Up one after one? It’s a start. I’ll take it.

So, I guess she’s not doing the recap?

Dump and Chase
Its getting harder each game for me to enjoy the Caps offense. to me, Dump and Chase and to an extent cycling is only effective if your really good at it. Caps are not, probably because they tried to implement it mid season, or maybe they don’t have the personnel.
i REALLY miss the high powered offense
Fascinating stat tweeted by Corey – if Flyers don’t come back, they’ll be .500 at home this season. That’s awful.

They're not coming back
They’re getting whipped.
My sound keeps dropping out for a few seconds. Is everyone else getting that? Trying to figure if its Cox or CSN.

11 shots on goal that period? Wow. Caps lead in SOG 11-10.

Boston hasn’t scored a goal in over five periods (I’m only going back to their last game). Down 2-0 to the Pens in the third.

I hope so? Rather see them score today than tomorrow. No way they go nine periods.

#Caps Aucoin has already played in one period as many minutes “Wrecker” had in his games with WSH.
I’m wondering why Coiner wasn’t called up sooner. Or at least instead of Wrecker (or Reckless, as I call him.) Gee, with a last name like his, what else could be become besides an enforcer. I can just imagine what they called him on the playground.
Rocking the Red for teams on the banks of the Potomac and at the Gateway Arch and Singing the Blues about Hockey.
I figured it was to give some toughness with Erskine out of the lineup for Schultz but since he was sent down and Schultz is still in the lineup that theory went out to window. Also thought maybe that is was so he could get Bourque back once and for all and they called him up a few games early just so it didn’t look like they hired him as a hitman of sorta just to get Bourque and then be on his way.
Made some good plays as well. Still gets man-handled at times at this level, but his instincts serve him well.
Everything ends badly...otherwise it wouldn't end.

I snickered when he skated past Gill. Looked like a little tugboat maneuvering around a cruise ship.
That'll make your weagle wink!

Was pretty. But wasted. SHOOT!

It’s 6-2 now, FWIW.

no but a Kovalchuk Schenn fight did and Kovalchuk landed a nice right (nice if you aren’t the one paying his salary); crowded box
I despise only one team more than the Flyers, but it’s kind of relevant to the Caps interests for NJ to lose as much as possible right now.
They're up there
Most hated teams:
Blues + Flyers (they play a dirty brand of hockey and then whine when they’re penalized for it)
Disliked teams:
Wings + Nucks
Pens, Flyers, Bolts, Rangers.

I don't mind the Pens
I don’t know the Bolts well enough to dislike them. The Bruins are up there but I don’t dislike them. I do like Tuukka Rask quite a bit and Tyler Seguin too… but there are some people on that team I flat out don’t like.
Kessler with his 16th – Canucks up early over Avs.

I knew it couldn’t last. SOG 13-12 Montreal.

Well. That was a good shift for Brouwer.

Out of curiosity, does anyone still regret the Brouwer trade? I seem to remember a number of people being not very enthusiastic about it at the time.
This game looks like a giant fuster-cluck as of late

WTF Ward!! A drop pass at the fucking blue line. Sit down now and stay there.

This is not going to work if all they can do is keep getting it out of the zone. Need O time. Grrrr.

And, they have difficulty with that. Too predictable; no imagination in the attack.

It’s a painful decision. I’ve already bitched to my rep about next year’s likely price increase.

I think 2/15 was the date mentioned for renewal stuff to come out.
That'll make your weagle wink!
"You're the boss, apple sauce" - @GreenLife52
I know. And have to re-up by mid-March to guarantee playoff tickets.
"The Caps fan doesn't say, 'is the glass half full' or 'is the glass half empty'. He wonders when the glass is going to spill."
What if we still don’t know if we’re making the playoffs by mid-March?
Also, shouldn’t you be guaranteed playoff tickets THIS SEASON by virtue of being a season ticket holder THIS SEASON?
That’s how they guarantee you’ll re-up. You’re all jacked because the playoffs are upcoming so you don’t want to lose them.

No, that’s marketing. (-:

yup
a lot of caveats and ifs in the fine print
pretty sure if you tell them you want playoff tickets but don’t renew that they collect the playoff money up front (have no idea with this regime how long it takes to get the unused money back later) and they don’t guarantee you the seats you had during the regular season; of course, at the moment, might not be an issue for this team
SWhyno: #Habs power play coming up after commercial. You think #Caps’ PP is bad, you haven’t seen anything.
Let’s hope.
This period can’t end soon enough.

Four shots this period, right?
