Welcome back Mike Knuble
Picture from warmups vs. Minny, just before his star-crossed date with a crossbar.
ALEX, FЯEE
I didn’t realize Knuble was back tonight! What a wonderful present for the first night of Hanukkah.

From Kettler this afternoon:
A lady (perhaps she’s a Rinker?) got Varlamov to sign her license plate. He got out his cellphone and snapped a picture for himself as well. Pretty cool guy, that Varley.
Also, shout out to amkcaps, whom I met today.

And now Semyon knows why he couldn’t get that plate.

She should at least get it covered so bugs don’t get splattered all over it.

Well, unless she’s going to be doing most of her driving backwards, she shouldn’t have that issue. The stickers go on the rear tag.

For those familiar with Giant Center
How’s the door security? Trying to figure out if it’s worthwhile to try and sneak in little bottles.

Dunno ‘bout security, but if you’re going tomorrow night, you’re in luck. It is Coco the Bear’s birthday!

I am very familiar with it. Just keep them tucked in your coat or pockets. They only check purses and even that is a really quick check
Perfect.
Just like VC! Thanks, MHBears.

You know
It’s games like the last one that remind me why the Caps and their crappy “superstars”, “best record in the east”, and “highest GF in the NHL” are no match for a really great team like the 2009 – 10 Flyers when considering who should be playing in this season’s Winter Classic.
Well if they weren’t all out getting their hair done, things might’ve worked out.

"I've got a bad feeling about this"
Don’t know why, but this game worries me…
Atta dinnin stick a who!
You mean considering our league-best undefeated in the division streak?
Or that Carolina has scored the least # of goals in the entire league?
Is this Cam Ward’s first game back from injury…?
…and it looks like he gave up all his goals early in that game with 30 SOG.
He may still have a little rust out the gates tonight but seems like he’s in decent form. Good thing the Caps start so fast this season :)
I think the Caps are going to be angry. And if they’re not all angry, then I think AO will be angry. And if AO’s not angry, then Mean Lars Backstrom will be mean. And if Mean Lars Backstrom isn’t mean, then

I got the entire rest of the season of Center Ice on DirecTv for $87. I just called and asked what was up with Versus and how I couldn’t afford $175 for Center Ice and they gave me 50% off on the spot, no questions asked.
They’ve been making deals for months. They better get this straightened out by April.
A man gotta have a code
per the guy I talked to Wednesday it doesn’t look good. His quote was “It’s a dead deal, they haven’t talked in over a month. We don’t plan on having Versus on anytime in the near future.”
You’ve got to think the Comcast-NBC deal changes that soon.

Sure, on the day I lose NBC and all those other channels since I’m on DirecTV.

It’s not technically a thesis, but VT encourages us to take seminar classes starting in our junior year and basically writing a half-thesis then. I’m a history major.

So if you don’t do it, does the teacher just glare at you? I would not be motivated to do a half-thesis at all.
The paper is required if you take the class, but the class isn’t required.

Notice the man in the spacesuit is sitting my himself. I would never ever ever sit with him. And I would be beyond pissed if he was in front of me.
More pissed than if he were a leaner?

Definitely good for me. I’m playing against Brodeur in my fantasy league. I don’t need anymore shutouts.

Just looking at this Puck Daddy Blog and I have to admit i never knew Lundqvist was a 7th round draft pick

You can only play one at a time. Nice dilemma to have, but the benefit of having both isn’t nearly as large as having one as opposed to none.
Not that I’m ready to put Varly on Hank’s level, yet.

Varly isn’t on Hank’s level and Varly isn’t a Caps draft pick if we have Hank. I understand the “best player available” philosophy but you don’t use a first round pick on a G if you have a stud already.
You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.
Who was drafted in the next few spots after Varly, just for fun?

Some period.
I smell a comeback.
If Theo doesn’t screw it up.
So much for good defense and goaltending.
Gouldie was right. But he’s probably been whispering ‘shutout’ since he finished lunch, so it’s really all his fault.
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
Theo doesn’t need to be jinxed. He’s just not very good. And Tom Poti sucks.
You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.
Well in Carolina’s games that I have watched, they can come on strong in the first period, but they just fade away by the third. I’ve seen them give up leads late in the game. The Caps have them just where they want them…
Excellent period??? You frigging moron
Carolina PxP guy just interviewing Paul Maurice now – said the ’Canes had an “excellent period of hockey”.
What game is he watching? The Caps should have 2-3 on the damned board.
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
Just read a Tarik Tweet
Turns out Theo isn’t in America to play goalie. It’s his cover for a massive international dildo smuggling operation. Looks like Theo has been quite successful.
You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.
You are consistent with your Theo insults, that’s fur sure.

Yeah. French-Canadian police are waiting outside the VC to arrest Theo after the game for stealing their national treasure: The Dil de Lie. A dildo shaped exactly like the Flore de Lie.

If Varly’s in net, he hurts himself further. I would like to see Neuvy, though.

I ment a healthy Varley. But Neuvy would be good too.
If you don't wanna get hit, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!
Neurvy is good for the future, but he never seemed great in the NHL. Mediocre numbers, though he is still young.

Green needs to stop charging and taking himself out of position to make those hits. I don’t care how mad he is.

Didn’t see that one, what happened?

The last goal in the BUF game. Tallinder rushed end to end, had a clear shooting lane once he crossed the blue line as 3 and 26 were backing way off, Theo flubbed the save and left a rebound in the slot. 3 Caps within a stick of Tallinder and not one of them tied him up or in any way obstructed his next opportunity to put it home.
The guy had 2 goals all of last season.
