I don’t know how I’m in first among Caps fans, but I think it has something to do with remembering to fill it out before every game. Plus, we don’t have the WNH choice anymore, which makes it more competitive.

Here’s a random overshare – when I was two, I observed something go down the drain and was henceforth terrified of the bathtub. I was in constant fear that I would go down with the clods of dirt coming off my little self. I guess I didn’t understand the concept of ‘fits’ and ’doesn’t fit’ yet, which explains why I had to guess and test to get my shoes on the correct feet.

"The one thing that happens with a player like Ovechkin, he’s in very good shape and used to playing many minutes a night. But he also plays long shifts," McLellan said. "If we’re going to maintain our match-up for a minute, minute and a half, we’ll tire and he’ll be more effective. We’re going to have to look at playing two lines against him – the line that starts and then the line that’s coming out fresh.

The secret is out. How much you want to bet that second line that goes out there has Patrick Marleau; both defensively responsible and capable of exploiting tired players at the end of a long shift.

To be honest

Fuck college and your HS grades. At this point everyone has a college degree and you’re almost definitely going to need to go to grad school. Grad school puts heavy emphasis on your college grades so if you go to an easier school and light it up you’ll get into a better grad school, which is what employers are going to look at. I gave the same advice to my little brother and my mom got mad at me, so probably don’t tell your mom that’s your plan. Go to some mediocre southern school with hot girls and keep your GPA above a 3.5 and you will be much happier with your life. I know you won’t take my advice, but one day you’ll look back and think “I shoulda listened to ol’ F&B.”

Bailey’s always seems to be dimly lit, but maybe that’s just the hours I’m there. I think I’d probably go with Bailey’s, Carpool, or Mr. Days depending on where you are coming from and your mode of transportation. Carpool is the least metro-friendly spot but it’s totally doable. I’m also always shocked by the quality of “talent” at Carpool given that it doesn’t seem like the kind of place that would attract such a demographic.

Yes. The non-PC name for Dupont Circle is the Fruit Loop – for a reason.

As a place to watch, ESPN Zone was surprisingly unterrible, but their food and beer selection was terrible and terribly overpriced. That’s really all I’ve got. I normally go to Dogfish Head if I want to watch a game, but it can be hard to get sound.

In Arlington you have some options. In the Ballston mall you have Bailey’s (big, lots of TVs, decent bar food and beer selection); Union Jack’s (Never been); and Rockbottom (I like some of the beer they brew but the food is not that great). Frontpage is right across the street. Carpool is also pretty close to the mall and absolutely huge. It has a lot of pool tables, darts, etc. but a pretty pedestrian beer selection. Down the road a couple metro stops you have Mr. Days which usually has good seating but they seem to shaft hockey with their TV selection. You can usually get them to put your game on TV (I think they have Center Ice as well) but you almost never see hockey on one of the nice TVs unless the Caps are on and basically no other remotely local team is playing any other sport.

Union Jacks (I only know of the one in Bethesda, right next to Rock Bottom) is pretty okay Mon-Thurs, but the weekend is nuts. It’d probably be practically delightful tonight.

Also, look at the poll here. I know it ties in to the Sharks-Caps game, but it asks which player will reach 50 goals first- Ovie, Backstrom, Heatley, or Thornton.

Nabokov loves to exaggerate those glove saves.

This is going to be another game where the Caps dominate the first and come out tied. Then get steamrolled the rest of the way (think the 7-1 PHI drubbing last year).

by MadDog31 on Oct 15, 2009 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes, but there’s a difference between generating good looks and getting stoned by a hot goalie or just missing on the conversions and some of the crap they were pulling earlier in the season. There’s movement off the puck and attempts to break down the PK structure, which makes me a happy camper. The goals will come and Semin is playing like a man possessed. Green looks much more confident out there as well.

by Knee high to a duck on Oct 15, 2009 7:51 PM EDT up reply actions   1 recs

the goals won’t come from the pp that’s for sure, because there’s no way a team as good as the Sharks will have another stretch of undisciplined play such as the one they had in the first

by MadDog31 on Oct 15, 2009 7:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

1:5 is 20% conversion, which is a pretty good rate. Should it be 40%? Sure. I feel much better about it tonight than I did in the earlier games, though.

by Knee high to a duck on Oct 15, 2009 7:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

throughout the season 20% is a pretty good rate. but taking into account the momentum and the way the pp’s came one after another for the most part tonight, 20% is not good enough
