Ovi's half asleep today. :-(
-
Chychrun is now on hat trick watch and Wilson now has a new career record for goals in a season, OV can continue napping today
-
Ovi does look old and fat today.. Prolly needs a game or two to shake the rust off.
But holy shit! Explosive 2nd period. Chicky, Chicky, Proti, Willy.. Should make the 3rd a little more relaxing to watch!
Lil, the stat from the 1st period was shot "attempts"

Apparently Wilson got a little nicked up somehow. He's got the medical symbol next to him on the team roster, and is listed as day-to-day, condition undisclosed. Carbery didn't seem too concerned in his postgame comments, just that he'll get checked out.
-
Wow - that was a blast. The only problem is Chychruns price just keeps going up - especially with that nationally televised game.
It was nice the hear the announcers giving the Caps props and trashing the Hens.
-
Haha. Love it vs the Hens
Who’d have thought 8 goals and nine by Ovi
Love seeing Letang getting burned. F that POS.
He had to be a minus 5

Took a crosscheck/punch/shove to the back/kidney area. Slow to get up and to the bench, then eventually down the tunnel. Didn't look too "bad" but who knows. :cross:
