Quote from: alta on Today at 10:28:39 AMthe pre game show is an hour long tonight to celebrate OV and Backy’s 1000th game together. Pre game starts at 8, game is at 9 on NBCSW




I read some of the preview stuff.
Backy needs three points for 1000 in his career,  Ovie needs 3 goals for 767 career goals to PASS he who shall remain nameless
Be nice if both came in the 1000th game they play together.  But it won't.  I'm a lifelong Caps fan, so I can still have ridiculous hopes of success....knowing they will be crushed when reality sinks in.

Speaking of reality....Calgary is 13-1-1 in their last 15 games and have lost a total of 4 games at home (in regulation) this season.
SO they are DUE for a little ass-whomping...right?

I was going to post that duo commercial, can’t seem to find it now

[Mickstix]

I'm always up for a good ass whomping! Long as it's not my ass.

I've been sleeping on Calgary.  They are big, fast, and talented.

[Mickstix]

 

[alta]

uh oh..  challenge

[justwincaps]

That should not count.  But given Craig's record on these calls, it'll probably count.

[alta]
