12:30, 8:00, 9:00, 10:30.. Dumb ass starting times this late in the season.  :raised-eyebrow:


And Leonard and Miro on the 3rd and 4th line.  :rofl:  Next they'll extend Beauvi for 5m x 5, since he's our top line wing. lol

Thought we looked faster than them. Miro did have a good chance. Says we won the faceoff battle 70/30. Didn't notice it make any difference. Only 10 shot attempts.. Team looks spent for the most part.
I hate the "balance" line bullshit this late in a burnt season. Beauvi shouldn't be anywhere above line 3. Leonard and Hutson should both be on PP1. But, Caps gonna Cap.  :(

Coach, or the PP coach, had to substitute someone for Frank. Instead of a simple substitution, the PP was completely rearranged.

phukin Dubois wrapped an arm around Thomas and slammed him. Thomas gets a minor for interference. Dubious gets 5:00 a major, under review. There’s no major.

the Blues get called for too many men on the ice, nearly negating their pp. 4 on 4 for 2:00, then a :45 PK for the Caps

I slept through most of that doped up on cold meds.  That and the game literally put me to sleep.  I don't see how Dubouis got a match penalty for that.  He did grab him and throw him down, but it wasnt't like he slammed his face on the ice or stomped on his neck. Not sure how you get deliberate attempt to injur out of that.  Looked more like frustration from being interfered with, he wrapped him up and pulled him down.


Yeah bring in Miro and giving him 4th line minutes is dumb.  I have no issue with Beavy - he hustles, but FFS he's a 3rd liner.  The season is done. lets see what the kids can do.  You already KNOW what you have in Beavy, let's find out about Miro, Lil'Pro, etc....
