Caps placed Fedorov on LTIR (ankle) today. This is to fit Clark back into the line-up tonight.
That’s right Captain Chris is suited up and playing tonight. Damn, it feels good to say that.
I have as many wins in a Capitals uniform as Michael Belhumeur does.
Not really sure, but this is the front end of a back-to-back for Buffalo, so I’m guessing Miller is/was already penciled in to play against the Isles tomorrow night.

Yeah, Kolbe just said Miller will go tomorrow vs the NYI. Also, Buffalo flew into DC today, so they did not want to overdue it with him (I guess it’s OK for Lalime….)

Right off the bat, Jose tested. Hey – he saved it!

Is it bad that I consider it a good thing when we don’t get scored on on the first shot of the game?
Easy
Let’s recall that the NYR goals against JT were mostly the fault of of some very sketchy D-work in front of him. Certainly he could have bailed out the team with some very good saves, but it wasnt like he was out there with a red-tipped stick and sunglasses……
i think we can “breathe a sigh of relief” that we’re backchecking today, and clearing out in front of JT.
It’s geting too easy to criticize JT lately, let’s just be sure it’s fair…..
Nice save. Not nice being unable to keep it in the zone on a power play.

In other news.....
NHL indentified these teams as the top sellers in “third jerseys” so far this season.:
Pittsburgh Penguins
Buffalo Sabres
Philadelphia Flyers
Boston Bruins
Edmonton Oilers
New York Islanders
I notice most of those are teams that are using a retro uniform as their third jersey.

Another penalty free period for the Caps. I like it.

that only means that the refs will realize this during the intermission and “even things up” in the second period (so they can “swallow the whistle” in the third). It’s one of the many things that bugs me about the NHL. actually, it drives me crazy……

more funny stuff....
Pens 0-0 after 1 with the NJD. They had 2 pp’s but only 5 SOG. They really are having some issues getting rubber at goalies. Funny when i keep reading Malkin will get 140-150….
I’d really like us to take advantage of the back-up being in net tonight…

would have bet a bunch the next penalty would be called on us……

Wohoo !!!!!!!! Gotta keep movin’ forward. Cannot go into a shell now in front of JT…..tho it’s nice Vanek still out…….
Not too keen on Ovie taking an icing there.

Derek Roy is a Sidney Crosby wannabe without the talent. I’m not kidding. That guy got away with a billion slashes, and dove at least three times. He also broke his stick on the post after his team lost.
In general, the Sabres AND their fans seem to be a ton of whiny bastards, who like taking little cheap shots. I’m sick and tired of it.
