I expect to see a much tighter defensive game from the Caps tonight—way, way too loose in our own end for 4 of the last 6 periods. 55 needs to be paired with Juice, Poti with Ersky please!
Support your local bakery!
Ideally 55 is paired with someone that is a little more fleet of foot, but the Caps don’t exactly have a plethora of those types on their blueline right now.
Now drink with me deeply of the bourbon, scotch, and rye until such time as we are fighting drunk.

Caps had some trouble getting to Toronto
via TEB:
“Bruce Boudreau confirmed the Dulles tower did report seeing sparks coming from underneath the Caps’ charter. “So we turned back,” he said."
#NeedsMoreBradley
So there's just one thing I don't understand
Lets say they flew and had the most serious of problems.
Nylander would have definitely skated for the Caps.
Seems like he would have something to gain from that wouldn’t you say?

they’d immediately call up Hershey and send the entire team to Toronto.
"If Chuck Norris was up against 7 Rangers, he'd call Ryan Kesler."
GO CANUCKS GO!
Im pretty sure if something horrible like that happened, the game would be canceled.
#NeedsMoreBradley
NHLN is fookin’ me over tonight. No HNIC this week but they’re showing USA vs. Canada in some BS game.
But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.
USA and Canada women’s teams no less.

hello boys.
here’s my game plan: i’ll be here for analysis of the cap’s play (we play them next week, so it’s worthwhile to get a good look at that), and i’ll keep the truculence over at PPP (unless it ends up over here).
then, after this game, i’ll be back over at NM for the nucks-wild.

Like I said…for whatever reason my area Fios does not HAVE a channel 1 listing. It doesn’t exist for me.

Man you guys are stubborn
He says he doesn’t get the channel. Sheesh.

Yeah, I know around the B’more area they don’t get CSN+ at all. I read that FiOS is working on it or something…
I think that’s probably what it is, but I’m right next to Crofton…didn’t figure that to be flagged Baltimore.

In Central NY the same problem with ATDHE
But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.
Where in CNY?

And he’s showing it off for all to see. Kinda brazen for a guy with a 2 goal deficit.

For those watching on their computers
http://www.justin.tv/nhl4ever seems to be more stable than the ATDHE link
they’re going back and forth for which is more stable…I just keep reloading the other one when one goes down

Backs the other day was asked why the Care Bears line works so well and he smiled and simply said “The Centreman”
I lived with a blind guy for a while, then he figured it out and demanded back rent.
He’s underrated on and off ice. That works just great for us.

Neuvirth looking reasonably solid
only a couple of stops but important ones. Let’s get to the intermission without giving one up.
Going in 2-0 will be a boost for the kid.

I do too, but they need to shoot. They forced passes through the D. That’s bad habits and it doesn’t work against the teams we need to beat.

Yeah, that selfish jerk is too busy awing his teammates for them to be effective.

Oh, agreed. But I also agreed with Joe B that Semin looked flabbergasted to receive that pass.

Got to finish? Feds had 11 goals total all of last year as #2 center. BMo already has 9.

feds was hurt a bit last year, but still BMo is awesome

Poti plays like an older Mike Green with a lobotomy.

And way less skill. A dumber poorer Mike Green.

I’m saying Poti tries to play like Green but isn’t as good or as fast and still makes plenty of the same dumb plays.
