Pens @ Caps GNT | 7 PM ET 12.1.11 | NHLN

[elocomotive]

They are shooting enough, just have missed the net a lot

That's true, but you're always going to miss the net some. Only 17 shots on net tonight. I just think they cycle too long sometimes. Gotta get someone on the doorstep and get it to them.

Dangerous icing here...

OT: the fans in the Peg boo'd Shane Doan all night. What??!?

Winny-peg people aren't that nice. They were taunting the Caps all night when we played them. We are in the same divisio, but we are far from rivals.

 

[elocomotive]

While I agree that Schultz can't let that pass though, Orlov's positioning was horrible on that play.

Yeah, that's true.

I think Dale Hunter must be giving them some faceoff advice. They've been horrible from the dot the last several weeks and they've been awesome tonight.

Right as the announcer says... "Best faceoff night of the entire season"

Hah, shortest lived rivalry ever. I think they've just had a lot of pent up emotions, but seriously? Why would you boo Doan?

Pens were dominant early in the season, but the past 3 games have been crap.

LET'S GO CAPS!!! GET IT, HERE!!!

Who the heck is keeping the hit count in Verizon? No way the Caps have 43 hits. Been physical, but I don't recall seeing that many.

 

[elocomotive]

Nice pass, Wideman... jesus. He's been invisible tonight.

 

[pixburgher66]

Staalsy...baby...you gotta pot that one.

1st period the Caps destroyed them. Must've had almost 20.

I don't doubt it. Brouwer probably has 10 by himself. They probably had 20 in the first period. We may lose, but we've beat up the Pens tonight.

 

[ritari330]

Shitty last :30

 

[elocomotive]

Bahhh. Loss. But we PLAYED a lot better. First game we haven't looked like shit in several weeks. I like the direction we are going.

 

[pixburgher66]

Wow. When's the last time the Pens won in regulation in Washington? 06? Maybe 07?

Ovechkin has 10, apparently.

 

[ritari330]

Nice pass, Wideman... jesus. He's been invisible tonight.

To be fair, he's been asked (not really tonight) to play like Greenie. That's unfair to ask of him.

Caps need a healthy Greenie

 

[pixburgher66]

Good game guys, they played with passion, and that's good. OV got a bit anxious there at the end with the overskate. You guys look a heckuva lot better tonight than the last Caps game I watched.

 

[elocomotive]

Lol. Good counting, sir.

Congrats, P66. We gotta get the PP back on track and keep playing hard like tonight. It'll turn around.

 

[ritari330]

Very few defensive lapses tongiht with Hamrlik out of the lineup. Make that a regular thing please?
