Series Thread: Round 1: Philly vs Washington

[elocomotive]

That second call was pretty bad.

One bad call and a couple missed - guarantee you'll see a Caps' PP or two soon.

 

[elocomotive]

My fucking god... lol

 

[Vadered]

Oh my god, for all the joking I did in the ref thread, Washington is taking a LOT of penalties. Second period is going to be a 20 minute Capital power play at this rate.

 

[elocomotive]

I only saw it in real time, but it looked like another hit in the shoulder and his head whipped because.. well, Orpik. Who knows.

 

[forty_three]

I... wow.

 

[elocomotive]

Now lets fucking go!!!!

 

[elocomotive]

Andre Burakovsky in the second.

I've heard that playing with less players on the ice than your opponent makes it more difficult. Caps should stop doing that.

Hockey tips with Ritari!

What's up, dude?

Doing well. Besides the heart palpitations and the clinched butthole, I can't really complain.

 

[Vadered]

There was one of your make up (non) calls. Capital with a blatant trip not called.

 

[elocomotive]

 

[Vadered]

And there's a second with a "hook."

I mean, s'all good, two of the Capital penalties were non-existent.

Is this a basketball ref moonlighting or something?

 

[Vadered]

Good kill, but let's not take any more penalties, alright?

 

[elocomotive]

Beagle... shoot that shit.

For all the great things Ovechkin gives you as a weapon... its awesome to watch Nick Backstrom in his office. SO calm.

I really hope they don't use the Philly broadcast the entire series. They're not bad, but national broadcasts should be a little closer to neutral than one of the teams broadcast...

At this point, I kind of feel like I'd prefer Craig Laughlin.


I hate Craig Laughlin.



And I was excited to hear Bill Clement. Oh, Billy, what happened to you?

They won't normally; all the national teams are busy with other games tonight. They'll get a national team for a game or two, probably the Washington home team for one of the games, and if the series goes late and there aren't as many other schedule conflicts, you'll see more of the national teams.
