We're old and injured.




7 periods, 1 goal.  :-\ Hopefully PLD can come back and do absolutely nothing. For 8.5 fn million dollars a year for the next 6 years.

You know you were ready to, don't lie!  :snicker:


Can't wait to hear NHL's reasoning for that not being offside. lol

 
*Have to wonder if they have access to Monumental's video?

Wow. Caps are pathetic
Offsides missed call is terrible but Ovie just dicking the dog there should have had that man.
Which team played last night? 
Sorokin always plays us tight but his GAA this year is total Ass….except vs Caps
PP is embarrassingly bad.
I know we have top two centers out but FFS win ONE…just ONE important face off on the PK OR the PP
JUST ONE!!!!!
Get Carlson and Ovie OFF THE ICE on the PP
Thompson, Wilson, Chychrun, Beavy, maybe Dewey and Leonard tries but he’s off and on, ate about the only guys consistently showing up

This is what happens when you add no scorers to your lineup.  They must think that Leonard and Lapierrre are suddenly going to get 25-30 goals.  If this team gives up three goals, they struggle.  Four goals is an automatic loss most nights.  They should get Protas, Jr. up here now.  He can't be worse than Frank, Sourdif, etc.  Really, nobody but Wilson is doing much.
