2016-17 Washington Capitals Thread - Thanks for Everything, Ovi. It's Time to Move on.. #Firesale

[Hersh]

They are just putting a hurting on the Pens tonight. Could be 5 or 6 to nothing pretty easily. 

[DogofWar1]

This is nice.

Let's do this all the time.

Yes, let's.

MoJo and Beagle are playing really well so far this season. If Wilson could get get a bounce to go his way, he'd have a few goals this season as well. He seems noticeably better. Playing with more skill finally. 

Essentially the Caps are playing well without Kuzy really getting going and without Williams doing anything. I forgot, as the announcers just said, only 2 goals being scored by the defense so far.

Willy has to eventually have that "when hard work meets opportunity," thing happen in terms of his luck.

He's just not cashed in the last year plus now and he's had some bounces.

Ovechkin was like "not only am I going to score this goal, but you are going to have my pucks on your forehead and you will like it."

Good start to the DC playoff revenge tour. Hope the Skins can do the same on Sunday.

No, you've got it wrong.  DC wrecking Pittsburgh makes them have pity on an ailing Green Bay.

Geez Pens, try not to get scored on, on your way to the parking lot.

[Hersh]

I love Backstrom's reaction after his last goal. No smiling, no rubbing it in, all class. 

[Popeman38]

That, my friends, was a very, very, very thorough ass whoopin. 

AND I LOVED EVERY ****ING SECOND.

[PokerPacker]

How much free booze did Springy indulge in during that beat-down?

[GoDeep81]

It was turning into a pretty good night, then I see the Wiz can't even beat the Sixers.. Oof.. 

[Springfield]

Man, that was incredibly enjoyable.

Ovi is so damn tough, it's awesome.  He said his arm went numb for a bit in the 2nd after that ****er Letang tripped him, and yet he's right back out there in a few minutes and scores in the third.

Awesome.

As amazing as that is, my guess is that it's staged. Still great though. They did a great job making her look like she was from Pittsburgh, which in my opinion is the most important part of the insult.

Awesome.

I was 2 rows behind Letang.  Yelled at him when he was in the box, asking if he always tried to end player's careers.

It was so hilarious last night that people just left with ten minutes left in the third. Like me! 6-0 and I just go home. Ten minutes left.

Who cares. I didn't get back until 11 

If I stayed full game probably don't get back until 11:30. Metro for you. 

[Springfield]

No "Let's go Pens" chants last night.  It was ****ing awesome.

That is the BEST thing I've seen on the net in some time. Thanks so much.

[SkinsHokieFan]

First game of the season I enjoyed. Great to see the boys play with real energy

Which is the most frustrating thing with this Caps team. When they actually play, they dominate. The wins over the Pens in the playoffs last year were dominant wins on the ice. Tonight it just showed on the scoreboard
