the local baseball team has a 4:05 start with a strong possibility of a rain delay, I can’t wait to see who gets the radio broadcast at 7:00
::)
-
Wilson will be in tonight. Phillips was sent to Hershey yesterday.
Oshie reportedly out the next two games, after consulting the team doctor after this morning’s skate. Which may instigate a recall from Hershey.

Website slow as fuck again. :( Anyone know who/where it originates? Needs to be rebooted or something.

It's Lill ... dragging us down with her can and strings
-
and now that I’m about to eat it’s working fine, will have to add the lines after the game starts
-
Seems fine now. It's a hit or miss thing, similar to the Caps! :wackysmile:
Must win game.. Law of averages coming for us! Teams with that big of goal differential don't make the playoffs, nor do teams that lose 4 in a row this time of year.. :smirk:
-
Time to lay a smackdown!
-

did somebody call? :raspberry:
Morning . :wackysmile:
-
FFS.. :clown: :poop:
Evenin Lil.

Shutout written all over this one. That's about our 4th woulda shoulda coulda miss. :(
-
:crying:
-
And another lucky bounce point shot. :clown: :clown: :poop:

FFS

PP upcoming. Im sure we'll make them pay here! :wackysmile: lol
-
lazy skating and passing WTF
-
Penguins easiest kill of the year.
-
dafuk
-
You'd have thought we'd be able to get up for a Hens game...........
-
I am very sad.

8-0

the simplicity of testosterone never fails to disappoint.
-
Ok, enough whining. It's time for these guys to get at it!! :raised-eyebrow: Fuck the Hens!! :raised-eyebrow: :raised-eyebrow:
-
Caps have been a bit flat so far this period
-
nother pp ..
-
:bad:
-
Oh well, see if they can keep from going 0-5 tomorrow. :clown:
Chairlie looks tired. Maybe Shepard will have better luck.
-
What’s wrong with Kuemper? Flu? and why is he listed as the backup if isn’t dressed?
Looks like Kuemp is on the bench, either that or Shepard got a haircut.
-
Feels like we're done scoring.. For the season. :rofl:
I don't know what Kuempers deal is, but I hope Shepard gets the start tomorrow.
-
Pages freezing again.
Am I the only one to notice the difference in the whole team when Oshie isn't about?
-
You know I will support our team through thick and thin, but if the team can't be bothered to show up AGAIN, don't see why I should either.
I don't know what's going on with our boys, but it needs to get sorted now. :sick:
-
If the Caps don’t show some life in the first 5:00 of the 3rd it’s over
-

Oh, it's over. Still be nice if they showed something.

Doesn't help when he's out. Consistency is a factor too, imo. Wilson out, Oshie in then out, Sandin out, Iorio in, Milano out, NAK in.. Just never ends.
-
:yawn:
-
nother pp …
and nother pp on top of it
5 vs 3
-
Oh joy, a PPPP
-
pitiful
-
A whole 4 minutes of embarrassment and humiliation. Can it get any better? :clown:
-
PP GOOOAAALLLL
OVECHKIN
-
but boy did that look bad
got it on 5 vs 4, barely
-

2 minutes :wackysmile:
-
:banana: :-|
-
Okay, so we saved the shutout and Ovi scored. It's not ALL bad. :P
-
Can't enter the zone 5 on 3, almost give up a shorty, then Ovi scores!! :rofl: Eases the heart burn just a little.
-
Our passing has been SO bad recently.
-
meh, Caps lose
now it’s just a matter of final score
-
GOOOAAALLLL
ELLER
-
Last 20 games, need 11-8-1 to have a chance. Currently 6-6-1 L4 :)
Tomorrow night 7pm. :-\
-
To the Hens in our own barn. :clown:
-
:yawn: Night chaps.
-
Tomorrow night 7pm. :-\
In Carolina
-
Well at least Ovies one step closer to the record.
-
Well sure glad i made it home in time to watch that game in its entirety.  ::)
FFS you'd think they could get up for that game after losing 3 in a row.
Now a back to back vs Carolina...I'm sure the Caps will look super sharp tonight.
Caps need at least 4 wins in the last 7 games to have a chance.
(After tonight they will need to 4 wins in last 6 games)
They really are going to push it to the final game of the season.
-
Feels like they'll go 3-3-1 down the stretch and come up a point short. :O= lol
Back to hoping Ovi can pot a couple extra before seasons end. :wackysmile:
