Yup. Even nicer since I got it for “free” since I put my season ticket payments on my Revolution Card.

You’re not kidding. When did I start watching a Laker game with these late arrivals?

Ah, good ol’ Stars & Stripes parking…
I have as many wins in a Capitals uniform as Michael Belhumeur does.
Anyone remember the other lots/gate names? I think there was a Capitol, and maybe an Eagle? Patriot?
Swing by The Flyer Frequent if you have nothing better to do.

There’s your Nylander shot of the game.

Check out Nyls, driving to the net… ha ha.

I like him too...
But I have a feeling he’s going to be gone.

You guys better get a replay of the first goal against the Penguins. Worst bounce I have ever seen.

First we break their hearts, then we move on to the limbs.

Michael Nylander hat trick = three circles in the offensive zone in one shift
by CapitalsKremlin on Jan 13, 2009 7:31 PM EST reply actions
He must be feeling a bit off on that shift..

Glad the Caps are finally healthy….
I have as many wins in a Capitals uniform as Michael Belhumeur does.
I'd rather be not healthy...
If it meant us winning. Last 2.3 games have been heartbreakers.

+/-
does a player get a negative to their +/- if opposing team scores while they are in the penalty box?
No

by Bald Pollack on Jan 13, 2009 7:38 PM EST up reply actions
Nope. +/- only gets tallied on even strength and shorthanded goals.

er, replying to the original threat there…

D pairings
Was thinking the same thing when I saw Alzner and Green out there.
"Good crowd out there tonight, boys, let's really try to win this one."
the PP
after watching the Detroit PP yesterday (best in league), the difference between the ours and theirs is huge.
too. fucking. fancy.
Why do we suck so bad lately?
Maybe the injury bug is good for us and having everyone healthy is our curse.
I blame Jurcina for doing nothing on Saturday night. If we lose this, we could be the Celtics of the NHL and that would suck.

Who's to Blame?
You guessed it,

tonight’s GDT is getting really nutty

The crowd sounds angry. Very very angry.

Who do we send back to Hershey or cut now?
I think this signals the end of the season. If we blow this and we blow the next 2, we’re screwed :(.

The Caps haven’t won since I returned to VCU…I should move back to NoVa

During the Ranger comeback game
I had that image ready to go for two periods and never got to use it.
Your favorite meme is dead
We are quickly turning Japersrink into 4chan. JP will not be pleased.

This is what happens when we get left unsupervised. :)

I’d expect such behavior at my blog where photoshop images are king, but here, JP commands a higher class of poster.

At least Fleischmann shoots the puck
He’ll make people forget about that Semin run.
"Good crowd out there tonight, boys, let's really try to win this one."
Tomas Fleischman hat trick, a goal, a double minor and a fall while skating

Flash was getting molested in the corner.

I don’t know why this came up but, what happened to the “ipod dj” thing at VC?
by CapitalsKremlin on Jan 13, 2009 8:31 PM EST reply actions
No idea, but yeah – what happened to that!

Figures Alzner’s first NHL penalty would be a horsecrap delay of game.

LOL
Aaron Maybin goes to a HS to talk about the importance of education and then declares for the NFL draft while there.

Kevin Hart doesn’t see what the problem is.

The Penguins have started playing a trap, and the Flyers have NO idea what to do with themselves. Have fun against them tomorrow…
Swing by The Flyer Frequent if you have nothing better to do.

Sadly, some old Caps woes have reappeared. Semin taking multiple hooking penalties…

The Caps get healthy and then our woes reappear…coincidence? I think not.
by CapitalsKremlin on Jan 13, 2009 8:55 PM EST up reply actions
No kidding, man. I wish I could explain that. Kids get in the lineup and they want to impress/fight for a spot.
I have as many wins in a Capitals uniform as Michael Belhumeur does.
I said this back on Saturday
We need people on IR to not suck. Caps 100% healthy = suckitude.
I wish one of us would get injured…and soon. Anything for a win.
by Scrabbleship on Jan 13, 2009 9:39 PM EST up reply actions
Sadly, I am going to miss tomorrow’s game. Class.

Well that's about right.
Hasta manana.

Take care everyone, see you tomorrow night.

UGGG
A lot of people had bad games tonight. Semin was back to his old self, Stecks had a horrible game. All of the forwards just stood around and didnt back check OV included. I didnt think Jose did too bad, he’s not gonna go “bizonkers” if the team doesnt play for him.
Just a frustrating game. Step the f up guys jeeze.
Oilers played well with some help...
There were some good things:
1. Caps finally got bodies in front of the net but it ended up being their own.
2. More 1 on 3, 1 on 4 action from the Caps; we got a goal out of one rush though.
3. Team plays more like a group of individuals than a team right now…
4. Great passing entering the offensive zone from the Oilers – Caps should watch the film.
4a. Great passing was facilitated by Caps backing in every time.
5. High shot counts in the first period appear to be sign of doom.
Pens played a trap against the Flyers tonight..........and it worked........
Maybe we’ll drop the run & shoot, up & down the ice and go to a trap.
Let’s see how the Caps fare tomorrow night against the Pittsburgh Devils.
Look for a very different game tomorrow night. It may be like Minnesota or New Jersey.
Perhaps Therrien is going to this style.
