15 long years we've waited for some Montreal playoff revenge.  Let's make it count!!!

Post morning skate it appears Thompson will start in net. Fever is definitely out, and coach said Protas will play either game 1 or 2.

[Mickstix]

So when did Fever get hurt? Did he tweak an ankle or something?

[Iafrates Ghost]

Very excited for tonight's game! Let's go Caps.


Hope OV can get one more if not 2


That will also help my The Cup Rookie Platinum /25 Ovechkin that should go up for auction this week on Goldin Auctions!

So when did Fever get hurt? Did he tweak an ankle or something?

I was just about to post about this. Radio pre pregame said he turned his ankle during the Islanders game.

[richkrt99]

No Big Mac?  Damn.
I know he’s not all that mobile but Caps need some hitters to pound these little Canadiens

[alta]

good opening shift

[alta]

Alexeyev got away with a cross check during that scrum around the goal

[Iafrates Ghost]

Caps are looking good. Was afraid watching last few games but they look like they will be so tough to play against!

[Mickstix]

I think AA hit him with the closed glove. If he'd of sticked him in the face I doubt he'd of continued to engage?


Well, we're playin better than they are!!    lol Need to stick the knife in these fools!!
