Caps lose 4-1

the local baseball team has a 4:05 start with a strong possibility of a rain delay, I can’t wait to see who gets the radio broadcast at 7:00

Wilson will be in tonight. Phillips was sent to Hershey yesterday.


Oshie reportedly out the next two games, after consulting the team doctor after this morning’s skate. Which may instigate a recall from Hershey.

Website slow as fuck again.    Anyone know who/where it originates? Needs to be rebooted or something.

It's Lill ... dragging us down with her can and strings

[alta]

and now that I’m about to eat it’s working fine, will have to add the lines after the game starts

[Mickstix]

Seems fine now. It's a hit or miss thing, similar to the Caps!   


Must win game.. Law of averages coming for us! Teams with that big of goal differential don't make the playoffs, nor do teams that lose 4 in a row this time of year..

Time to lay a smackdown!
