Game Thread: Senators @ Capitals - Battle of the C/Karlsons

[elocomotive]

Elocutioner's Prediction: Caps win 5-2. Due for a breakout of the slump. And the Curse of the Doobster ends.

The Elocutionr is at the game tonight. Birthday yesterday, snow day today, and at the Caps game. Life is good!

Refs trying to give this one to the Caps. How did that ref miss the high stick on Turris?

Oh, is tipping the refs discouraged?

I honestly don't think it would matter ELO. They'd somehow fuck it up. NHL refs are the worst in all of pro sports.

They are generally just bad but for the last 3 years or so they seem to enjoy fucking the Sens. These guys are not robots. I'm betting some Senator said something particularly bad at some point. It is what it is.

Turris makes it 1-0 good guys.

Anderson playing out of his mind tonight.

Caps played a great 2nd. Next goal wins.

 

[hokiehi21]

I cant believe im sayin this but a 1-0 deficit feels insurmountable for the Caps these days. Prolly gonna need a lucky break/bounce to tie it up.

 

[hokiehi21]

Spezza's PPG is the dagger.

 

[hokiehi21]

How many losses is that in a row now? I try to forget

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Nice snipe by Spezza!!! 2-0 Sens.

Holtby should probably stop that though

 

[KennyBanyeah]

LOL. I love Grabovski. That guy cares.

 

[elocomotive]

Holtby has played a great game. He's not the problem tonight.

 

[hokiehi21]

Ottawa is a team that seems to always have the Caps number. 6-0-0 the last two years.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

What the hell happened to Mike Green?

 

[KennyBanyeah]

That guy used to be so good now he just seems to sleepwalk his way around out there.
