Strome, van Riemsdyk, Nylander.. I forget the 4th one
-
Wish we could play more 3rd string goalies! lol Need Willy back. Sour line still looks good! The rest, so so..
Is it odd that Nashville gets back2back home games? Hawks tomorrow and us Sunday. Seems were always traveling on b2b's.
See ya Sunday!

I don’t pay enough attention to the rest of the league, but I don’t recall the Caps ever getting back2back home games.
>:(
phukin nascar schedulers
-
I don't watch the league either, but Joe & Locker said a couple times how both teams are leaving tonight, for Nashville. And yea, I can't remember us getting 2 home games b2b.
-
Strome, van Riemsdyk, Nylander.. I forget the 4th one
Troy Brower is the 4th
-
Nice to see the kids score...especially McMike FINALLY getting one on a breakaway.
Also nice to be playing a team with 3/4 of its squad and a backup AHL goalie.
At 5-1 I wanted to see them put the beer league guy in the game for the last few minutes - wth not?
-
Thought they may give the guy a minute or two at the end as well.. Fucking killjoys. :raised-eyebrow: :snicker:
Don't think the 4th was Brower? If it was, I must of been drunk. :raspberry:
-
:pointdown:

This surprises NO ONE. :raspberry: :lol:
and it WAS Brower...238 games with Chicago, 293 with Washington.
-
I actually was drinking. Surprise surprise!! :wackysmile: But I saw the answer and most definitely don't recall one being Brower. :rofl: Hey, don't judge! They have Vanilla Jim Beam now, it's not my fault!! :snicker:
