Bummer you can't catch the game.. :(
No new guys today. Guess they'll dress Monday?
-
Onhockey(dot)tv will have the game... As an out of towner its how i catch all my caps (and local) blues games
-
I signed up for Monumental Sports last week and can't watch the game there today. I had to get ESPN to watch this game. WTF
:gocaps:
-
ABC announcers saying this is a great game so far. What fucking planet are they on? :poop:
-
Bout what I expected. "Not much". Im sick of Carbery burying Leonard on the 3rd line. WTF does he have to lose letting him play with Strome and Ovi?? I guess he's afraid they'll score. >:( And I don't give a single shit about how defensively responsible, or whatever excuse he'd have, if anyone in the press had the balls to ask him.

:hopslam:

:nrs:

Refs have lost their fn mind. ::) Start the 3rd on the PK..
1-1 after 2
-
:headbang:
-
Still shitty, as expected. 1 fucking goal. lol Chris Patrick should be fired before the season ends. He'll they should clean house on the whole staff, Carbery included. He's gonna burn out Loenard playing with puck plugs and he'll be wanting to be traded this time next season.
If I cared I'd look up the faceoff stats. I counted 2 we won in the entire 3rd period. Think we had 3 shots on goal as well. Just utterly pathetic, even for this club.
-
Forgot the game was at noon - Fn stupid on a Saturday. Looks like no great loss that i missed it
I would not expect a great performance today...with popular guys being moved and no new blood in....season is over, this game was another coffin nail.
Watched the highlights....Did we spend the whole Fn game shorthanded? Looks like Big Willy had couple good chances - needs to hit the corners and not the middle of the goalie chest.

According to the official stats, Caps won the faceoff battle at 52.8%
Caps had 6 penalties, Bruins had 3
:-|
hard to get anything going with that much time in the box, though no penalties were called in the 3rd
Caps lose 3-1
Strome wore the second “A” this afternoon
-
officially, McIlrath and Miroshnichenko were the only two scratches today, meaning the two new guys aren’t with the team yet

Must of got all our wins before we actually needed them. JoeB was telling us the other night how Strome leads the NHL in faceoffs since January or some shit. He just can't win one when we really need him to, like on a PP.. ::) That's 25% of the reason we suck so bad on special teams. We spend lopsided amounts of time in the wrong zone, both on PP and PK. Then you have to enter the zone. 25%.. That's 50%, toward the worst PP in the league! Add in minimal talent and you're knocking on the door of 32nd in the league! :-\
