Tonight is Ovechkin’s 1500th career NHL game. He is the 8th player to achieve that with one team (#1 Gordie Howe 1687), and 24th overall to reach 1500 (#1 Patrick Marleau 1779).


Frank was sent to Hershey today, which means Dubois has been activated from IR.


Officially, last night the Caps went 2 fer 5 on the PP. The 5 minute major must count as 3 power plays.

Less than 1:30 in and Roy takes a puck to the face. Looked worse than TvR last night.

Sight is forked for me. Sloooooowwwwwwwwwwww.......


May said Strome may of went back down the tunnel? Or didn't take any shifts or something.. Either way it must not be catastrophic. Those pileups I always fear knees..

Spam bot attack I think. Right now there are 2400 “guests” viewing the forums. It’s happened several times.


Strome did not return for the 2nd, and is out for the game.

Every time I’ve seen this site slowed down by traffic the guest count was over 6000, not sure why it’s a problem at 2400.

I finally got in and it was over 1500, i don't think this is sponsored by the nhl but kept running by a few fans, so they dont have the backing money to have servers deal with traffic like that - is my guess

Caps down 4-0 after two


I figured the refs were going to an issue when I saw Sutherland up there.

Yup, site has covid. 1200 "guests".  :-(  Nearly 5 mins every click. I cleaned my cookies then: Site, login, gdt, reply, send = 30+ minutes.


Anyway, burn the tape. Twice..
