I listened to Lavy presser (from yesterday I think) and LOTS of questions about D changes and he sounded like NO changes or subs on D coming. Although I just listened to one from this morning made some line changes on the O-lines. He was happy with Eller and Panik's play so moved Oshie there to maybe get some more going. Nice if it works.  I'd agree that Eller has played well. Oshie works hard everywhere so maybe that will get them some production. Little surprised no changes on D (even if just for a rest) Sucks for Ziggy.  He played well enough last year to be playing.  And he was probably our best PK d-man. I know Groot is a PK guy with a huge reach, but I have been surprised by his lack of mobility. Saw guys burn around him several times last game. Oh and I thought Willy was the best player on the ice last game.  Go Big Willy.

GO CAPS!

So....this is NOT intentional.

nope, don't like them. I think it's the wrong shade of red, to start with.

DUDE! Just use the modify button and fix it.. How much are we paying you anyway?? 

[richkrt99]

Caps still in 1st place in the division (Philthy lost last night) with 5 points


Vegas has 6 pts, 3-0 record
Toronto has 6 pts, 3-1 record





Hope to see some crybaby fowls get some ass-whooping tonight that puts the Caps back in 1st overall with 7 points


Go Caps


Oh...and the HENS are in LAST place in the division

doesn't say if this is permanent. Pregame starts at 6:00. An hour is usually too much for me but I'll tune in to see how Carl does

How about we just get some tech support here and fix the problem so it doesn't happen every time I hit the backspace key.


som


Or I could just not hit the bakcpsace key adn typo like DC all teh tyme 

maybe a smart guy like Alta could just fix it?

Cool.  I loved Alzner when he played here. Good for him to get that contract but Montreal was fucking brain dead for paying that....you could SEE Alzner's decline even the last year he was here.  Great guy and hated to see him go but man was he never going to be worth what Montreal paid him.  Good on him though for getting free agent deal.

[richkrt99]

And I meant to mention during the last Hens game....The NBC guys were talking up TR and his hiring as "defensive" coach for the Hens.


That seems to be really paying off for them.  Their D doesn't look so good, but then it sucked in last year's playoffs so...can't blame that on Todd, but if they don't pick it up soon, I see TR looking for another job.

It doesn't happen every time you hit the backspace key. [size=78%]It happens when you hit return, type a line, and backspace that line like you're editing it.[/size]


See... and that's with iOS


and there's nothing I can do, it appears to be a bug with the hosting platform, maybe someone can learn to type, proofread and use the damn format button above
   


the format button is the arrow in brackets

It only happens on my PC...which is a Windows PC




[size=78%]and how do you know it happens when I hit return and then backspace?  You are right, but how'd you know Smart Guy?[/size]

because I'm the observant type, after the tenth time it happened to me I fingered it out

If I didn't know better, I'd say that almost sounds condescending 


And just for fun....

I don't know why it doesn't happen to everyone else

[richkrt99]

Okay, enough sidetracking...

Let's open a big can of WHOOPASS on Shitsburgh tonight!!!
