Looks like Oshie is in and Lapierre is out. Hope Osh can step it back up. Hate to see Lapierre lose the experience, I was really starting to like him.
-
Yep, Lapi is back to Hershey. He reminded me of 2022 McMike. Hopefully he'll bloom into something similar with more experience.
Wonder who will get the axe when the speedster Pacioretty is ready?? :raspberry: One of NAK-Malenstyn-Milano.

Ovi and his 1 move.. lol
I swear, next chance he gets at a breakaway I'd blast a full on slap shot from 5' away. :raised-eyebrow:
-
Nice protecting the goalie! 8)
Remember when that never used to happen?
-
This passing around the boards behind the net is far, far too predictable. :raised-eyebrow:
-
POWER PLAY!!! :snicker:
-
Uh oh.
-
Solid 20 minutes.
-
Decent first.
-
Ovi gonna bust one on the PP to open the 2nd. :cross:

I'm going to try.... I'm going to be positive for the next period. ;D

-
Good PK
-
PK felt like it lasted 5 minutes. lol
Giving up some chances at the end, but hangin' in!!
-
Very good second period. Keep it up felllas! No slacking in the third.
-
We're in danger of looking like a hockey team. :snicker:
-
apparently, the Rags haven’t been playing well their last several games
-

Neither have we.
-

They dont look much like the Rags that we've been used to seeing over the last few years for sure.
-
Didn't they used to be bigger?
-
Something I've noticed recently is that if we get a one or two man breakaway, it takes ages for the third man to get there to back them up, hence the need for the round the boards behind the net plays, untill the rest of our guys catch up.
-
6 is nothing special
-
Good for you AK
-
Damn, Ovi content to just stand there the whole 2 minutes. :-( He's gonna have to start moving his feet, whether he likes it or not, if he want's to score goals.

Take a picture. Bout as dominant a win as we'll see in the near future!
Chuckeeee Shutout!!
-
Seems Lavi is doing to the Rags, what he did to us. :smirk:
-
Pretty good showing. Passing was better this game.
So pleased for Lindy. :) I was hoping he'd have a good showing tonight and he did. Well done that man.
-
Solid 60!!
-
And yet........
Am I the only one that feels like we've just kicked an injured puppy?
-
So, so happy for Lindy.
Sweet dreams all. :hearts:
-
They lead the division. 1st time back to back losses on the season. They're not injured puppies. We just played solid for 60 minutes w/o anything stupid happening, for a change.
back2back tomorrow night! 7pm @ Chi
See ya'll then!!
-
The Caps were %60 at the faceoff tonight.
-
Happy to see the dominate Lavi. That guy, and his refusal to develop younger players, did a lot of damage to our team. He also, didn't have the guts to make hard decisions.
