This game ought to tell us if the last two were just a blip on the radar.

This game is gonna send Caps fans screaming "the sky is falling" :-X
-
Im expecting an L. I'll bitch while it happens, if it happens. But knew we'd go on a cold spell at some point. We always do..
-
Eller is out with an illness and "will miss some time" WTF kind of illness do they put you on IR for?
That's gonna hurt the 3rd line and vs Canes is tough time for that.
-
NJ lost to Columbus, so a win tonight puts Caps back atop the East
-
Time for Lappy to step up as a 3C. Not sure he has it in him yet, but.. Next man up time!!
And yea, "some time" for illness is odd. Maybe he has covid?
-
damn, forgot about the lines. Had to make Dinner and walk the dog.
It doesn’t appear the Caps called anyone up from Hershey yet.
-
Well, we can see how this is going....Caps PP vs hot goalie hot goalie hot goalie.

Sadly, I went for a nap around 9pm and woke at 6.30 this morning. :omg: I didn't even finish my bubbly. The shame.
Sunday sounds promising for me..... :cross:

Carberry shouldn't be all that happy with that game. They spent way, way, WAY too much time in their own end puck watching, puck chasing and getting beaten in one on one or even one on two battles. If not for Lindgren, Carolina wins easily. We were damn lucky to come out of the 2nd up 3-0 because Carolina dominated that period and most of the 3rd, too. They looked faster and crisper. Very fortunate to escape with a win.
