Whoop there it is!
:banana: :banana: :banana:
Hope the Caps show up for this one. Pretty meaningless except for trying to catch Shittsburgh.
Hens have pretty easy schedule left. Caps, not so much. Hens will likely win 3 of their last 4 (Detroit, Philthy, Edmonton, CBJ)..or maybe just two.
Caps would have to win two more games than the Hens to catch pass them....or 1 more win plus an OT. Caps have Arizona, Toronto, Isles, Isles, Rangers
Caps currently 2pts behind Hens with tonight's game in hand.
Go Caps

Who won? :raspberry:

Who won? :raspberry:
the fishes you didn’t catch today :wackysmile:
-
You cut me deep there bro.. :'(
-
there’s a reason it’s called fishing, if it were easy it would be called catching
-
You know that's right! I'd of loaded the boat today though.. Windy and cloudy.. My buddy's back is fucked up or we'd of been out there!
-
how long have you been in fla?
-
Morning :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:
-
25 years.
Mornin' Lil!
-
wow, sometimes it’s better to be lucky
-
Not sure how that stayed out. We looked pretty stout until that shitty PP..
-
Mick, did you ever go up to Lake Erie in the spring for small mouth?
-
GOOOOAAAALLLL
-
Whooo Hoooo!
-
Nah, I've never been north of NYC fishing, except when I was like 10 years old. Never had the pleasure of fishing the Great lakes. Those tank smallies would be a fuckin blast though! I've caught some med/small ones in Va and Tn. they fight like hell!
Play Da Song!!! Sheary Baby!!
-
morning Lil, try to stay awake this time :snicker:

I went up to Dunkirk NY three times for smallies in the spring. It’s highly dependent on water temp so you gotta have a flexible schedule, or a boss that really likes to fish. But you get there about two days before they start going to bedding and it is catching, damn near every cast.
-
Yea, I have a friend who has family in upstate NY and he likes to rub it in when he visits.. (Right around spawn time)
-
morning Lil, try to stay awake this time :snicker:
I'll try. Not sure hoow ong I' ll last.....
-
at least the zebras are reviewing it, the league must’ve gotten an earfull after yesterday
-
Looks like 2-0 to me, but what do I know?
-
horse shit call
-
I guarandamntee if that exact play happened and it resulted in the team putting it in their own net it would’ve counted.
Ain’t no fukin reason it shouldn’t count on the other end.
-
Feels like we're gonna need another goal before this one is over..
-
This is the longest intermsssion E V E R
-
third pp for the Caps…
-
We're just beggin for trouble here.. And they've not had a PP yet.
-
that’s four pp’s
-
the Caps have a weak pp tonight
-
We fuckin suck. Lol..
-
Thank ya Jesus..

Coyotes playing for pride, Caps acting like it’s a scrimmage, and Vtec gets a shutout :huh:
-
Good for Van the Man. :clap:
Sweet dreams.
-
Ugly Fairly unattractive 2 pts, but we'll take em'!! :wackysmile:
Good for VV!! Actually had a goalie steal us one for a change!!
See you guys Sunday night!!

Snoozefest, I guess - I haven't seen anything about the game other than comments that the Caps didn't seem to be working too hard. Hard to believe that Vanacek stole anything when Arizona had only 19 shots, unless most of them were 10-bell chances.
I noted something interesting - despite what everyone in the hockey world seems to agree is mediocre goaltending, the Caps are one of three teams (along with Minnesota and Chicago) with 5 shootout victories. I think, since the Caps have had 11 OTL of which at least 9 are losses in the OT period, that they have no more than 2 shootout losses. Not a bad result for mediocre goaltending.
People say the only remaining drama is whether we can catch Pittsburgh. But at this point the Caps are tied with Boston as well, though Boston has a game in hand (and 5 games in the last 7 days of the season, including 2 back-to-backs with travel). If we were to pass Boston rather than the Pens in the standings, then wouldn't they play FLA and we play our Division winner? Passing Pittsburgh means a 2/3 Metro matchup in the first round, which might be slightly preferable, but the way Florida is playing right now, avoiding them in the first round at all costs would seem to be the most important outcome.

I guess "stole" is a little strong.. Whether it was luck or skill he did keep a few 10 bell chances out of the net. We'd of been toast against a more skilled team though. We put a bunch of shots on their tender, but nothing scary. Best shot of the night hit the post (Mantha) and some "nearly, just missed, almost" stuff. VV looked good for the full 60 minutes, which is a rare feat these days.

Vanacek looked much more under control than Samsonov. Usually the less amount of movement, the better unless they're coming out to cut down angles. Quire a few times this year, Samsonov has overcommitted so much to a move to one side that he's out of position and can't dig his skate in and get a push off to the other post. Vanacek is guilty of that occasionally but looks much calmer in goal than Sammy. They should stick with VV.
Big test tonight the way Toronto has pushed us around in two games. This will tell us if anything other than 8th is realistic.
