^^ It's cool. I understood what you were saying.

[DC9]

The Washington Capitals have just scored on a high slot tip in on a point shot.

And I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hersh]

It's always funny when a goalie doesn't see a shot that misses everything. If you are watching you may have noticed Holtby not see one.

MAN.... what a wrister by OVI... that was at least 90 mph

I notice that with him early in the season.  Then as the season goes on he gets more comfortable and sits deeper in the crease.  What's your take?

[TradeTheBeal!]

Dominate!

[DC9]

Fantastic first period.  2 goals against the King.

[SkinsFanRob]

OVs goal was filthy. Pure sex on ice.

I had to call my wife in from the kitchen to watch that one bro.

Then I sent her back to make sandwiches.

Holtby does not look outstanding tonight

[SkinsFanRob]

The sad thing is I told my girlfriend this would happen. For whatever reason the Caps cannont hold a two goal lead. Poor Holtz has some kind of mental block when it comes to the Rags. 

[DC9]

Vesey had not business scoring that.  He goes down too early the first month or so.  I swear he's done it every year.  His angles in the crease are off and he goes down too early.  Once he gets into the flow he's elite, but early on he's good for a stinker or three.

Just flat out not seeing a puck cause of a really good play by the offensive player or bad luck with a defenseman skating right into your angle on the puck.

[DC9]

Same old Caps.

I missed the barrage to change it from 2-0 to 3-2. 

Still don't love the bottom 6. Wasn't there a good scorer in Hershey that you thought we be up this season?

Jakub Vrana?

He's being groomed for the top 6 brother.  I think this organization is going to be hesitant to move a forward up to play bottom 6 any time soon after what happened with Wilson.

 

Holtby let in 3 on 5 shots.  It was awful.

[pjfootballer]

Well, that went from awesome to "suck" in a hurry.  I'm about done with Orlov and his turnovers.  Ready to let him go this offseason. 

[ixcuincle]

0-1 with Air Slapshot avatar

Changing it  tomorrow

[GoDeep81]

I guess it's best nobody watched that **** show.. lol

[ixcuincle]

Rather see them get hot late than early .

4 goals in 6 games for Ovechkin.

[Popeman38]

Oilers will be a handful with a solid tender, a sold defense corps, and that speed up front with some brute (Lucic) mixed in.  Caps were flat in the 2nd again, and it cost them.  Talbot was en fuego last night, easily could have scored 5-7 goals if he wasn't great. Sanford, Orlov, Kuzy, Burakovsky, Oshie all got robbed/missed the net. It's early, and the Oilers are good.

[RonArtest15]

Seeing how good the Oilers are now only makes their trade of Taylor Hall that much more moronic. 

[Hersh]

Forgot there was a game on last night. The least surprising thing I saw this morning is the changing of the lines which including reuniting 8 and 19. Cool to see that Wilson was moved up to the 2nd line and it paid off for a game. Good to get the win of course. 

[Springfield]

Just got done watching it.  Lots of hard work against Van.

Watched the first two periods in and out of sleep. I think I'm starting to get that "old dude" thing with these night games.

I actually woke up again in the 3rd and it was still 3-2 us, so we must've had a couple that we put in quickly.

For me, even early in the season (but especially later), any Western Conference wins are good ones.

We need to stay the course and ensure that we work on these indirect passes and throwing at the open ice.  We're going to make the playoffs, but we need to make sure we're a better playoff team when we get there.

Also, at least right now, Gruby is better than Holtby.  I know Braden starts slowly, but he needs to un**** himself.  He's a veteran and a Vezina winner now and that stuff just isn't going to cut it.  What are you seeing with him?
