Caps win 5-4

Caps need one point to clinch the Eastern Conference. Well....technically 1pt would give us 108 and Toronto has 100pts with 4 games left (we have 42RW to their 39, and if we lost all 4 and Toronto won all 4 then i guess they win the tie-breaker with 43 RW) so....
Fuck it. Win tonight of any kind clinches the Conference.
Playoff teams are all but set at this point. Possible, but don't expect any changes to the WC teams at this point.
-
Mathematically speaking, the final wild card spot in the East is still in contention. But realistically it’s not.
Puck drop is expected at about 7:45
>:(
7:50

Chychrun out, illness, McIlrath in.

most of that was in the 3rd period, if anything happens tonight I kinda expect the same. With the possible exception of Chatfield

and there it is
Duhaime vs Chatfield
5:00 each for fighting

Duhaime :clap:

no penalty, which I don’t disagree with

that call I disagree with
:poop: :poop:

What the hail is that rule? Incidental contact supposedly rules out a goal no matter who pushes them in. Talk about rubbing salt in the wound.

Caps down 2-1 after one

Gotta love Dumaime! He can throw em pretty well. Hopefully, the Caps will play heavy the rest of the game and punish these guys. I think Willy is still a bit pissed off.

this late home start sucks

Carlson flat out stinks tonight. Let's give him at least one game off, maybe more. They need to rest a few guys these next few games.
Eller has also had a poor game. When he gets breakaways, he gets way too fancy. If he would just shoot from 10 feet away he would score a lot more.

Hotel TV sucks. No espn+ and streaming disabled. :-|
Catching highlights on NHL net. Nice rebound after a slow start.
:clown: :poop: 4-3.

It’s been awhile since I hacked into a hotel tv. It involved pliers to get past the cable blocker on the back of the tv so I could plug in my own source. What kind of redneck travels without pliers and computer adapters?

I do like this coach, but then he sends out Carlson on the shootout…

vs Blue Jackets

Well that's one way to do it.
Lindy looked lost most of the game...yes he made bunches of saves in 1st, but damn he was all over the place and horrible rebound control...okay NO rebound control. Flat out missed a shot he could see to the glove, luckily it hit the post. Could have been 5-0 the first 15 min.
Duhame...Stud, woke the crowd and Ovi and the team...then Ovi decided to just start knocking people down...love it.
Looks like the boys really just sacked up in the second and played the game. Carlson missed the net wide on every shot he took...something off with him.
Considering the start...I'd say they played well after and got it done, but they almost came apart at the end, then managed to survive OT.
And yeah...putting Carlson out on the SO is the dumbest fucking thing ever. McMike, Wilson, Mangipane, LENNY...FFS ALL of them have skills...WTF we putting Dylan out there for? I'd be insulted if I were any of them and they put JC out there before me.
2 pts is all that mattered, but DAMN.

Not being able to protect or expand a two goal lead in the third is a bad sign. Not sure about anyone else, but I'm not feeling good about the playoffs. Montreal will beat them if they keep up this play.

Yes, worried. Yesterday showed us they still have life when they need it, but I'm afraid, with our sometimes suspect D and weakness vs a good forecheck will mean the winning/losing goal may come down to goal tending, and despite our netminders' stats....I'm not confident in our goaltending right now.
