wow close one at the end there , good game caps .

Good game. Got real interesting there in the 3rd. Wouldn't mind seeing this again in the summer. You guys down?

So fucking tired of our offensive woes. OV, Backstrom, Knuble, Semin all need to wake the fuck up.

At least the Bolts are gonna lose too.

Not the way we're playing.

since the theme of this thread became point out the refs errors ... how about the clear miss on Varlamov playing the puck in the no go zone

Didn't see it. Hey, I could be a ref!

 

[jstewismybastardson]

how bout the ridiculous home cooking from the scorekeeper ... Malhotra 2 for 12 on faceoffs ... 0 for 7 through 2 periods when he had 3 clear faceoff wins up to the intermission

i guess the second best faceoff guy in the league just had an off night

starting to wonder about Steckels #'s


edit:

not surprisingly
Steckel 70% at home, 57.3% on the road

 

[jstewismybastardson]

on to more interesting conspiracy theories

aaron rome injures his mcl ...
an injury that can require as many as four to six weeks to rehab depending on the degree of the sprain

ive got the game pvr'ed and i cant find where he takes any contactbefore he leaves the bench

maybe the media should ask salo how he feels tomorrow ... there might be a miraculous improvement in his condition

You're right. When the home team gets the favorable line shifts, it's not surprising. Who gives a crap who leads the lead in faceoff percentage?

Like I said, good game, Canucks. They outplayed the Caps. Just thought the bad calls went against us tonight. It happens.

obviously from tonights official game report it would seem the caps scorekeeper does

Okay... I don't.

I like it when Sportsnet does the replay of the early game...It's 0-0 with 18:30 left in the 1st period.

This thread - spoiler alert!

Hey Dash, how is B-Mo doing in Calgary this year? We let go of a lot of guys last year, almost all of which were right, but I wish we'd kept him. I see his stats, but how's he been on the ice and what is he centering - 2nd line? 3rd line? Just curious. I'm a fan of his.

He's been up-and-down and he's been playing center as well as on the wing and I think he's providing great value for the money. He's a smart hockey player but you can tell that he's starting to lose a step. Very good penalty killer.

Matt Hendricks just scored a beauty...Wrister beat Bobby Lou clean (nice breakaway pass to put him in the clear)

tough start

Edler and Ehrhoff need to start using there slappers from the point more


/ well whaddya know?

They just flashed a stat that the Caps are 12-1-4 when scoring first this season. I guess it's 12-2-4 now.

Alex Edler just tied it up (nice feed from Mmmm....Bop)

1-1

 

[jstewismybastardson]

that was romes last shift of the game (9:05 remaining in the 1st) and he skated normally to the bench
