There normally isnt a morning skate with these early starts, and no major news from yesterday’s practice. I’m guessing the lines haven’t changed from last game. The only question will be TvR or Chisholm.
-
Anddddd it's slow again. :(
Tarik says TVR back in, rest of lineup the same.
Gonna really test the streams today.. No alternate NHLn or ESPN channels, no Vancouver feed.. Monumental is the only game in town.
*And for the time being anyway, Hulu is showing the game.. Make it make sense. (My sub ends Monday)
-
The Caps did put Dubois on IR yesterday, retroactively. Today is the last game he must miss. They also activated McIlrath from IR.
-
:O=
:clown: :poop:
-
PP time
-
the radio broadcast is a good 35 seconds behind the tv broadcast today
-
That seems pretty obvious it’s interference, not sure there’s enough to overturn the call on the ice.
-
That's better than being 35 seconds ahead. Pause the video until synch?
Gonna be 2 zip here. Not seeing a whole lot of fight out of us yet. Probably gonna be short handed as well. :-|

This is my take as well ..
-
Game over. :'(
-
that’s a clean hit
-
Why the extended look? He hit him in the chest.
-
8-0
zebras got one right
-
It was close to being a late hit, but you can’t determine that with slow motion
-
nother PK . .
-
Caps down 3-0 after one, Canucks have nearly 1:40 of PP to start the 2nd
-
Big hill to climb, but the caps have overcome worse...i think
Eh, we got this!
-
:poop: :poop: :poop: :poop:
-
Carlson whiffed on the clearing attempt
-
Atleast Duhaime has some fight in him?
-
nother pp . .
-
O fer 2
2 fer 18
-
nother pp . . .
-
PP GOOOAAALLLL
LEONARD
-
Less of a hill...still a hill... We can do this
-
Caps down 4-1 after two
-
Caps start the 3rd on the PK for an infraction assessed at the end of the 2nd
:clown: :poop:
-
nother pp . . . .
-
no dice
-
GOOOAAALLLL
CHYCHRUN
-
2 is still a hill but getting smaller...
-
nother pk . . . .
that’s that then
-
GOOOAAALLLL
CARLSON
-
1 down with a lil over 2 min to go...
A hill...but one easily overcome.
LETS GO BOYS!!!!
-
In house they gave that to Wilson. NHL dot com hasn’t posted yet.
-
Caps lose 4-3
that late penalty sealed it
-
Well the Caps played about 25 good minutes - guess that's not enough to win a hockey game these days.
Seems the Caps struggle to get up for matinee or oddball start times. Lindy have rough go - couple those could/should/would be goalie interference (if anyone could decide on what that is). I though Lindy had that one covered more than once. I didn't like the 1st goal...less than minute in - he seemed unready for that shot.
Wilson hit was clean hit. He rocked that dude but good - Ouch. Not wishing anyone to get injured, but damn Wilson is some kind of threat out there. I am shocked the refs got that right, and made the right call after reviewing it. Wilson has an impact in every game. He is leading this team this year.
Leonard looks good to me - he's in the play. He does makes some mistakes (usually defensively) but he is a puck magnet. Caps definitely need a guy who wants to drive some O and shoot the puck. I like that the Caps are giving him PP minutes...gives him opportunity to use his skills. He does hit people too, but scoring is his game, and why not let him use it.
Carlson - OOF. yes he scored a goal late, but he was soft defensively. He still looks off to me.
Lappy made couple nice plays - good keep in at blue line than nice passing play that set up a goal...good for him he needed to show something. Milano was invisible for the 8:38 of TOI he got.
Sourdiff i can't figure out - he hustles, I give him that, and I'm not expecting 20G out of him, but he seems to take a lot of penalties and that's gonna earn him more bench time.
I'd say Milano or Lappy are odd man out when Dubouis returns

Watched intently until it was 4-0. Ate lunch, fell asleep. Peeked and the score was 4-1, fell back asleep. Peeked and it was 4-2, fell back asleep. Peeked and it was 4-3 with 2+ minutes to go! Watched intently until time ran out. :( lol

They should petition the league for no more day games. We usually look comatose whenever we play one.
