10pm oof. doubt i make it thru this one...fells like 10pm to me already
-
Same here. Got an early shift tommorrow morning.
:yawn:
-
:raised-eyebrow:
Red Bull and vodka people..
plan ahead for these things
-
Hmm.. Chucky gets the net tonight. Not sure why, we have a #1 goalie who's hot as fire at the moment.
-
on paper, this is a good matchup for Lindy to get back in the groove
-
GOOOAAALLLL
FEHERVARY
-
review for offsides
no goal
-
When will they start letting them review minor penalties too? Won't even need on ice refs. :smirk:
-
For the most part, I don’t mind the offsides challenge. But there should be a time limit.
-
Yea, pretty much dominating the period. All the mo.. Get one called back and this chump in net won't give up another one all night. :-(
-
nuthin nuthin after one
-
Our 2nd line is set, far as Im concerned. Coach needs to try Frank with Ovi/Strome. All 3 of those guys have disappeared, plus McMike looks like an AHL healthy scratch lately.
Or find a 1RW to trade for.
-
Caps don’t have many resources for a trade. They are too close to the cap limit to get anyone meaningful. Plus I don’t think they are that far off from being competitive in the playoffs. The primary component they already have even though it’s well under used at this juncture. Physicality. This team is big enough, and a lot faster than last season.
I do think Milano gets waived when he finally gets healthy. He’s not worth much on the trading block.
-
GOOOAAALLLL
PROTAS
-
Dominator line!! Proti!!
See if we can't hold the lead for more than a couple minutes.
-
this Frank kid is quick
-
PK time
-
Fever is leaking after a puck to the face. Hopefully it’s fairly minor.
-
Jeez.. Fever took one to the face. :-( Hope he's ok.
-
There he is!! Frank!!!
-
GOOOAAALLLL
FRANKY BABY
-
:goalie:
-
Caps up 2-0 after two

Just saw Fever on ice! :thumbsup:
-
Chychrun just made a guy drop his jock strap on the ice
-
it would be nice to end this game before I’m forced to pour another whiskey
-
empty net with 4:00 remaining
-
EN GOOOAAALLLL
OVECHKIN
-
you get a shutout and you get a shutout
Lindy :)
-
He didn't miss that one! OVI!!!!
Chucky with some key saves, dominant win and shutout!!
You lucky, I was goona tell Chuck if you jinxed him! :raised-eyebrow:
Saturday 10 pm :raised-eyebrow:

LINDY WHITH THE SHUTOUT
-
hottest team in the league for the last 10 games, 6 wins in a row and 18 out of 20 points
-

I know what I’m doin
mostly (key word)
:snicker:

Nice,
I mostly stayed awake....dozed off part of the third. Really like that Frank is contributing. Dude gots unbelievable wheels on him. Seems to have scoring touch too. He's pretty much cemented Vranna and Milano to long term bench, and Miro & Lappy to Hershey.
L1 is dead...having zero impact in the game lately
Not surprised they slipped Lindy in for this one....5 game road trip and all, and like someone said...good game for refresher.
-
the NHL changed the scoring today, they took the Dubois assist off of the Protas goal

The so called first line has been invisible. Ovi seems content to lollygag around and then get an empty netter at the end. He's looking like he did last year.
-
Honestly, I don't care how Ovi scores, as long as he keeps doing it. :snicker: Sorry.
-
I have nothing to say about Ovechkin. At age 39, coming off a broken bone in his leg -- you never know when something like that will take him down a notch that he will never recover. I notice that Carbery has dialed down his TOI a little. I don't know whether it's a reaction to his uninspired play, or whether he is trying to protect his leg or save him for the playoffs.
