Maybe Mcllrath gets in a fight or something? Not sure what else there will be to watch.
Lines:
Mantha or Sheary can't finish Kuzy feeds
Nicky too slow to keep up with Milano or Mojo
Oshie too slow to keep up with Snively or Strome
Eller can't setup NAK or Hathy
Lavi gonna spread out the lines, "for consistency"! :wackysmile:
-
40 seconds of zone time my ass. It might of been in their zone 40 seconds, but we certainly didn't have control of it.
-
:O=
-
:clown: :poop:
and in contrast. Cats PP was setup in our zone probably 1:45. 2 5v5 shifts later, 0-1. :-(
-
2 PP's and 6 total SOG for the 1st period. And at last count, 287 passes! :clap: :) :rofl:
Thankfully the 150's are on from Daytona. This one's gonna be a DVR game me thinks.
-
Whoopsie!
Bit late....
Morning chaps. :wackysmile:
-
:poop: :poop: :poop:
:clown: :O=
-
Uh oh.
-
Down 2, there was still hope. 3 - zip, not so much.
-
this squad has come back from 3 down before
:cross:
-
They have and they're having a bit of a go, the backside of the second period, I just dont think it'll be enough. :-(
-
GOOOAAALLLL
STROME
-
Whoooo Hooo.
Well that's a start, anyways! ;D

:clown: :clown: :clown: :clown:

:wtf:
-
Can't ever remember seeing Oshie that upset.

8-0 Why do the Cats have Star Wars night on March 2nd???
Surely it's on May 4th! :lmao:

BACKY

:banana: :banana: Bobs wasn't expecting that.
-
ANOTHER PPG
KUZY
:clap:
-
of course
-
O M G!!!!!!!
Our fellas are havinga go!

Aaaaand there's the nail in that coffin.
Night night all. :yawn:
-
Two PP goals is the only bright spot. The PP needs a big kick in the ass, and the problem isn’t having 74 out of the lineup.
-
All ya really needed to see was entering the 3rd, down 4-1. Our push? 7 minutes in, with a PP.. 0 shots on goal.

This team is officially a dumpster fire. Finishing well out of the playoffs might be the best outcome. The question is whether the FO realizes that a major rebuild is upon them.
-
I got home late and heard it was 3-0. Just didn't have the energy for it.
Caps gonna wake up and squeak into the playoffs and then stomp the Bruins in the first round 4w-1L. :uh-huh:
Oh wait, did I wake up there for a second...or am I still dreaming?
Caps currently technically cling to last WC spot - tied in points with the Cats, but when the Caps lose to the Canes Saturday, the Panthers will officially knock the Caps out of that spot with more ROW. And with a tie or a win the Isles will pass us too.

A dumpster fire with nothing but gas to try and put it out. We're gonna cling to Nicky, Oshie, Kuzy and Carlson, so in 3 or 4 years Ovi can (hopefully) take a picture as the GOAT, with the original 5 wearing Caps unis.. (Then it'll take another 2-3 years to get back to anything resembling a good NHL team) :)
