Wonder if they'll actually drop the puck before 1pm? Or is 12:30 just some NHLnet bullshit? 

[alta]

The Caps twit account has asked everyone attending to be in their seats by 12:00 for the Oshie tribute. But the NHL has proven the actual start time is not what was scheduled.

[Surreylily]

Aternoon chaps!   

A game I might be able to last to the end........

[Surreylily]

Awwwww.   That was nice.     

[alta]

Almost brought a tear to my one good eye

[alta]

puck drop at about 12:45, 15 minutes past the scheduled start time which seems about average for this league

[Mickstix]

Nice trib to Osh! Playin' pretty well.. Just like last game though, need to jump on em before they find their legs. PP couldn't do it.

Holding our own so far.   Nothing spectacular.     We're saving ourselves for the next period......   

[Mickstix]

Not sure if it's the NHLnet or Jets announcers, but they're about as exciting as a doctors appt. 


0-0 through 1.

You just woke up?         

[Mickstix]

You just woke up?     

And??? 

[alta]

Milano did come out for the 2nd period, upper body

[Mickstix]

Oh well, they've about taken over the game. We have 1 shot this period. Have to start hoping for a lucky deflection or something.

[alta]

nother pp ..

[Surreylily]

We  start the third period with a decent amount of pp left, we just need to make it count now.   


Come on fellas.   Get it done then you can have your nap and cornflakes........

[Mickstix]

Jeebus.. 3 SOG that period. No danger.
