12:30 Saturday games are stupid
I will be lucky if I’m home before the game ends
-
Let's hope we can get more than 5 shots on goal in the first period.

Ditto. Fn 12:30 on a Saturday IS stupid.
And the sun is shining and its a nice day. Ice should be magnificent today :-|

There's a link in the last stream ;)

Goal Chicky! Won't count though. Cause NHL.
-
NO WAY! :bs: Their guy pushed our guy in to the goalie. >:(
-
Accurate call, but its still bullshit.
Im of the opinion they need to change the challenge rule to something that was directly involved with the scoring play. Going back to a missed offsides a minute earlier or a missed played with a high stick is BS. If they gonna do that, why cant they go back and challenge a BS penalty call and other shit.
Don't turn it into a game stoppage unless it is directly involved with a scoring play.
-
Didn't even challenge GI. They challenged a high stick from someone. Of course they were right (I guess) I never saw it and neither did the Tampa stream.
-
Gonna be one of those games. Stooopid refs. :raspberry:
-
Didnt see the high stick and no replay on it.
-
What was our 1st penalty for?
-
What was our 1st penalty for?
Bein the Caps.
-
Bein Willy......
-
No that was the last penalty - being the big Willy
this is some fn BS calls - yeah you could call them but 2 of them have been super weak
Caps 0
Lighting 0
Refs 1
Fn NHL wants the race to even up...call everything on the Caps today
-
Refs are trippin with this :clown: :poop:
-
No that was the last penalty - being the big Willy
That was what I was referring to.
-
Who are the refs today?
-
Instead of ruling on shit that happened last week, they should make a rule where penalties taken in the last 2 mintues, the other team has the option to wait till start of next period for their PP. :raised-eyebrow:
-
We get out hit every game now too. Stat sheets say we suck. :wackysmile:
-
Im surprised we even got a pp tbh. :P
-

Yeah, we have been pretty soft the last few games.
-
So frustrating to watch.
-
I'm getting as bored as our players seem to be. :yawn:
-
Need to get some lotion for the offense. It's all dried up. :(
-
Whats with the lack of effort the last three games? :raised-eyebrow:

Caps are as hyped with a 12:30 start as we are

:raspberry: :raspberry: :raspberry:
early start wasn't a probem last weekend.
-
Another icing? Someone should bake them a cake.
-
Serves us right.
-
Well. That should do it. Shut out at home for third loss in a row at home. Ho hum
-
16 shots on goal for the game aint gonna do it vs an average goalie, much less vs Vaseleski
-
I assume the refs got a bollocking after the first period, 'cos they seem to have swallowed their whistles, thankfully.
-
If this was a usual time game, I think I would have called it quits by now.
-
Theres OVI breaking up the Shutout
-
:banana:
-
Too little, too late, I'm afraid. :(
-
poop...but what we earned
1 good thing happened. Ovi scored. Nothing else good I can recall in this game
-
Ovi kept if from being a total loss anyway. I guess one day we'll match the other teams intensity for a full 60 minutes? Probably not..
Monday 6:30 No clue why they're starting early.

:bad:
That was RUBBISH.
Toodle pip peeps.
-
They could drop 3-4 more the way they look. Somebody has to tell these guys to shoot the damn puck. We had a couple chances today with guys in the slot with a good chance and they passed it off to somebody with no chance at all. Carlson and Strome come to mind but there was at least one other. Kudos to TB, though. They played on the puck non-stop in both ends. That's how you win.
-
I got bits and pieces on the radio today. The SOG after 2 periods was hot garbage, and after 3.
Caps 21 SOG, Tampa 19 for the game.
Each team had 4 PPs, according to the score sheet.
Caps lose 3-1
-
Caps SOGs have been terrible for the last 10 games or so. If it weren't for Chychrun they would be even worse.
I'm not liking the decline I am seeing in Protas lately. Seems to have a lower energy level and his shot is off. Hopefully he is not running out of gas.
On the other hand, maybe McMike is coming back into his early season form.
