Sheesh - I've been looking at our specialty statistics all season and wondering how we've done as well as we have, because we have been middle to bottom in everything.
But Winnipeg looks as bad as us - or worse, and they have a much better record than we do.
-
Winnipeg took a 5-0 beating, their last game, so you know they're going to come out with some fire tonight.
-
Shit, no Willy tonight. :( But we get Oshie back. Chucky will start!
-
Jets might be down a Dman, DeMelo went straight down the tunnel after running into a teammate.
-
Rope a dope.. Lets go boys!!
-
I haven’t seen DeMelo back out but his TOI says he is
-
:poop:
:clown: :O=

5 hole my ass. Stop the fucking puck Chuck. Aint got time for that shit.
-
not the best 1st period, not the worst either
-
Started playing a little after they gave up the goal. Need to be much better though.
-
Morning chaps
:wackysmile:
-
8-0
ummm. Could have sworn it was a 7.30 start...... :huh:
-
Mornin' Lil.
Clocks moved up an hour yesterday.
-
:raspberry:
Well Im here now. Our guys can start playing now.
-
I’m really beginning to hate the clock changes
-
This all looks a little frought.
-
:poop: :poop:
-
Oh well, was hoping we could steal one. They're just better than we are.
-

Hated them for years. Needs to stay where it is now.
-
Some pretty poor puck control. :raised-eyebrow:
-

Works in my favour. ;)
-
S'not looking good. :-\
-
Afraid it's Shutout City tonight boys and girls.. Team has no willy. :(
-
We've gone back to the "Keystone Cops" method of playing tonight. :clown: Our passing is sloppy again.
-
Caps are only down by 2, they can do this
:cross:
-
ANybody know how many sog's we had for that period?
-
This Jets team is pretty good. Huge size and they can hold onto the puck - could make a long playoff run.
Not much to get enthused about for the Caps. Could be down about 6-0 if not for Charlie.

Well, this road trip has been sticking out on the schedule like a sore thumb for awhile. We are playing a bunch of teams who are objectively as good as to significantly better than we are, we have to do all the traveling, and the schedule is compressed - 5 games in 8 days. THIS is where our final position in the standings will start to come into clearer focus.
-
They're too big, we're too small
They're too fast, we're too slow.
-
Wednesday it is.. Late, 10pm
-
Caps lose 3-0
-
Ho hum.
Nighty night. :yawn:
-
Yeah well...the Jets are tough to score on....I had this down as a loss before it started. Caps strung several very well played games together...and that's asking a lot from this team
-
Wasn't able to watch the game last night but I just caught the highlights and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The Jets are one of the better teams in the league so there's no shame in losing to them. Caps just got to chock this it up as a loss and move on to the next crazy venture beneath the sky.
