Hey BBB, I'm watching Tim and Sid on SNET, I think we need to add Bucket Guy in addition to Dart Guy

I honestly just want to hear their reasoning. I know it'll be something along the lines of grit and leadership and whatever other intangibles you wanna throw in there but it would be fun to hear just to hear them spin some bullshit when the simple answer is “the Caps are statistically a much better hockey team than the Maple Leafs and that should eventually win out”.

It's just one of those idiotic things that hockey people say.

I'm guessing the rationale for the Caps putting forth their best effort is...well... they fucking better put forth their best effort!! Lose this one and collars will be getting very tight on the Caps' bench.

A fan who showed up at Maple Leaf Square this afternoon with a Errol Thompson style lid decked out with Maple Leaf insignia.

He's only allowed to join the club if he has a dart.

I'm much older than OV yet he has more grey hair than I do.

Next Leafs autograph session: 'excuse me Mr. Matthews, can you sign my dad's darts?"

Are you telling me you wouldn't pay for a signed carton of darts by Auston or Mitch?

No Karl Alzner for the Caps tonight.

Backstrom makes it 1-0 Caps just over 2 minutes in.

There's OV not showing up in the playoffs again.

 

[apachef4]

OV! 2-0!

 

[elocomotive]

I decided if watching from the kitchen helped, then not watching at all would be great, right?

Go Caps!

 

[esls79]

Only way a goalie saves a snipe like OV's is with dumb luck.


/Bernier would have had it

OV probably should have gotten a penalty for interference there, but the refs appear to have put the whistles away.

That is all.

Carlson. Schmidt assisted the first goal while 4 on 4 too.
