Hoping for a three point game in the Kings/Panthers game so I can come out of it happy enough

As long as Florida gets 2 and the Kings get 1, I'm okay with it.

Not me. The Isles need a Kings win in regulation. It's time to end the losing streak Isles. Just because Okposo is hurt doesn't mean they should start playing like crap.

I went to the Caps' game the other night against the Kings and after the game was over thought 'well, Dash, we're doing our part to help the Flames.'

It was very much appreciated, eloco. That was a solid team effort by the Caps, when did Mike Green learn to play defense (and what a hit on Clifford).

Yeah, that was a great game. Quick honestly had some sick saves in the 1st to keep it competitive for a bit, but we dominated all aspects. Green doesn't have to clock as many minutes now and he doesn't have to play against the top O-line, so he's actually playing better D and he still brings everything he always did to the PP. It's actually pretty ideal b/c he gets his minutes there and our top D-men largely get a break during the PP. But I don't think it's a system that can be maintained at his salary. But for now... wheeeeeee!

Mike Green be like...

And the crowd was like...

Holtby was also very good between the pipes and I'm sure Caps fans want to see more of the following:

Hopefully the Flyers keep the Isles playing like crap

So Erik Gudbranson wasn't out on the bench to start the game - wonder if he comes back tonight or something's wrong with him

 

[Cobiemonster]

Aleksander Barkov makes it 1-0 Panthers - 2 on 1 with Brad Boyes for the goal

 

[Cobiemonster]

Erik Gudbranson is back on the bench, so that's good news for the Panthers

 

[Cobiemonster]

Jamie McBain ties it for the Kings - wait, what - Jamie McBain?! lol

 

[Cobiemonster]

Kings and Panthers tied at 1-1 after one period

 

[elocomotive]

Holy shit what saves by Holtby... and a little luck too.

Wow. A 0-0 tie halfway through the game until Turris makes it 1-0 Sens on a dominant shift by Ottawa.

Caps come right back and score 2 goals in the next 2 minutes including a dandy rebound out of mid-air by Ovechkin.
