Caps-Bolts GNT

[elocomotive]

Well, the lead for the vaunted (pffft) SE Division is on the line tonight as the Caps and Lightning square off at Verizon Center.

Puck drop is at 7pm, but will probably be delayed until roughly 7:30 for the Winter Classic banner raising and a big ceremony surrounding it.

I'm off to the game.

Did the Wings get a winter classic banner? I don't remember seeing one.

They should! It's better than those silly Stanley Cup banners...:p

I guess when you've never won a Cup, you take anything you can get.

Caps have played pretty well so far, just havent cashed in on some good opertunities. Bolts just killed a penalty

 

[ritari330]

PP Bolts, DOG penalty on Poti.

How does Roli the goalie look so far?

Looked pretty solid through the first period of play, had a few big saves, but nothing too flashy. Getting the job done though

I'm very happy for him. I hope he can take the Lightning to the playoffs & make some noise once their.

I'd like to see that too, just not too much noise

I'd like to see Tampa matchup against Pittsburgh, Philly or Washington. I think the games would be great to watch with all the offensive firepower on the ice.

well if they were to play the Caps, it'd sure be a good matchup. Tampa really would make me nervous in a 7 game series. I just hope that if they do meet up, the other 2 matchups you said were first

If the playoffs werer to start tonight before this game Pittsburgh would have home ice advantage against Washington in the 1st round.

 

[ritari330]

Downie and Hendricks in a scrap, Downie pulled Hendricks' jersey up from the front, kinda a bitch move. Looks like they will be at it again tonight by the way they are talking between the penalty box. Hendricks called downie "A Fucking ****" for his move with the jersey.

 

[ritari330]

Rolie with 2 pretty good saves back to back

 

[ritari330]

PP Caps, DOG

I don't think I would be too fond of that matchup that early into the playoffs. Good thing the playoffs don't start today

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Yeah it would suck that one of them would be out but imagine the build up before every game. It would be AWESOME!!

 

[ritari330]

No score after 2 periods

Tampa PP, Ruh Roh. I feel a Stamkos PP goal coming, hope I'm wrong
