Caps lose 8-3

The broadcast channel for tonight’s game is in dispute. Caps dot com says it’s on the primary, the Caps twits say it’s on 2. The cable guide says 2 is off air all night and basketball is on 1.
I assume the lines are the same as last night, except for the goalie.

Last week they showed the upcoming schedule for the next few games. One of the games said Monumental 2, but I can't remember which. I just remember seeing Monumental 2 and thinking you'd be pissed. :snicker:

I’m highly annoyed that professionals that run the website of a professional sports team can’t post accurate information. Its not a difficult job.

pre game just started on 2, despite the on screen guide saying it’s off air

Basic common sense is a stretch for most "professionals" these days.

This is the shit that makes me question the system. It's 6-3 We're in their zone, they get it, turn it over at the blue line while we still have 2 guys near the net. Our first play is to throw it back in the corner. :( We never attack. It's always throw it in the corner first.
7-3 :clown: :poop: :O=
Wilson gets a breakaway and doesn't even get a shot on goal. :rofl: Oof..

Don't ya'll be bitchin at me!! :goalie: :raspberry: :snicker:

Detroit's at home, and didn't play yesterday.
We had to play yesterday, then travel to play a back-to-back. It's one of those situations that the scheduling can affect. You can say that the guys are professionals and should be able to handle it, but the scheduling does give Detroit the advantage tonight. I think situations like this become more of a factor as the season wears on and cumulative fatigue becomes more of an issue.
It goes both ways, so I'm sure we've had the situation in our favor as well during the season. But it is what it is, which is why it was good to win last night's game.

ENOUGH ALREADY!

Agree 100%. And Caps overall team age makes this more of a factor as well I think. Oh, and we only mediocre to begin with....and we just won 4/5 last games....
Also....Detroit got WAY more high end talent than we got...That doesn't hurt. We don't have even one player in the Larkin, DeBrindecat Gostisbehere skills category.
Honestly looking at Detroit's roster, they should be winning way more than they are.
