This the day Marian Gaborik tears his groin and missed the next 6 months?

by red army line on Sep 27, 2009 10:43 AM EDT reply actions  

I sure hope not — Gaborik is one of my favorite players to watch. I love his game when he’s healthy; great hands and breathtaking speed.

He’s playing for the Rangers, so I want him to falter against the Caps, but I’d really enjoy watching him go the whole 82.

Yes, I’d love to see him get M.A.Fleury pulled from a game or two.

Sounds like someone has Gabby on their fantasy team…

I’m sure someone does, but that someone ain’t me. With his injury history? Noooo thank you.

I just like watching the guy play. I hope he’ll go 75+ games, but I don’t expect it.

For those who haven’t read it, check out Corey’s article on Green. Has got some pretty good quotes in there, I thought.

Green hasn’t helped regain his “elite status” in the five preseason games so far.

Wish I could be at the game. I want to see how Verizon Center receives Brash for the first time in a Blueshirt.

Yay, looks like they’re showing the game online, too. Sold my tickets to a friend, so I’ll be watching this one from the sofa.

Fight, you time-wasting figure skaters!

For sure, but not a good first shift for SOB.

by Knee high to a duck on Sep 27, 2009 12:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

why are they playing together again?

by hockeyman33 on Sep 27, 2009 12:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

right as i say that, Semin, Laich, and BMo step out

by hockeyman33 on Sep 27, 2009 12:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

Do I see Lundquist’s shorts on the ice?

Can’t watch it on the Caps site, and it’s not on atdhe. Too bad.

Bummer. Why doesn’t the Caps stream work? ISP issues?

You have to have a DC ISP :(

Fight, you time-wasting figure skaters!

by boutros23 on Sep 27, 2009 12:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

ah. still need to learn the (potential) new guy’s numbers

by hockeyman33 on Sep 27, 2009 12:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

Did you not see “blocked by Laing, blocked by Laing, blocked by Laing” in that 07-08 6-5 SO win (that was on the Pens 5-on-3 in OT)?

by red army line on Sep 27, 2009 1:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

i did, but i dont remember his number from then. and he hasn’t made the team yet.

by hockeyman33 on Sep 27, 2009 1:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

Exactly what we need from Knuble. Crashing the net.

by hockeyman33 on Sep 27, 2009 12:34 PM EDT reply actions  

Pretty pass from Nicky to Green, led him off the boards and led to a shot and a cover. Liking what I’m seeing so far, other than getting into a 5on3 situation.

by Knee high to a duck on Sep 27, 2009 12:35 PM EDT reply actions  

Score! Lots of pressure, Sasha tallies

by cuqui on Sep 27, 2009 12:37 PM EDT reply actions  

Nice shot, Sasha!

Fight, you time-wasting figure skaters!

by boutros23 on Sep 27, 2009 12:38 PM EDT reply actions  

It was a great shot by Semin, but just a great shift from that whole line, especially BMo.

by Knee high to a duck on Sep 27, 2009 12:41 PM EDT reply actions  

He almost had a goal himself.

by hockeyman33 on Sep 27, 2009 12:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

I was out for a bit and just caught 28’s goal. Who scored our first goal?

"My face is my mask."

by Jake Shapiro on Sep 27, 2009 12:42 PM EDT reply actions  

why did we put steckel in the box on the 5 on 3? Is that a new rule it has to be someone on the ice?

by gnuf on Sep 27, 2009 12:43 PM EDT reply actions  

yes. ovi tired, but they didnt let him since he was on the ice.

by hockeyman33 on Sep 27, 2009 12:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

So that’s a new rule then? I don’t remember that before

by gnuf on Sep 27, 2009 12:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

i dont think its new, but i could be wrong

by hockeyman33 on Sep 27, 2009 1:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

Not new I don’t think

Potsie sure has looked good this preseason

by SethB on Sep 27, 2009 1:06 PM EDT reply actions  

Looks like we can start running a who will score more points game… the Caps or Skins?

by superjuan on Sep 27, 2009 1:12 PM EDT reply actions  

If the Caps average 3 points per game over 82 games, that’s 246.
If the Redskins average 11 points per game over 16 games, that’s 176.

Just saying.

PK has killed 25 of 27 so far in the preseason (per a TEB tweet)

i’d love to see that in the season

by hockeyman33 on Sep 27, 2009 1:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, I’m pretty sure we’d all settle for 93% kill…! =)

by SethB on Sep 27, 2009 1:20 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, that last Bourque to Steckel play was nice.. quick, good scoring opportunity.

Also, is it me or do the Rangers look discombobulated on the breakout? Think the completely revamped roster is going to take some time to gel?

I leave to do my laundry, and the Caps have scored two more goals! Let’s keep this up vs. Boston.

The wizards are on the upslope, they’ll do well this year, well much better than last year. and the skins…once they fire their coach and get a high profile name choach like mike shanahan, people will go back to the skins bandwagon.

dc is a city that wants to win, and if the team wins, they’ll get the coverage.

by oates_meal on Sep 27, 2009 2:04 PM EDT reply actions  

i still dont understand why they fired their entire staff a few years ago.

by hockeyman33 on Sep 27, 2009 2:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

Joe Gibbs retired, and then every year before that, the owner tried to buy a championship.

by oates_meal on Sep 27, 2009 3:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

Ugh. The live feed has died on me. Now I’m following the game by way of Twitter. Fun times…

by Jake Shapiro on Sep 27, 2009 2:04 PM EDT reply actions  

Aw, I was hoping for a blowout. Now it’ll just be a pretty good win. Fingers crossed. Let’s score another.

Good win, but a shitty third period. Oh well. Now let’s get ready for Boston.

I hope so. He’s got the name and the heart.
