Caps lose 7-0

Not to make excuses for the Caps' recent less than stellar play, but in addition to the 895 distraction, the Caps' last 4 home games have been single games between road trips. In a certain travel sense at least, the Caps are on a season-ending 12-game road trip, since the stops in town to play single games before heading out of town again is almost like just another stop on a trip. The only real exception to that was the 3 days before the Carolina game.

12:30 on a Saturday is gay
-
and I mean that in a politically incorrect derogatory way...not like in a happy kind of way
-
I mean....Alta had to get up early to post the thread..
probably doesn't have time to go shopping for Brie today before the game :raspberry:
-
and how the hell is Mick supposed to be half in the bag by the 3rd period?
-
Oh, and....
Columbus is 6 pts out of final WC spot with 4 games remaining...they desperately need two wins both these back to back games vs the Caps.
Only thing the Caps could possibly gain is the President's Cup, which we likely won't get, so....
I'd rest guys who are ailing. Namely Carlson, TVR, + anyone nursing something.
-
AFTERNOON :wackysmile: :wackysmile: :wackysmile:
-
Hey Lil! guess this start time is good for YOU
-
No Ovi today.
-
:poop: that didnt take long
-
That was quick. 8-0
-
Hey Lil! guess this start time is good for YOU
It is. It's a bit weird watching while its still light outside.
-
Columbus' goalie is tiny...we should score on him ;D
-
We should.... if we could be arsed ....
-
:poop: :poop:
geez is that 2 goals on 2 shots?
-
:lmao:
S'gonna be one of them. Poor ole Shep. :'(
-
WOW. I was about to say...we got them right where we want them....down 2-0 :snicker:
-
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Shep off having a cup of tea. Lucky none of our guys could be bothered to touch the puck.
-
Shep's gonna have to ride this out no matter what...Lindy starts tomorrow
-
yeah that was 2 goals on the 1st 2 shots...would have been 3/3. yikes
Leonard looks good every game tho
-
You still think upgrading Eller at 3C is a priority say over, um .... 3 of our Dmen? :P
-
Thanks for keeping me company this afternoon Richie. :hearts:
Let's see if we can make it entertaining for the slackers..... :snicker:
-
Awww They just showed a clip of Nicky giving Ovi a little baby goat. :hearts:
-
well that's not the team we needed to score in the last minute
-
What the absolute F+CK?
:bs: :bs: :bs: :bad:
-
triple ouch...Lenny hurt, Columbus scores, Willy gone for 12 minutes for barking at the ref
-
Willy ejected for being Willy, without even doing anything.
These refs are amazing. :clown:
-
These guys look so finished. Start polishing the golf clubs.
-
An NHL calibre goalie would have probably stopped all three of those goals, but Shep hasn't exactly had any help from his Dmen either. As an AHL goalie and a stand in back up, I'd have expected a lot more from the whole team to try to protect him.
-

You know we ARE in the playoffs, right? :lol:
-
Besides, I would be happy to not have to deal with the curse of the President's Trophy again. :raspberry:
-
Poor Shep. :(
I suppose the only thing now is to avoid getting shutout.
-
OOOF.
Do they keep the net in a different spot in the AHL? :snicker:
Shep's looking rough 4 goals on 9 shots! .556 GAA
-
Glad to see Lenny back.
Welcome to the NHL kiddo. ;)
-
take that back...
5 goals on 10 shots. Ouch
-
Shepherd sucks out loud. I thought he sucked last year, too. Not sure what they see in this guy at all.
-
hahah
6 goals on 11 shots
-
I'm telling you, Montreal is going to send them packing. You can just smell it.
-
Holey Moley! :sick:
-
Caps gonna have to strap the pads on asst coach or something
-
Idiot announcer keep saying how SHep is getting rough intro into the NHL. He played 4 NHL games for us just last year you dickheads. Get your shit straight before you talk trash
-
You know we ARE in the playoffs, right? :lol:
It won't be for long. You can't just flip a switch and go back to good play. They haven't been good for weeks. That becomes a habit and it can certainly carry over to the playoffs.
-
Too much dingly dangling, not enough shooting from us.
-
Willy is back. wonder how long he'll last.... :snicker:
-
I thought the guy that was fighting Lenny deserved a high stick penalty...he cross-checked him on the chin before that started.
-
I think that was the guy before. The fella Lenny fought stepped in afterwards I think.
-
Carlson looks tired and has for games...dude should be sitting out.
-
shutout shutout shutout
-
dingle dangle pattacake.
SHOOT THE BLOODY PUCK!
-
wonderful PP...much like the rest of the game
-
This is the perfect example of us playing down to the opposition. ::)
-
The good news is....the Caps can end Columbus's year tomorrow for revenge.
-
well 3 more in the third and we can lose 9-0 ;D
-
shutout shutout shutout
We'll score 7 in the third period. :-|
:laughing:
-
Just turned on the game.

Drink LOTS before you watch any more....... :snicker:
-
Refs lost the plot and lost control a while back.
-
:lmao: Even CBJ are laughing at the refs!
-
Another give away, another goal.
-
I'd like to say I have no words. Unfortunately I have many. MANY!
-
:goalie: SHUTOUT! Not that we gave him much to worry about.
-
what a stinker. I mean it was a completely meaningless game for the Caps and it showed. Columbus if fighting for their lives, but DAMN
At least we can guarantee the Caps will play better tomorrow :-|
-
The only consolation for me is that I didn't have to lose any sleep to watch this :poop: show.
Laterz peeps.
-
I caught about half the game on the radio, what cluster that was
-
Glad I missed that one. Was on the road, tuned into Caps radio around 1:30. Was 6-0, went back to listening to the chick give directions on Google Maps. :wackysmile:
Oh well, Ovi got the record this year. Gonna be a quick exit in the playoffs it appears. Meaningless games or not, good teams don't get spanked 7-0 or whatever the final was...
