The way this team was playing the last 10 minutes, I would not have pulled the goalie. Much less twice.

See if they can play a full 60 on Monday. 4pm Im told.

The Caps play the Avs at HOME? :lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol:
The Avs have lost exactly ONE game at home this season and it was their LAST game, in which they got spanked 7-3 by Nashville. I expect THEY will be ready to play.
No Frigging way the Caps win this game. No way, no how. Probably be a SHUTOUT. Feel sorry for whoever is in net for us.
Oh and its a national broadcast (TNT). Caps always rise to the occasion when on national TV. :-|
(meant for this to be in the boredom thread, but.....no)
