Yeah don't think I will be able to hang in for all of this one.  I got a feeling we throw a stinker tonight too.  We due for one about now and LA owes us a beating.
Kinda odd Caps play east coast Sunday afternoon then fly LA, day off then play next day, then have back to back but have to travel to San Jose....then come back to LA.  Odd they don't schedule both LA teams first then go to San Jose, but then when did the travel schedule ever make any sense.
Gonna be a rough week regardless with all the travel.

Prove me wrong ya bitches!

Go Caps

He'd get 50 with a true #1 (or 2) Center. McMike could be the guy. He shows it in spurts.


Little Osh coming along nicely. I'd love to see an Ovi Strome Leonard line. Put em' out with Chicky and Roy.

Glad they look sharp tonight! I was sleepy before puck drop.


TV keeps showing ads for Shake Shack "Big Shack". Basically a Double QP w/cheese. I googled it. Closest one is Orlando. But they want 10$ for the thing?  8-0


I'll drive over to the beach, to the best diner in New Smyrna. Sit outside, have a nice waitress bring me a true FAT QP w/cheese, plate load of fries and a cup of coleslaw, while watching cute young buns walk by, for 10.99  Fast food joints be trippin these days. lol

If teams weren’t guarding OV so hard on the PP, he’d very nearly be a liability as well. As things stand, it opens everyone else up.

Post by: Mickstix on Tuesday December 02, 2025, 11:32:05 PM Eastern
But they do and they have to. He's stood still on the PP for at least a decade. He's not an issue. Especially with Chychrun back there, who has some wheels if needed.

The last time I was on Amelia Island I had to wait until 11am to get a Jack and OJ at the beach front restaurant. I was starting to go through withdrawals man.

Chychrun has dual citizenship through his dad. He’s on the team Canada long list for the Olympics.

Hot damn. I managed to stay awake for the whole game. Wait…did I?  Or is this a dream that the Caps actually played a good game and win the special teams battle?  Sure seemed real. I must’ve been dreaming.
Leonard looks good on the PP.
Tom Wilson absolutely is The Man.

That bumped Caps ahead of NJ moved us into 2nd place in division and 3rd overall in the East

Standings mean nothing at this point.  With 1/3 of the regular season down, the Metro Division is extraordinarily tight - no one is out of anything at the moment.
