Which DC sports team has the Most Valuable Players? That would be DC United, a team being pushed out by the city. Help Keep United in DC so they can receive a fair deal on a lease and help develop a path to build a stadium with local investment and incentives.
Lineup today is: 8-90-28, 26-21-20, 25-15-22, 23-85-42, 27-74, 44-81 55-6, 29
So Perreault single-handedly buries the B’s last game on the top line and gets demoted to the 4th line for this game? The hell? Logic, we we has it?

Also there is an app called tunein radio where 1500 has a stream you can listen to if you look in the DC feeds.

I’ve still got 21 minutes of morning and am going to enjoy it.

Hopefully the Caps do their part in enhancing that enjoyment.

Love that the graffic is talking about how the standings can change every day and they don’t have yesterdays games for anyone
Yesterday, ESPN has a photo of Mark Rechhi accompanying an article about the B’s.

I read an article that was tracking the IPs of illegal downloads and there were a ton of downloads from Congressional IPs
About a month ago, a bunch of TV shows were downloaded from IPs owned by the RIAA. Ah hypocrisy…

You don’t want to hear Calle Johansson do colour commentary?

Remember – Caps need a win to get into first place. One point ties them in points with the Panthers, but Panthers will win tie break today because they will have played less games.

No shorts for the boys in red five minutes in. Only two for the B’s, but still . . . .

the other night, Locker mentioned that when playing back-to-back games, his legs always seemed to feel worse at the beginning of the 2nd game as opposed to as the game wore on and the adrenaline got flowing. Hopefully this is the case to start todays game and they’ll get things going a bit here as the 1st wears on

They are just following the lead of the fanbase watching at home.

Great speed by Ovi. Shame it was Halpy and not Semin on the receiving end of the pass.

Nice pass by Ovi to a completely unmolested by defenders Halpy.
Dingos are involved. Best not to ask.
LIke an Ender’s Game “Hive Mind” sort of thing?

I despise that rink-side camera. Sure, it “gets you in the game,” but I can’t tell what the fuck is happening.
This last week is the most I have been impressed with him all year.

I am loving 26 on the 2nd line the last few games. He seems like a guy that needs the coach to give him support and, when he gets that support, he goes nuts.

Well I think it helps that he gets to play hockey instead of fighting all the time.

FUCK NBC, I can’t believe they aren’t playing this game on broadcast. We get it, you’re playing the SB later, we don’t need 24 hours of pregame!
All the commercials are already on line. Save yourself the trouble.

As a Redskins fan, I despise the Giants and never root for them. I was living in NYC then, and flew to LA for the weekend to avoid the game. I wanted the Pats to get the undefeated season, just cause it would be cool. Going back to work with all the Giants fans in my office was hideous that week.
I told my daughter earlier today that I just couldn’t root for the Giants. I don’t have it in me.

Come on guys. They played yesterday as well. Need to push harder. 1 shot on goal 12 minutes in isn’t acceptable.

Ovechkin versus Corvo? Please more. Please much more.

Even though Corvo always knows exactly what Ovechkin’s going to do?
Dingos are involved. Best not to ask.
On the replay, clear to me that the goal is on Wideman. The defense is supposed to follow the man on the criss-cross, not stay in their lane. Schultz did the right thing.

If that’s the case, then that’s obviously ridiculous.

yeah, this weekend chelsea have drawn when they should have won by 2 or 3, bucks lost 2 and badgers lost. I need a win from these guys because no one else is.

Well Howard Webb helped one of those things along.

it was Tom Ovrebo and Barca all over again. well not that bad but it felt the same

Fair enough. That De Gea save near the end, wow.

well honestly I can’t be too upset with a point, puts them ahead of newcastle, and yeah that Cahill blast was unreal and an amazing save by De Gea but I keep going back to when Torres was alone in the box. had he just shot that one instead of cutting back….

Definitely overthought. He’ll work out of it (he has to).

Shots are only 11-8. Score is 2-0. Thomas probably the difference now. I hope we keep it up. Things will come.

skating over to your teammate when he’s surrounded by 3 opposing players and then having an opponent drop his gloves because you approached is now a penalty
We were not dominated by any stretch after the first few minutes. Need to dent the twine. We’ll get there.
Shows you what two breakdowns can do. Need to stay strong.

Game of inches. Ovi misses by inches twice, if Semin elevates that puck a few inches…sigh

Mite who just scored went for the Kuznetsov row-to-center-ice celebration. Let’s get that kid up to Hershey.
