Thanks for the GDT Alta.

So, the team with the worst PP in the league is taking on the team with the best PK in the league.  This should be fun .......

[alta]

Right.


Lapierre will scratch tonight, NAK in the lineup. I assume this moves Protas back to center but haven’t seen confirmation yet.

[richkrt99]

Caps get not one, but TWO PPG tonight.

We've got to be the 2nd best PK, don't we? Seems like we've only given up 1 or 2, in the length of time we've not scored on the PP? I was waiting to see which would fuck up first and cost us a game.

[alta]

I just rechecked nhl.com/stats, and it says Caps have the 21st best PK in the league.




Same thing it said at 1pm.
 

[Mickstix]

Eeek.. Yea, they couldn't stop anything the first couple games. Guess they just went on a run. Figures that unicorn success didn't hold up either. 

[alta]

several games back the PK was 12th, I really hadn’t thought they gave up that many PPGs since


Game 16 the Caps PK was 11th, game 17 they gave up 3 PPGs to the Oilers
that phukin Oilers game.. oofa

[Mickstix]

Oh yea, the Oilers..    Rat bastards!


Oh well, don't we worry, McMike will save us! 

[Mickstix]

Where's Lil? It's only 3am over there. Fucking slacker! 

[alta]

pregame is on channel 2 again, it sure was nice of Caps.com to provide that information

[Mickstix]

That's one good thing about dropping center ice and getting espn+.. I now get pre and post game.


Im still curious how their timing is. Is it live, 30 seconds behind.. Stream is rock solid though, so eitherway.

[Mickstix]

JoeB's right. That damn post "ping" sound is annoying.


Im gonna find and change my ringtone to it, cause I fucking hate talking on the phone. 

[Mickstix]

Let's go Chucky!! We're gonna need ya bud!!

[alta]

Kings are quick.
