Impressive…thread before 10am :)
But no Caps lines? :snicker: :raspberry:
-
the lines would be a guess right now, with the offense getting shuffled the past several games for Leonard, and a possibility of Protas out
and with that, word is Protas is out “week to week”
-
Week to week. OUCH.
Superglue and compression bandage and jamb it back in the skates
We need Big Pro
I’m teasing but hope he’s back for start of playoffs
-
Looks like he has appx. 2 weeks before the Playoffs start. Hope it doesn't take longer than that. :cross:
-
NHL has said if OV scores today there will be an on ice ceremony at that moment, expected to last about 10 minutes.
-
Sorokin in net for the Islanders, OV has never scored on Sorokin

I do, when I need one. It's better now, but Monumental was apparently having problems earlier.
-
Monumental had some glitches in the first, we didn’t get to see the second goal
-
Caps down 2-0 after one
-
Our D need to give Lindy a bit more support this period.
-
We dont look like we're trying very hard.
We may not particularly want Ovi to score this game, but there's nothing to stop the rest of 'em.
-
Just got home from work. The downside The Caps are down 2-0. The upside I didn't miss Ovie getting the goal?
-
PP time

Our fellas are still at lunch.

Oh and congrats to Ted for believing all this time. :clap:
-
Got to hear JoeB and Locker call the Greatest Goal, by the Greatest Goal Scorer of ALL TIME!!!
OVI!!!!!
-
I bet Buttman's relieved he didn't have to wait ages and attend every game untill Ovi got that goal. :lmao:
-
Nice that he did it in classic style, from his office too.

Shame about the loss.

Caps lose 4-1
the chase is over

Caps vs Canes Thursday at 7:30
-
Can we get back to winning hockey games now?

Can we get back to winning hockey games now?
Yes, the past half dozen games have been about the most ineffectual golf the Caps have played all season. Carbery is going to have to work some magic here to try to get this team back on track before the playoffs begin. It's probably a good time for the last extended time between games - I suspect there are going to be a couple of pretty "spirited" practices between now and the Carolina game.
-
Now that the Chase is over, man.. We're a hot mess in our own end. Mediocre goaltending has put a light on just how bad it's been. They covered for a lot through the year. Hope Carbs can spot something and adjust whatever, cause if not it'll be a 1st or at best 2nd round exit. :-(
-
Yep, and yep.
Boys got an early start for the celebration party last night (with an early game) and the day off today, so get it done and get back to hockey.
Definitely time to put it back on the rails for the final sprint to the finish....gonna be tough with Pro and Thompson injured.
I know Thompson has been on the suck of late, but I just don't think we can win serious playoff hockey with Lindy. He's good and has flashes of greatness, but he's weak up top and you need GREAT goaltending to get deep into the playoffs - not just serviceable netminding.
