PP looked ok, but is still 28th in the league and as usual didn't score... Leonsis/Patrick should get off their ass and find a new PP coach at the very least.
Too bad Frank didn't try going to the net like Tippett did.. :poop: :clown:
Of course we beat 3 good teams, so now we'll get walked by the fucking Flyers. Never fails. lol
-
No this is how we do it now....got them right where we want them... :uh-huh:
Caps formula shows we will get 3 unanswered goals in the second period
-
Caps down 1-0 after one
-
Yea yea, formula schmormula. Score a fucking goal!! :snicker:
Guess all our goal scorers are pooped from last night. :raspberry:

We played last night, had to fly to filthadephia, and are only down 1 goal... We're fine

You and Rich don't know the rules apparently. We're doomed is the only attitude this team responds to.. :snicker:

Hope Dubois makes a difference when he's back, cause this team is in desperate need of a playmaker. and goal scorer. :O=
Thursday it is..
-
Thursday, then the Olympics
-
Is it odd to anyone else that they made such a big deal about Willy and LT playing for Canada, but only a passing mention of Fever playing for Slovakia? :huh: Not sure how much I'll watch, but probably check out a game or two..
-
I’d guess the media excitement is following the expected medal winners.
-
I heard they took the train instead of flying. Regardless...not good enough. Need to beat the mediocre teams for sure.
We outshot them, out hit them, edged them in Faceoffs, but damn 16 PIM to 2 oof. (what did stromer get the 10 for?...oh i see misconduct at 17 seconds left...what did he do?)
When was last time Willy scored a goal?
Ovi, Chicky, Carlson, Sandin all -2 for the game. Ovi is a liability unless we on the PP. Carlson...tired of beathing that dead horse. Sandin - any team/player of size will have their way with him. Chicky...took an unlucky bounce off a skate for 1, but he's usually solid.
Does the ENG affect your +/-?
I got the worst case of the shits I ever had after riding a train back from Philthy - although I'm sure i was not traveling the same class the Caps do.
Actually it was from Atlantic City, but had a layover in Philthy. I did have a cheesesteak in Philly so..... (this was 3 decades ago)
-
I think Ovi, Wilson and Leonard have 1 goal combined in the last 6+ games. Chychrun has been shaky lately as well. Defensively, I mean. The whole team is just meh. Nobody can score with any consistency at all. They need better centers and at least 1 goal scorer, really bad.
Per the Olympics. Im not talking about the media. I mean the Capitals? They had a toodo one night either before the game or during a break, where they announced Willy and LT and had the big screen up and shit. No mention of Fever? Maybe Slovakia hadn't announced their team yet? Only thing that makes sense.
-
Maybe Slovakia hadn’t announced yet. Hopefully they do something tonight since they are at home.
