepin'?? :rofl:
-
Will they ever give Ethan a shot??
-

He just seems to cover so much more of the net than DK does.

GOOOAAALLLL
MCMICHAEL
-
McMike! Caps lead 2-1 after 2, cause it's hockey! lol
-

Come on now.. #hillbillystrong :snicker:

Im half shocked GMBM didn't trade away McMike and watch him become Forsberg 2.0ish somewhere else. Kid is pretty good! Hopefully he keeps on gettin' it!
-
Lol right after that line gets going we will trade 39
-
:poop:
-
Well, got 1 overturned finally..
Now we take another penalty. :(
-
Nice Pk! Hangin by a thread!
-
Fuck yea! Needed Vezina caliber tending, got Vezina caliber tending!!
-
Outstanding effort!
-
Oh well.. Guess you guys will see, Santa Clause is real, when you wake up in the morning. :snicker:
See ya tomorrow! 10pm start! Ewwww an early one! :raspberry:
-
Outstanding effort!
Nice! Capsfan made it to the end!! :thumbsup:
-
Cap’s win 2-1
-
Wow, a win and 2 points for Mantha? What's next? A PP goal?
-

Okay NOW you are being ridiculous.... a PP goal 8-0
-
Good job fellas. I knew the game was over when I quit at the end of second.
Way to go Caps
-
So many times we've been the team that outplayed, out shot, and out chanced the other team only to lose to a "hot goalie". Nice to have the "hot goalie" for a change.
Lose 2-1 to the worst team in the league then beat one of the hottest teams 2-1. The Caps definitely keep it interesting.
-
I just re-watched the condensed game. M&M&P line had like 5 legit scoring chances. Ovi and Willy had a couple as well, but M&M line had some great chances...they could have easily had 4 or 5 goals.
Hope they stick together and actually gel. Neither Mantha or Protas have the greatest hands ever, but if it goes in, it goes in.
M&M Peanuts line? McMike/Mantha/Protas
so funny to see them hug after the goal...Mantha/Protas and Edmunson with Mikey in the middle make him looks like a little kid
McMike now tied for 2nd with Ovie with 5 goals. Mantha has 4 tied with Kuzy & Wilson
Stromer still leading the way with 8
-
The Caps were given zero PPs last night. The game I was watching looked they should’ve had at least two.

Oh yeah and the slashing call on Stromer was complete horseshit
-
IIRC, post game (monumental) stats showed the Kings 1/3 on the PP? Pretty sure they didn't score on a PP and Alta's scoring summary says the same. :huh: I just remember a lucky bounce off the back boards that put the puck on a Kings stick? Anyway, no PP's for us was BS, especially after they called at least 2 of the 3 on us, that were horse shit.
Still hate the offside challenge, but I believe I saw after we reviewed the call and got the turnover, they had to put over a MINUTE of time back on the clock.. lol That shit is nuts.
I forgot about Sandin's save. Charlie was putting on a clinic!
