FUCK THE NHL
-
as noted elsewhere, the Caps should all wear #43 for pregame warmups for the rest of the season
-
puck drop and I’m watching it by myself
-
:O=
-
Let's go CAPS!
-
Awesome, we look like dogshit again. :wtf: Not sure what Lavi is preaching, but we can't generate offense at all. Any/little zone time is spent along the boards. No pressure.
-
Willy made an announcement through his agent that he won’t be appealing the 7 games
:raised-eyebrow:
buttman needs to go, he’s ruining the league
-
Why wouldn't he appeal? At the very least it'd save him some money.

Ovi and Kuzy not playing well at all in my view. Need them to generate offense.
-
For a team with this many offensive threats not yo score is ridiculous. They need to play harder and crash the net.
-
Goin hard to the net? I guess that's a thing? :-\
-
And for one of the most prolific scorers in history it would be nice if 8 hit the net once tonight.
-
See! Got him going!
-
Awful first period.
Much better 2nd.
-
Ovi and Orlov steal a couple 5 hole'rs! Was beginning to think we'd never score.
-
OV gets #714, and Orly gets one in the last :30
-

my guess is he was threatened, the league probably told him if he appeals they would drag their feet until all 7 games are served anyway, just like last time
-

Right. I guess they could actually give him more games if they wanted to? Too bad the less pushback for shit like this, the more normal it becomes. They just make shit up and suspend who they want.
-
Jensen!!!!
the phlyers probably shouldn't have had two guys trying to pick on Chara
-
2 goals from the D is nice!
-
Lol. Every time we get hemmed in our zone we get called for something. Whatever..
-
We suck at the empty net.
-
I bet the flyers are enjoying having fans back in the building :snicker:
Caps win 3-1!
-
Solid 40 minute win. Sammy looked good! 1-0 w/o the heartbeat.. 6 to go.
-
I'm going to miss Oshie when he's gone.
-
We suck at the empty net.
As long as we aren't giving up goals, who cares about empty netters.
-
getting an empty netter is basically a test of the PK, and it would be nice to not spend 4:00 in their own zone
