Title: GDT: XB Game Caps v Canes 7-29-2020
Post by: Mickstix on Wednesday July 29, 2020, 05:08:34 PM Eastern
Why not.. Hockey!!


Boys looked pretty good in the 1st period, for a half a year off. Nice to see the Office Open for business!! Thought the Canes goal was a little bullshitish but whatever.. Not really all that excited about it yet, but it's hockey, so there's that! Hope for a healthy post season!


Welcome back Caps fans!!

Do what? They pull their goalie and the backup gets "warmup" shots? Is it 1980 again?  :huh: lol

Yea, I just realized that.. Completely meaningless I recon?  :-\  I changed the title to reflect.. I thought it had some bearing on our "seeding"..

I'm just happy hockey is back.
We have to wait until the 3rd for official play.

boys were awfully physical for an exhibition game, but looked pretty good if you ignore a couple bad penalties

Yep, bout as good as could be expected tbh.. Still the PP issues in the dot and entering the zone though.

I thought the Caps looked....better than expected.
Honestly, for not playing for as long as it's been, I was surprised at the overall level of play.


Ovi sure as hell looked ready to go.


Go Caps.
