Main, fuck Chowda. I hate Boston accents with a fiery passion, and I’m allergic to shellfish. I remember a time when I went to a Caps-Bruins game at the phone booth, and we lost, cause it was 2004 or something, and the Bruins fans were carrying on like they had just won the Stanley Cup.
God, I hope we rip the shit out of them, if not only for the needed two points, but to stick it to every New Englander who wasn’t a Whalers fan. Also, because I hate the accent.
Why no love for the chowdah? It’s way better than crabcakes.

If the Caps win tonight will you raise a banner in at the Verizon Center to commenerate it and put it up next to your WNBA attendance banners?

I just hope the Mystics fold so we can take those things down and give them to a 3rd world country to use as a blanket.

seriously, fool
wtf does the fact that some other league uses the building have to do with this game? go jerk it to bobby orr circa 1970.
Also, anyone else think Alzner/Helmer to be a bit of a curious pairing?
I have as many wins in a Capitals uniform as Michael Belhumeur does.
yes…yes I do…now who will Jurcina ride the back of?

Hey Green, keep your eye on the puck.

Shame Bruce and Julien won’t be the ASG coaches together, they would be team bald.

Maybe they could get Kyle from Tenadious D to fill in for him?

Yep. SCoC has his listed with “undisclosed injury.”

Chara
there’s a player I’d love to see in red.

Yeah, but not for the salary he’s making.

true, I may have to do a feature on players we’d love to have…if they were cheaper

I wholeheartedly support this endeavor.

Chara and Volchenkov, not releasing anymore…I’ll do this probably before the Isles game

I was hoping we’d get Markov in the off season.

You know, we’ve had some good chances of deflections, and thats how you gotta beat a guy like Thomas

I don’t think we’re going to rip alot of shots past him, gotta be dirty tonight…looking at you Laich.

I have been a hater of Erskine, but JP has convinced me, he’s playing well.
by CapitalsKremlin on Jan 17, 2009 7:24 PM EST up reply actions
I’ve always liked Erskine. People saying he drew Jurcina’s play down always frustrated me, as I always saw it differently. Though, Jurcina and Erskine both have their flaws.
What I see in Erskine isn’t in Juice. Erskine’s play doesn’t seem to change, regardless of who he plays with. Jurcina is someone who seems to rely on his partner.
I apologize for the Geico ads, they come from Richmond Va. I anyone wants to help me burn down the Martin Agency (company responsible) I will provide a safe house and fake id…

That deflected off of Lashoff’s leg.

When was the last time Backy had a roughing called on him?

Cutest little roughing penalty ever.

I hope Lucic and Backstrom are on the same team in that game. Don’t need anymore headsmacks from Milan.
They will be, it’s Sophmores vs Rookies

Chara may be one of the best and smartest of defensemen in the NHL, but he is also about the ugliest.
I wonder if we will get to see a “Nylander Hat Trick”

Three circles in the offensive zone on one puck possession.

After 1 period, ChrisFoulk leads SPG with 2 points. 1 for Ovie shot, 1 for WNH goal.
Pick SPG for your chance to win probably nothing.
I particularly enjoyed Erskine going Donkey Kong in front of the net.

First NBC game this Sunday, anyone else hope the Rangers toss the Pens?

That goal is completely on Jose. He stopped playing.

Held it just long enough. I hate that Nylander got the primary on it, though. :)

Dear Schultz: You don’t have to watch your passes.

OH MAN. How did Ovie whiff on that?

Finally got a whistle. Thank goodness.

Anyone’s heart stop when Jose sent that puck high toward the boards?

Nylander got ummm…loved…in front of the net.

If Erskine stays healthy and hits hard consistently, he’s gonna be a huge asset come playoff time

Looked like Helmer fell on his own, but I’ll take it

Wow Ovie just charged the hell out of him.

That’s an old school hip check.
They’re calling it kneeing. A make-up call.

It looked pretty clean to me too

Semin looked like a mite on ice with that fall

I caught that. That’s close, but there’s been too many goals scored in this game for that to be accurate.

My kid is conspiring with his mother to keep me from watching the game.
Pick SPG for your chance to win probably nothing.
I come to Japers’ Rink for all my parenting tips. :)

Why doesn’t Nylander launch that at net & try to get a re to Ovechkin?
Pick SPG for your chance to win probably nothing.
Whats this the Caps are showing…some…grit?

Looks like a Caps power play right now.

Jurcina just saved his own ass, and set up that goal, yo.
Pick SPG for your chance to win probably nothing.
Pretty incredible when your best enforcer can shoot like that…

Caps are winning with a good body game, not just skill

Penalty on Erskine… and Jose flashing out the leather!

YES!
on that note, time to drink and watch UFC at the bar. Later guys!

SPG
ChrisFoulk is your winner w/ 4 points tonight.
Pick SPG for your chance to win probably nothing.
For all the anti-JE4 talk here on this web page thingy, y’all gotta think this guy is an awesome presence that the Caps have missed.
I would love to know what AO and Marc Savard said to each other with 8 minutes to go in the first period. They came together behind the net and had a minor collision. After the whistle, Savard met AO behind the net and I thought they were gonna swap spit.
Passing tonight, while there were a lot of giveaways, was excellent. The Caps moved the puck really really well.
Is anyone else out the waiting for a cheap penalty to be called for AO’s stick. That curve has GOT to be more than 3/4 inches.
Savard = turd
It is impossible to overstate the uber-doucheness of Marc Savard. Based on how I saw him glaring and chirping at his own teammates last night, I don’t know how they stand him, let alone the opposition.
