Suppose we'll find out if the better teams just been overlooking us (ie: trap games) or if we're serious.  :cross:  Saw we still only have like a 6% chance of the loffs, but I guess until it's over, it's not over.

OV is a game time decision, Kuemper in net

So "maintenance day" was for an actual injury of some sort.  :-(  No way to get a maximum win w/o an Ovi goal. Hope he can go!  :cross:

Good for Snively.  :'(  My guess is he'll just move everyone up a line, from what you have posted above.

it feels like this should be the 3rd, not the 1st

Can't take getting a beating and listening to the NY homers at the same time. Tuned into Caps Radio 24/7 and it's a podcast or something, talking about the Caps. No JoeB/Locker? Is it just because it's intermission or am I in the wrong place?

I haven’t used the caps radio app in years because of things like that. You should be able to get 106.7 over the interwebs, but I’d go directly to the station website, their app is worse than the caps.

They went to JoeB and Lock before the period started. Didn't help.  :raspberry: 


Getting WAY outclassed tonight. More passes in skates, whiffs and slow skates then a weekday night Beer League.

Yea, little life shown. Too little too late though. Rags probably idling along waiting to see if they need to turn it up again or not. Probably not.

Caps Radio is hillarious. Have to keep refreshing every 10 minutes or so cause they keep wanting me to go "premium". One time it's behind the game, next it's synced perfect, next ahead..  :clown:

You know when you only get goals from your snipers, its hard to win....


A-K
Irwin
Dowd


Buffalo scouting this game and quaking in their boots....more like licking their chops for their next win.


And I think I actually quoted some games back when both A-K and Irwin scored in the same game - you'd NEVER see that again.
Looked it up (it was easy since Irwin scores so often)
Irwin has a total of TWO goals this year - the previous was Mar 4 vs SJS
A-K has four goals on the year - previous was indeed Mar 4 vs SJS
