Caps @ Devils Home and Home 1 of 2 GNT| 7:00 PM ET | 11/11/11

Mike Green seems to be back tonight. It'll be interesting to see how he and the rest of the blueliners play with him back in the lineup. Caps got their asses kicked in practive after the game vs Dallas (Fuck 'em) and we'll see how they play tonight. Gotta win the 1 on 1 battles that they didn't last few games.

LET'S GO CAPS!!

 

[elocomotive]

Unusual lines tonight...

Ovi - MoJo - Brouwer
Eakin - Backstrom - Semin
Chimmer - Laich - Wardo
Hendricks - Halpern - Knubs

Karlzner
Green-Hammer
Wideman-Erskine

Vokoun in the net

Alan May is absolutely destroying John Carlson on Caps pre-game. All 3 goals that MAy said were Carlson's fault were more Hamrlik's fault (On wrong side of the ice, lost 1 on 1 battle and let puck get centered, and horrible pinch that put Carlson as only D-man half back) . Alan May is just an idiot

Just 1 switch basically, Mojo and Backstrom. Think it's to get Semin going, although he did score on the PP last game.

Oh, and also Bruce puts the Puck movers on the right side :p

 

[ritari330]

Also, would've definately scratched Hamrlik over Schultz

Even if Carlson did have one bad game (I missed the last game), he's been money all year. Karlzner line has been stellar defensively and don't get PP time to ramp up their points. May stinks.

Hold the phones!

 

[ritari330]

Hold the phones!

Hammer has been really bad since Green went out. That most likely will change with green in the lineup, but I'd still scratch him. I mean it is supposed to be about accountability isn't it?

Let's Go Caps! Just so you know, I'll be in and out...watching the basketball game tonight, too. Go 'Heels!

 

[ritari330]

Ooh, according to CSN, Eakin is playing 3C while Laich is 2LW along with the Backstrom/Mojo switch.

About to head up to Boston, will be listening until I'm out of radio range. Devs coming off of 3 straight wins, no Kovy, need at least a split from this home and home. Marty looks to be back in form, hopefully that continues.

Yeah, nevermind. Proabably May and his dumbass fault.

 

[apachef4]

Caps with the first PP of the night.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Janssen is the worst.

 

[apachef4]

Offensive zone hooking penalty on Semin. Insert Gomer Pyle joke here.

 

[ritari330]

Semin offensive zone stick penalty? Say it ain't so!

Although I'm not 100% sure about that one, I missed it

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Our power play is horrific.

 

[apachef4]

Well, shit.

 

[ritari330]

That was a bomb form Larsson. his 1st NHL goal.

 

[ritari330]

Devs PP, meh
