Coach said in this morning’s post practice presser that Carlson is a “game time decision trending in the right direction”. When he says that, more often than not the player in question starts.

Am I gonna wanna watch this?

Am I gonna wanna watch this?
yes :raised-eyebrow:

PK time
-
tie game after one
Canes have :55 of PP to start the 2nd
-
I'm teasing....I'd watch if we were down 3-0 after 1 (unlike that Redneck fella) :raspberry:
0-0 after 1...looks like Canes/Caps game. would have been nice if Sourdiff would've buried one of those
-
GOOOAAALLLL
MCMICHAEL
-
:poop:
:clown: :O=
-
nother pk . .
zebras are being very one sided tonight
-
Im watching.. Im watching.. ::)
Both those penalties have been sissy shit.
-
game tied after 2
-
We definitely look like 3 day old rust. I don't mind getting outshot, but 30 - 9 after 2 periods? lol
I'd keep pounding their ass. Hard to play against a bunch of little speedy pussies the refs keep protecting though.

PP time

GOOOAAALLLL
DOWD
-
:O= :O=
:clown: :poop:
-
extra minutes needed
-
Fart noise. Carlson needs more rest. lol
-
God don't go to a shootout. Carbs will be putting Dowd out 2nd or 3rd. ::)
-
shoot out needed
:(
-
Oh well, guess a point is better than nothing. Canes just fucked around in OT knowing we'll have no chance in a shootout.
-
Caps lose the shoot out
3-2 final
-
Coaches choice in the shootout is still highly questionable
-
Bro sent out Beauvi 1st. :rofl: We really need to just head to the locker room when games go past OT. See ya Saturday!
Coach really needs to consider just pulling the goalie if we get to 1min to go in OT. Shits embarrassing.
-
Oh FFS. I get we have no great talent to score in the shootout but why does Thompson suck at the shootout?
Like Mick said…just head to the locker room after OT
We gave away the game we almost stole
