Let's go Caps!!!!
-
Caps were hot the first 5 minutes..
-
horse shit call
-
Caps looked better the first 8 min or so and have had some chances.
Lindy has made the stops or gotten lucky, but damn he's looked lost about 6-8 times in net.
-
scoreless 1st..
-
We were out playing them till the refs got involved. I hear we lost to them in overtime, last time we played? lol JoeB's only mentioned it a half dozen times so far. :raised-eyebrow:
-
Caps draw first blood!!!
-
GOOOAAALLLL
DOWD
-
:poop:
:clown: :O=
-
How does the gorilla in goal for them not have like a 1.05 GA? He takes up 3/4 of the net w/o pads or a stick. :huh:
-
nother pp . .
-
1 to 1 after two
-
What a shitty PP. Guess it's pray for another deflection time. We're on a game and 2/3 with 2 goals total. :-\

Glad I was able to make it for the good bits. ;D
Back to bed for me. Night night.
-
good win in Toronto, tomorrow night in Montreal..
-
Another nice road DUB!!! Was on the phone and missed most of the 3rd, other than watching out the corner of my eye.. Looked like we controlled most of it! Hope they saved some gas for tomorrow!!
6 more W/O Ovi!!
Tomorrow at 7 vs the Habs.

Good effort. Nice win. Honestly thought after missing all our chances in the 1st half of game we'd for sure let it slip away. Nice kick assist by the ref to bump the puck out in front for McMike to score.
And yes...it was Tavares who punched the back of fever's head to send his helmet flying, and then Tavares who then immediately had the golden opportunity that Lindy stretched across to save. I would have been royally peeved if he'd scored there. Not sure how the refs missed it - right in front of the net.
Also....just a tad of sweet justice for Protas with the ENG...HE is the one who did NOT sink an ENG in the previous Toronto game that resulting in them tying, then winning in OT.
Did i hear Joe B correctly in that he said Caps have not won a game in Toronto in 5 years?
-
Oh, and 4 back to backs in December to follow the four back to backs in November. That's some BS scheduling. Although, I'd rather now than in March.
-
Great game from the boys. Loved the forechecking and they finally got physical. The result was a huge win.

I notice that there are 8 games left, the last two back to back, before the Christmas break. Would it make sense to hold him out until after Christmas? I can't believe they'd bring him back and have him play in back to back games right away.

Yea, that makes more sense. I didn't look at the schedule, just took a guess that he'd miss 13 games. But, if he's ready, he's ready! We'll have to see!
I was hoping more people would "play", but you (me about 4-5 games ago) ask questions like that during the GDT's and nobody even see's it or just ignores ya. lol
I'll pencil you in for 15 (8 more) though! :P

Well I originally said they'd wait till after the Christmas break, but that was without counting games....So I guess that ties me with BlackIce at 15, and you know how I feel about Mick and my sister so...Gimmie 14; Ovi plays the home game before Christmas.
But damn if he plays the home game and then doesn't play the second night, will cause all kinds of drama and panic that he missed the second game and "he was brought back too early" n shit. I can't take Mick's 13 so Im stuck with it. 14
But damn...if he plays the home game, then he only missed 13...ah fuck it....14!
