same lines except TvR back in, Thompson in net
:-|

Hopefully our boys didn't eat and drink too much yesterday! Leafs not having a great year but more than capable of spanking us if we're not ready.
-
I anticipated this, but not 21 seconds in. Sutherland says no goal
surprisingly the zebras will review it
-
Sutherland says no goal after review
-
Fucking horseshit whistle. Keep the fucking whistle out of your mouth. >:(

:poop:
:clown: :O=
-
LT been unimpressive lately
-
Caps down 1-0 after one
-
PP time
-
Carlson shouldn’t be out on the PP anymore, and stop double shiting OV
-
:O= :O=
:clown: :poop:
-
nother pp . .
-
coach needs to make more adjustments to the PP
-
Shitty call to start, shitty result after 1, shitty feeling game. :-X And yea, Carlson has no business on either PP. Though Sandin really doesn't either.
I figured as soon as they starting talking about how leaky the Leafs have been this year, we wouldn't score any goals.

GOOOAAALLLL
MCMICHAEL
-
Caps down 2-1 after two
-
Low key shocked we actually scored. See if they can find a couple more in the 3rd.
-
Protas could be much better with a coach that knows how to work with his size and speed.
-
Caps are slamming the doors at the bench, that almost never ends with a win.
-
GOOOAAALLLL
BEAUVILLIER
-
GOOOAAALLLL
CHYCHRUN
-
empty net
-
Chychrun with points in 10 straight games

WILSON

Daayum! Surprise surprise!! Nice 3rd period and LT woke up and was sharp as a tack!
I was pissed off 3/4 of the game cause we got robbed 30 seconds in. :snicker:
Sunday at... 1pm Oh well, Sorry ass Redskins don't play till 8, so alls good! :raspberry:
-
Fckn A man, a 3rd period comeback. I got to actually watch most of the 3rd on my laptop.
out of town visiiting the folks for Thanksgiving
-
three stars:
Chychrun #1
Thompson #2
McMichael #3
Thompson should’ve been #1
-
Watching to post game. Locker and Gabby have red face. 8-0 Suspicious. :snicker:
Hope your having a good time with the fam Hillbilly!

I’d be happier with jackass zebras that don’t “owe you one” because they fucked up.

Great game! Confident team and Chicky continues to be incredible. Leonard is getting better every game.
We have been ragging on TVR, but I thought he played really well today. Maybe scratching a guy every now and then is a good thing! I would like to see them keep doing that on D, just to keep our guys fresh - except Chicky - keep him out there!!!

Leonard didn't have any Hershey time - went straight from college to the NHL. That's a big jump, and he'll work into what he can be at the NHL level over time.
As Mick says, special teams are a big problem right now. That needs to get fix ed at some point. Our other big problem at the moment is our center depth, with Dowd out for a bit and DuBois out long term. I would simply mention that the best player at Hershey this season is ..... Ilya Protas, Alexai's "little" brother at 6'6", 225, who happens to play ..... Center. Will we see him in Washington this season? He's only 19.
-
Leonard and Sourdif have been playing quite well lately. Chychrun is playing great. If this team could get its act together on the PP and PK, they might end up being much better than I imagined this season.
-
Ya - have to admit I was wrong on Sourdif. He has been good, but we can only have so many of those small forwards. I would put Sourdif, Lappy, McMike, MIlano and Leonard all in the undersized category. Leonard plays a little bigger and hopefully will grow some more. We need more beef up front.
-
Sourdif has been playing well, but he's also playing with Wilson and Protas. Something I didn't realize after his 1st game in for Dowd. He's still doing better than I figured he would though.
