Caps challenge for high stick
of course.. Caps shouldn’t even bother challenging anymore
-
Against the NHL that's above the bar. Us? Who knows. :clown:
-
that must’ve been an official review, there is no PP for the Oilers
-
Double :clown: :poop:
Not sure what replay they looked at. Behind the net cam says that stick was above the bar. Doesn't need to be a foot above does it? lol
-
It's gonna get even uglier....
-
Prolly gonna have to shoot the puck if we intend to score today, huh?

Chech the nhl scores around the league.
Only 1 home team won today, and it was in OT
All other home teams have gotten/are getting slaughtered.
Day after Thanksgiving day curse?
-
lol not even a shot on goal. We're never scoring a PP goal again.
:clown: :clown: :clown: :clown: :clown: :poop:
You see their PP. Every pass they inch closer toward the net. Attacking. We fart around along the wall deciding if we can get possession, then IF we do, all our passes we're usually backing up, getting further spread out. Then the one down low play we have someone forces a pass that gets picked off. Pathetic.
-
Painfull.
Just painfull to watch.

Makes sense. They go out to eat as a team, have a nice dinner then back to the room to watch some football and rest. We probably eat way too much with family, have alcohol, lots of desert..

We're not much better. We have 1 more pp goal than you on 10 less chances. We were a man up 2 weeks ago for 6 min with a full 2 min 2 man advantage.
We got 3 shots total to their 4 SH shots...

Jesus, we're ofer the last FIFTY minutes on the PP. :rofl: 0-25 :-( wait.. :rofl:
Shit is impossible. lol
-
Both teams I cheer for are woefully inept on the PP...
We have as many PP goals (4) as we do SH goals (4)
Havent been able to see any games this year, only can see stats, is Edmunson back in line up, how's OV looking, and how's my boy chucky sideburns? (Charles Lundgren)?

He doesn’t look good today, but I think that’s more the squad in front of him.
-
Edmundson been back for a couple games. Looks good. Ovi, so-so. Nothing approaching Gr8 standards. Chucky been on fire, till (they hung him out) today.
Man, another Ovi goal erased because of a fucking misdraw? lol Fucking refs want to play games with the drop, then call it off. BS.
-
Appreciate the updates.
I was SUPER EXCITED when y'all ssigned Edmunson. He was a BEAST on our SC team (and the years prior).
Chucky Sideburns i was super bummed we had to let him go as we have Joel Hofer as our backup.
Statistically speaking, OV is either playing hurt or father time caught up to him QUICK :(

That's the 2nd or 3rd Ovi's had called back this year. But yea, he's not looking like Ovi much. He's also been very pass happy for some reason.
-
Can you even imagine going a full game, a man up, w/o scoring a goal? We're 3 PP's away from achieving something like that. :wackysmile:
-
Caps passing sucked for most of the game.
-
:clown: :poop:
I got chores to do
-
Cancel Thanksgiving next year. :-( lol
Reality check.. Hope they bouce back!
See ya Monday/Tuesday morning. 10:30pm :clown: :poop:
-
Thank goodness that's over.
At least I didn't have to lose any sleep for that.
-
This is about how I expect they'll look more often than not.

Same, I wait for the shoe to drop every game. lol
PK and goaltending has been their saving grace so far, imo. We don't score enough to overcome lopsided special teams. Got to figure the PP out.

I think you guys are right. Next year, I'm going to Vegas and betting the house on all the road teams the day after Thanksgiving!!
-
Maybe the car, not the house. :snicker:
-
I was going to bet your house, not mine.....
-
If you really want to get him the feels, bet his bass boat.
:snicker:

Ya'll found my stash? :'(
:raised-eyebrow:
