Caps vs. Leafs GNT

[elocomotive]

I don't know why, but ticket prices for tonight's games are reminding me of prices in the '80s at the old Capital Centre. I imagine it's a mix of early season + Monday night + cold weather + poor visiting team draw = 5 bucks for a $50 ticket. (Ritari - I hope you were able to take advantage of tonight's cheap prices!)

Caps are 2-3 when I attend, and 10-0 when I don't. So, tonight is a final test. If they lose with me there (against the Leafs no less), I'm gonna have to watch the rest of the season from home for the good of the team!!

I'm especially psyched b/c my favorite Capital - Mathieu Perreault - has been called up from Hershey and will anchor the center spot on the 2nd line tonight. Looks like Michael Neuvirth will be in net as the Caps continue to flip flop the two 'tenders in their season-long audition for the 2011 playoffs. Caps are placing someone on IR tomorrow, but not disclosing who it is yet (though its not OV, Semin, or any of the bigs).

Let's go Caps!!!

Nice, dude. I still haven't seen OV at a live game. Go Caps!

Well, guess who scored the first goal of the game...

 

[BostonAJ]

Perreault scores his second of the night. Pretty good call up. 3-1 Caps.

Wooo. Just checking in to see what he was doing tonight. Okay Caps, we just need you to not abuse the Leafs so much that they come into a game against the Pens with a chip on their shoulders. Don't mind me...back to your regular scheduled programming.

kthxbye

Amen. Leafs make it 4-2 now. That's so mean to give Toronto hope.

 

[Dacks]

Good call, guys. Leafs send it to OT!

 

[BostonAJ]

Fuck.

 

[SLY]

Fuck you Washington... You had to give them a point?

 

[Dacks]

Wait a second... are you guys just cheering against Toronto because you want the lottery pick? Too funny... couldn't get it at first.

 

[BostonAJ]

Yeah. We got Seguin with the first pick. Another top 3 would be SWEET!!!

 

[BostonAJ]

Well, that's some serious bullshit from the Leafs two games in a row now.

 

[SLY]

lol... I feel bad for Eloco and Tyler.

Fucking Leafs. Pussies... Oh shit, here comes an infraction :P

 

[mattola]

Amen. Leafs make it 4-2 now. That's so mean to give Toronto hope.

yikers... maybe that was a turn around game

 

[BostonAJ]

I'm totally blaming you for this Leafs win, bro. The power of the jinx is undeniable.
