Lindgren was taken off IR yesterday. I’m guessing he will be the backup. Dowd was put on IR today and Lapierre has been called up. Milano is out.. illness.
Sharks are winless through 8 games…
::)
Calgary at Edmonton tonight at 7pm for the outdoor Heritage Classic game.

:poop: :clown:

We need to improve on TVR.
Another observation, Oshie looks like he's lost 2.5 steps. His hands used to make up for it, but those are missing at the moment as well.
-
E'ening all. :wackysmile:
Clocks went back last night.......
-
Sadly our Caps are waaaay too generous to teams that are flagging even worse than us. :snicker:
Also check out who the refs are. :-(
-
uh oh.
That's Fever gone. Concussion protocol for sure. :gundang:
-
We just look tired today. Legs, arms, everything, tired. :-\
-
Somebody tell our fellas that I'm here now and we can start playing. :P
-
Fever's back! 8)

PP time
-
Ok, snorts for everyone before this PP! :wackysmile:
-
PP is at the other end of the ice fellas..
-
1 danger chance. Grandpa needed a couple extra seconds to get a shot away. :'( lol
-
ohhhh.. Now it makes sense. Sharks are winless on the season. :)
-
Refs are gonna balance out the pp's in the third, methinks.
-
Caps better step it up in the 3rd..
-
Kuzy not has his statutory rest in the box yet...
-
:banana:
-
Missed it. Had to finish watching that boring as short track race at Martinsville. :-( But at least Stromer has some jam this year! Bummer our other 40+ million of "skills" can't do much.

Jolly good third period. :clap:

Strome continues to impress. 8)

It's nice to see the sea of red in the stands and not too many fans have been suckered into buying those awful blue shirts. :P
-
I thought Ovi got a splinter on Wilson's goal.
Kuzy cracks the score sheet finally! Only one left is Sloshie! :raspberry: :snicker:
Oh, and Slakie too. :wackysmile: lol

I thought Ovi got a splinter on Wilson's goal.

Way to go Stromer. Kid is for real this year.
Love it: shoot the puck and see what happens. Goalie wanted that one back for sure, but Willy's big ass was screening him.
Glad to see Willy get one...he's had some good chances. Good dirty goal, yeah baby - park that big caboose in front and move people out your way and chip that puck in.
I thought it was Ovi's goal too Mick...till I watched the replay.
Kuzy...finally...although he has played well enough - except for all the Fn penalties. I think the refs have had enough of his Fn mouth chirping at them, and he is dumb with the stick reach sometimes, but I'd say at least 1/3 of the Caps penalties this year have been Total BS or real cheapies.
Oshie has not looked good at all. I'd put Big Willy on the PP in the middle down low. He has good hands and better reach, better size, better wheels.
I know they use him on the PK, but still. I guess you could put strome in the middle, but you don't wall all three centers out there at one time.
Three in a row...damn....but then...didn't realize SJ was....playing this poorly all year
-
Thursday? WTF. Who makes the damn schedule. Start two days later than everyone else, then make up for it in the first 2 weeks, then a four day break.
Hell they old and need rest, but four days...Food Lion chicken be fresher than these guys after four days off.
then they get three away games in four days the week after.
