New guy, Beauvillier, is definitely playing today. Frank is the scratch.

Kraken played yesterday afternoon in Pilly.


500th career game for Strome.

Caps down 1-0 after one. Hopefully they wake up before the 2nd starts, that didn’t look good.

I don’t think Oleksiak wants to go with Wilson again. It didn’t end well last time in Pittsburgh and Oleksiak hasn’t been the same since.



nother PK . .

that was fun, 10 minors called, took the league a while to upload all that

11 minors, Caps get the extra penalty, which is bullshit


nother PK . . . .




and Duhaime gets a misconduct

the NHL has got the score sheet so screwed up with all the penalties that they’ve got the Caps last two goals listed as shortys.

Strome scored in his 500th game. OV gets career point # 1600. These are afterthoughts in todays game.

I was really happy about the line brawl.
The Krakheads tried to bully us all game and it was physical all the way through, so it was a massive statement when the whole line got involved.  Even Dylan!    8-0   A very good sign IMHO.

They ovbiously read my complaints about us shying away from contact and checking.    :snicker:    We dont have to, but we bloody well will if we want to!
Well done those men.    :clap:
