It's what people are gonna do anyway. I don't really care one way or the other. I know as an opposing fan, I hate hearing "Loooouuuu" or "Roooooo," so maybe all the more reason to do it.

All I care about is that we have a stud goalie for the first time in a long time.

Yeah, but there's a racial element when you do it for Vokoun...

Oh, sure, you are reasonable now when you are up four. How about earlier when it was a tie game and you were ever so slightly less reasonable?

:becky:

LMAO. Vadered is on fire like Ovechkin tonight. ;)

Well, I'd love to say it was a great game, but the Flyers lost and therefore that is not possible.

Seriously though, congrats on the best start in franchise history, Caps fans. That's one for you this season.

Jesus, how lucky can one team get in a five minute stretch of hockey? lol The Caps used up all of it in the first several minutes of the third.

Still don't see how getting to the front of the net and screening the goalie is luck, but if it makees you feel better about the regular season loss :noidea:

Three long range shots that simply had eyes, including one harmless shot that deflected off Lilja up high and found it's way in. You just rarely get so fortunate in such a quick period of time. The other games in this series will be a lot more competitive. The Flyers are better than this.

Its funny (maybe funny isn't the right word) because that sounds like caps fans after a playoff loss. I've learned over the years that you create your own luck. Yes the shots had eyes, but they also got infront of Bryz. Not our fault you guys deflected our shots into your net before one of our players got the tip (specifically the Perreault goal).

I'm with Ritari on this one. The Caps set up in a manner that allowed those shots to go in. Bryzgalov wasn't screening himself, and the Flyers didn't shoot the puck at him. Were the Caps lucky that the shots went in? Yes. But it wasn't like a dump in off the boards bounced off a stanchion into the net when Bryz went behind to play it. They were legitimate hockey goals, and while the timing was unfortunate and the Caps certainly shouldn't count on getting three like that every game, a goal is a goal.

Unless it's scored in Pittsburgh. Then it only might be a goal.

Working hard by getting to the net and screening the goalie is lucky these days? Well I'll be damned

Ah cmon ritari, lots of luck involved in the caps win tonight. The caps played well tonight, better than the flyers at least, but there was a good amount of luck involved also.

Gg caps. Til next time.
