For those folks dressing up for tonight’s game, care to share your costumes with us?
Fight, you time-wasting figure skaters!
I’m smokey the bear and my brother is greenman. Lots of positive reviews on greenman so far. I look mostly half assed. Go caps.
If consequences dictate the course of action, then it doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught. If consequences dictate the course of action, then I should play God...

On comcast in arlington, the CSN webpage says that the game will be on channel 21. Its like MASN2, its a different channel the rest of the time except when there is a game
I am very eager to see what kind of jump we have in the third tonight, and whether we’ll need it. My sources say we will.
Given that Mike Green’s tweet topic of the day was coffee, I’m not sure whether to be optimistic or not.

UGH! I sold my tickets for tonight to a friend of mine — why oh why didn’t I check to see if it was a CSN+ game?!?!? Why?!?

Per corey: Ovechkin ties his personal record for most goals in a calendar month with 14
IS PAЯTY NOW
No score with 6 min. left in the first period in Grand Rapids. Go go Griffins! Go go Nylander!
IS PAЯTY NOW
Hey kids. Just got back from dinner and the game isn’t on any channel I can find. What have I missed?
There's always more to learn about Hockey.
The MSG+ guys are genuinely stunned that Ovechkin and Semin passed up on scoring opportunities to try to get the puck to one another. “It’s like winning the lottery if you’re the Islanders”, they said. Guess they don’t watch many Caps games…

true that. although, fwiw, the passer in those instances really should’ve shot.
But i mean who knows?
Oh, of course they should’ve. That’s precisely the point.

Or, the even more precise point, that this happens all too often.

Per corey: The Alexes + Backstrom line is in danger of being disbanded again — they have butchered too many odd-man rushes in the past two games.
IS PAЯTY NOW
I really wonder why they do that. What could they possibly be thinking?

Where is he getting this info, during the middle of a game? Sounds like speculation. Semin had a bad period. They’re still the only line doing anything offensively.
Oh, it’s definitely speculation, but not unfounded speculation. Either BB is going to give them one more chance to get it together or he won’t.

Thank you! On my scroll it calls that something like ‘Close Up’.

Me too. I went to dinner in my new Jersey. My mother asked me if I knew that Halloween was actually tomorrow.

Greenie needs to get us a goal to make up for that.

JP tweets: From the stands, at least, it looks like just about the worst ice of the year. And by “the year,” I mean “ever.”

Hey, at least there’s no ugly NHL Faceoff logo.

Mathieu Perreault gets assists from Roo and Bouchard. HER up 5-0.
And Sugar Sudgen got a five minute major.
IS PAЯTY NOW
All I’ve seen him do is throw one big hit and he didn’t even stop the puck.

Now’s the time to grab this game by the throat on this PP. They should be rested coming off the commercial break.
^*(%$#$%%$#!!!!! gaaahhh.

I think it’s more a matter of which is sucking worse.

The D hasn’t been great, but the 1st and 3rd goals both seem like ones that should get stopped. At least we won’t have to worry about them coasting through the 3rd tonight…on home ice they better get juiced up to put in the work.
I miss those 3rd periods we saw late in the year 2 years ago when we made our insane run to the division title when we would just take over and outshoot teams 23-1, 25-2, etc.
Totally agree. Theo has made some excellent saves but both of those goals could have been stopped. The second goal would have been a really nice save, but it looked to me like he went down a split second early and left the entire top shelf open.
I’m not going to complain about that one when we suddenly give up the puck 5 feet away from goal. He hasn’t seemed as steady tonight and his positioning has looked off.

Brooks Laich is playing pretty well for having swine flu! (see box score)

Pothier’s the one who looks like he has swine flu.
by mechanicsville on Oct 30, 2009 8:44 PM EDT up reply actions
Pothier’s the guy I would sit ASSUMING we can move Circles and finally bring Alzner up. I could definitely live with Green/Mo, Poti/Schultz, and Juice/Alzner…especially remembering how much Jurcina’s game improved in the short time he was paired with Alzner last season.

already have a Caps feed up since my Fios doesn’t have a channel 1. Was just looking for a quick blip about how they were doing
by Davethecapsfan on Oct 30, 2009 8:53 PM EDT up reply actions
More like the fools at CSN who don’t realize the Wizards ship has sailed…you want ratings put the Caps on in HD.
by Davethecapsfan on Oct 30, 2009 8:56 PM EDT up reply actions
If Juice could play like he was with Alzner last year all the time many people would be on your side.
by Davethecapsfan on Oct 30, 2009 8:59 PM EDT up reply actions
they didn’t show a good angle, apparently lost an edge and banged up his foot going into the boards. He didn’t miss a shift though.

He’s pissed…I smell another big one timer goal.

wow! Flash is really on a roll tonight!

What a letdown…you get that late PP chance you need to put it home. Glad my stream failed wouldn’t want to see that.
Unstoppable. Tavares from below the goal to Streit in the high slot (completely wide open). Ovie and Green asleep at the wheel. Theo’s got to be pissed.
