McMike had a good chance there.
-
WAKE UP LILLY!! THE GAMES ON!!
:snicker:
-
It took longer than it should have but I got a good link just as McMike had his chance
-
Charlieeeee!
-
They look surprisingly crisper than I expected. Couple break downs but all in all, so far so good.
-
It’s PP time
nope
-
PP looks like crap as usual. 3/4 over before they decided to actually dump it deep and chase it. They're attacking that half wall skate it in shit.

:O=

This team looks even more dreadful than I expected. Just awful. Long, long season ahead.
-
Oh well, they had about 20 minutes worth of gas.. :-\
-
:clown: :poop: Game over.

PP
looked better, Caps will get another minute of PP to start the 3rd
-
Boys need to hit the range. Aim sucks.
-
So our smurf experients continue with Phillips. He will play a few games for us and that will be it. Those tiny guys rarely work out and I don't think he has the speed and hands to make it. I'm concerned about Milano for the same reason.
Nobody has really stood out too much, one way or another.
I would have hoped with it being the home opener that the physicality would have been ramped up, but we are in the new, kinder and gentler NHL....
-
what did i come back from dinner for?
should have stayed for one more beer.
-
Wonder when we'll score our 1st goal. Tonight, Monday, maybe Wednesday? :huh: From the looks of it, it'll be like a TVR defected goal or something. :wackysmile: lol
-
nothing like getting shutout in your home opener to set a tone for the year
caps ever been shutout in a home opener?
wonder how many home openers start with a shutout this year
-

should’ve stayed for several more

my stream didnt come back from commerial
-
and i cant type on this laptp
-
glad to see our GT is up to par this year.
and WTF was carlson doing coasting into the ozone with the puck going the other way
-
Well at least they fixed the shot total. Put us back to 18. :rofl: 18 fucking shots in 60 minutes. I'll say it again, all these old fars aren't gonna help Ovi's task, at.all. Change my mind. :(
Monday I guess.

It’s only game one with a new coach

Pffffffffff
-
Boy, that was not a good showing. :'(
-
Team just doesn't have any gas. Any fight back. Been an issue for a few years now. We get behind multiple goals and the wheels usually just fall completely off. Game 1, I get it, but these old eyes can still see.

I've been saying that for a long time. These washed up, slow vets will do nothing to help Ovie. From what I saw last night, this team might struggle to win 35 games. Age mixed with lack of talent is no way to build a roster. We've degraded slowly since the SC win and this is looking like rock bottom. It's bad.
-
Yep. 25 goals is gonna be a stretch, imo. And that's counting on about 15 from the PP.. We have ALL the old/slow guys on 1 line. They create zero space. It's gonna be a long 2-4 years till this goal record is achieved (or abandoned) unfortunately. I'd put Ovie with Wilson and Kuznetsov or Strome. 2 other guys who are either fast or can create space. Nick and Oshie is gonna be a grueling struggle.
-
Well, they are never as bad as they look when they have a bad game, and never as good as they look when they have a good game. That being said, that was bad! We played against another old, slow team and looked old and slow. I hate to say it, but I think Oshie is done. I love the guy, but he looked awefull and he just can't skate or stay on his feet with any pressure. I was counting on Backstrom being a big drag on the salary structure, but Oshie isn't great either at $5.75 for this year and next.
The bright side is that we lose the Mantha contract after this year, the Backstrom and Oshie the year after. But then we have Carlson and Ovi for a year after that......
-
We should beat the Flames tomorrow.
-
I mean, it's hockey, so we "could" beat the Flames. Should is kinda a stretch.
