Pre game says Phillips is in Kuzys spot, coach didn’t want to mess with the other lines.
-
Yep. They're the 3rd line now though. The Smurf line! lol
-
Information I saw this afternoon before the injury announcement had them as line 3. The same place also had lines 2 and 3 flipped for Pilly.
-
Hathy is back
-
Edmnundson knocked himself out saying hello to Hathy. :huh:
6 minutes in. Not sure we've actually had possession of the puck yet? :rofl:
-
PP. Only took bout 90 seconds to get set up. :clown: LordaMercy..
-
I mean, we're not playing bad. Just not good. lol
WAKE UP LILLY!!!! GAME'S ON!!! :snicker:
-
Morning chaps. :wackysmile:
-
Lost track of time ::)
still I'm here now, we can start playing..... :P
-
Looks like I didn't miss much.
-
We need to go 6 on 4 during the PP. Fuck needs a goalie anyway. :raspberry: :rofl:
-
Where's Alan May? :-(
-
Dunno. They had Tarik El Bashir (reporter) in his spot for pregame.
-
Hope he's not been hanging out with Kuzy.
-
:O=
:clown: :poop:
-
May was doing pregame, I didn’t get the chance to watch intermission
-
GOOOAAALLLL
MCMICHAEL
-
sweet move there by McMike
-
:banana:
-
EF was high on Bear. with 3 Right D looks like a trade will be in there somewhere maybe a package with Kuzy eventually
-
3rd line keeps getting better, that pass by 21 and 24's stick handling just no way to defend
-
Sweet play by McMike and Protus!
McMike needs to be a priority on PP1. He's our best skilled forward, imo.

I agree but Max is coming soon too!!!
-
I miss the days when OVI used to run Risto 2-3 times a game.
-
Hopefully he can still skate. Nicky's hands were fine.
PK holdin down the fort!
Back to the PP. :wackysmile:
-
GOOOAAALLL
WILSON
that’s a power play goal
:)
-
:banana: :banana:
-
Willy on the PP!! (Shutup Rich)
-
what a horse shite call
-
:bs:
-
NHL dot com has shit the bed. They say Caps are up 2-1 but stopped updating everything else when that PP started.
-
Bro got stick checked and fell down. :raised-eyebrow:
Think there's about 1:36 left to PK..
-
There are still a few seconds left on 3 on 5.
-
It took the nhl 25 minutes to update the score sheet to reflect the Wilson PPG
-
:poop: :poop:
:clown: :O=
-
Phillips didn’t play a shift in the second, no word yet if he’s injured or the coach is mad at him.
-
GOOOAAALLLL
STROME
-
:banana: :banana: :banana:

:poop: :poop: :poop:
:clown: :O=
-
Ok bring on Bear
-
Fuckin around down the stretch. :-(
-
Overtime is not what the Caps needed here.
-
Got outworked, not good but only 3 centers tonight
-
Getting a point here is good, 2 would be better
-
We got a point.
-
Lucky to make it to regulation..
-
NHL updated gamecenter this week, and it now sucks a huge bag of donkey dicks.
-
I thought Sandin was supposed to have some O side? :huh:
SO it is..
-
Boooi
-
:O=
-
NHL tv was awesome but after the ESPN deal us users got booted ESPN+ a big step backwards
-
Oh well.
Night luvvies. :yawn:
-
Did they fart? Mostly.. :wackysmile:
Oh well, no skills for stuff like shootouts anyway. Take the point.
-
NHL media made some changes this week and they suck ass. Absolutely no reason they should’ve been doing it this late in the season.
-
Phillips had 2:44 of ice time tonight, all in the 1st period.
-
Heard NAK didn't get much ice either? Missing Kuz hurt in OT. Dude needs to get healthy and start washing his hands or something. 3 separate "illness" related scratches in 25 games? Weird.
-
Phillips at 2:44, Snively at 6:31, NAK at 9:05. Everyone else had at least 5:00 more. Carlson ended the game with 27:00. I’ve not seen the low ice time for Phillips addressed yet today.
Ironically, last night in OT Carlson didn’t look like his normal slow self. He was actually skating.
-
this team and the fookin SO.
Well Oshie looked good anyway. I was glad to see someone other than Ovi go 3rd, but Mantha?...really....Mantha?
I don't hate Strome out there, cuz for real, just in the odds.. he HAS to score on one eventually.
Much rather see McMike than Mantha, but I understand playing the hot hand....Mantha just seems to fumble at the goal line an awful lot
-
Any shootout wins with this bunch will be due to goalie robbery. Once we get past Kuzy and Oshie our SO skills get dull in a hurry.
-
So I just don't get how good coaches, can be so boneheaded in OT. Why in the world would you put Mantha out there for the critical shot in the shootout? Yes, he has played better lately, but his goals have not come from deaking out the goaltender. In fact, I bet he leads the league over the last 2 years in lowest scoring percentage on breakaways. MkMike had a beautiful stick-handling play to score a great goal earlier in the game - he should have been out there in the shootout!!! Plus, that would have been a great confidence boost for him.
