Be cool if we could start a game w/o a thumb in our ass. :clown: :poop:

So TNT is showing the game with a split screen that has half of it showing Ovi sitting on the bench. It is basically unwatchable! What idiot thought this was a good idea? Is there a way to disable the split screen? This is terrible.

PK time

I wonder who the refs want to win? :raspberry:

ESPN/TNT said they were doing this OV Cam thing, I assumed it would be a picture in picture type deal. The youngins running it must have never seen such a thing. A 50/50 split screen is how video games run 2 player.

Game over before the 10 minute mark. :-(
Maybe Ovi gets one somehow.

Try TNT West or East? Im not seeing the split screen. (Hulu TNT East)
-
That was rubbish. Canes dont even need the refs help tonight.
-
Oh well, so much for shaking up the lineup for a spark. We backed into the win last night too. Time to get back to business with the playoff lineup and see if we can get out of the season w/o embarrassing ourself.

I tried the primary TNT channel on cable as the tv guide says the game is on. It’s blacked out here. Large text on screen says so.

Bro said the Caps are trying to get back in the game. It's 7 minutes into the period and we don't have a shot on goal. :rofl:

Caps PR said Thompson will not return because of an upper body injury. That’s why he’s not on the bench.

Caps must be pushing harder than is obvious, or the Canes wouldn’t have gotten called for holding twice like that.

5 on 3 for Carolina
Wilson 10 minutes, which is game with less than 10:00 to go
5’8” Stankoven who shoved Wilson to start that mess also gets 10 minutes
The April 10 game will be interesting

4 more players just got ejected, and McIlrath is still in the game

If this shit show keeps up, I might need one of your cigarettes

Wow. what a .....performance? Don't know what to call that.
Well on the bright side....Leonard looks better than I expected - or at least more ready for the NHL. I really had no idea about him or any expectations, but he is very noticeable on the ice, and has made and had some scoring chances.
Ovi scores, which is nice....especially NOT an ENG.
Refs were terrible with the BS calls and not sure how they kept getting the Caps shorthanded at the end there, but no matter.
So what was Willy so enraged about? Did that Cane slash him across the back of the leg after the contact? Willy spun around and went to the ice....then was irate at that dude (and everyone else). He really wanted to get ahold of someone late in the game :snicker: . That and he just wanted out of the shit show...get a hot shower 1st.
I thought it funny how excited Ted got when Ovi scored - he was genuinely excited and hopped up and high-fived Mrs Ovechkin. Bettman just sat there like a little troll
-
I like the looks of Leonard. He's going to be a good player. The team just looks listless like they just want the playoffs to arrive. That's a recipe for a quick dismissal at the hands of the last qualifier. That would be embarrassing but could happen the way they look, especially Thompson.
-
Can't believe the bullshit Chatfield MMA takedown of McM. Could have seriously done some damaged if his head had hit the ice. I'm assuming #22 makes him answer for it and #43 and #52 are playing in case any other Cane has an issue with that.
-
That takedown of McMike was complete bull :poop: Saw that he didn't get any discipline from the NHL, hopefully the on ice code is enforced next week!
Not sure what's up with the team. Thompson looks like shit for sure. But they get scored on, you'd expect a push back? But, 30 seconds go by and they're back in our own end trying to get scored on again. Rinse repeat. After the 1st period you'd expect some kind of push? Nope. It really will be an early exit if they don't get back some structure and urgency before the playoffs start.
