An Hour to Go

First! GO CAPS

allez les caps !!! allez cristo!!!

why is a groin muscle still keeping clark out Tarik?

20 years ago Caps won our first playoff series..10 years ago Caps made it to the finals..This could really be magic this year!

Flyers are giving out raw meat at the door.

They are drinking the blood of calves as they head inside. I think they are going to slaughter a pig at the end of the 2nd.

I have butterflies...have to watch this one at home where I can pace, yell, and throw stuff at the TV.

Gotta love the ongoing Clark questions - we are good for one per blog posting at least!

@anonymous 6:18 - That made my wife shudder. Guess I should not read comments aloud while we're eating dinner....

Should be a good game!

We have to be happy with what they've accomplished so far, but it would be disappointing if their post season were to end tonight. I have a feeling it won't. If they play their game, they can take anybody. Alex "Don't Stop Me Now" Ovechkin will get it in the net tonight. Go Cap's!

First goal is HUGE.

Let's go Flyers.

@ Jill

just to get the rest out of the way early:

1. Kolzig should start today
2. GMGM should be fired
3. Kozlov plays soft
4. Is Pothier's career over
5. Didn't I see Nylander skating at practice?

LETS GO CAPS !!

Wit onions & cheese whiz or without!

Normal Monday hockey night giveaways for the Flyers then huh!

I stopped by the store and got the same food i ate right before the game Sat. Chicken Caesar Salad with a cracked pepper corn creamy Caesar dressing. But when I went to get dessert, Harris Teeter didn't have any yellow cake with choc. icing. This may complicate things.

I was just kidding -- before the attacks begin.

The yellow cake is what caused the game to be close. Things will be fine.

It's not a groin muscle. It's a groin tendon. It's just not getting a whole lot better and surgery won't help. Clark told me yesterday that he plans on visiting the specialist that helped Brian Sutherby a few years ago when the season ends.

The cro-magnons outlasted the neanderthals. Hence the caps can beat the phylers.

so that's why I heard the term "yellow cake" to describe the penalty called on Federov in the corner to give philly a 5-3....it's all getting much clearer. cease the hunt for immediately.

@Pivonka

6. The ice sucks at VC.
7. Caps fan did NOT cheer at Thoresen injury
8. Oneal: "Bryzgalov!!! What happened!!" (hehe jk man)

T-minus 30 mins.

capsfandan--Capitals won their first playoff series in 1984...24 years ago. Sorry to mess up your story!

Nylander did not skate this morning. Don't know where you got your sources from.

Let's Do this!!! GO CAPS!!!!

@ Tarik Bescentz

I'm about 10,000 miles from Philly or Kettler. I did not see anybody do anything at any practice. Just beating the dead horse of blog topics whilst I hyperventilate till the puck drops.

Thanks Tarik,
I take the good time and trouble to read through ever last post on the previous thread, add my post, then find you have started a new thread!!

Reposted:

Boo,
Glad to hear your Manc friends still have their accents, can you even understand them??

Mauree,
Shame about no reflector tonight. Lets hope that can be sorted for Game 7!!

ON MY COMMAND......UNLEASH HELL!!

ahhhh!!! Trying not to panic/hyperventilate/die...

The boys can pull this off! As my good friend pointed out today, tell the Caps that their backs are against the wall and they'll have the shirt off your back, your wallet, your girlfriend, and the game before you realize the ref had dropped the puck.

Let's go Caps!!!!!

Hunter Overtime goal winner vs Flyers was reported as the first series win by Joe B. 20 years ago.

Leeguru:
Thanks for the tip about the yellow cake ... good thing I am not much of a dessert person! ;-)

oo7:
Loved the story about your daughter ... too cute!! :-D So, you get 'em hooked on hockey before they are even off the bottle, huh?!? ;-) That's pretty funny.

Dave:
Sure I can understand them! Although we did have a pretty funny misunderstanding this weekend ... long story (darn accents!! ;-))

30 minutes until the puck drops!!! LET'S GO CAPS!!

If he said it, he was wrong.

Man, what a pathetic history the Caps have had. Now I understand why the Caps have no real fans.

And you posted no name....

Who knew the playoffs would turn into a game of Where Are They Now?

Who knew Gary Roberts is alive and well and playing on the fourth line for the Pittsburgh Penguins? Who knew Sergei Fedorov was centering Alexander Ovechkin?

The 38-year-old Fedorov made a cameo with the Ducks in 2003-04 before going into hiding with Columbus. He resurfaced this season with the Capitols, where he is the Keith Richards to Ovechkin's Johnny Depp in the NHL's version of Pirates of the Caribbean.

@ 6:41 Anonymous

You dont have to win to have real fans (see Cubs, Red Sox).

If you're a Flyer or Ranger fan, you have ONE MORE cup than we do.

I'm in awe of your legacy. Next time, tell us who you are. Better yet, go back to putting primer on your Nova.

Позвольте нам делать это

Go Caps!

Flyers fans are dummies! (See the sign?)

Amen, Alex! It will happen!

Let's go Caps!!!

Less than 10 minutes!!!

does anybody know what channel the game is on. i know it got bumped from vs, and was supposed to be on comcast, but the wizards game is on. anybody know. i know there was conversation about it before

its on CSN

Remember: breathe in, breathe out. Repeat continuously.

Beer? Check.
#8 home jersey? On.
Paper bag to cure hyperventilating? Got it.
Defibrillator?
Defib?

Darn, where did I leave the defib?

Mauree,
That Mogulus link works fine - cheers mate!

I take it there's nothing illegal about this?? :)

thanks a lot, crisis aborted. see what happens when i don't pay enough attention

@Dave

it's not my fault man he's streaming the Habs game. But you tried SopCast/TVU before right? The below are not bad, especially TVU.

I repost the SopCast link here:

sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/39461

TVU: tvu://67451/

Mediaplayer: http://www.mogulus.com/sgtv1

I'm trying to watch on Modulus. Does anyone know how to turn off the chat portion?

@Dave

For sure it's not illegal to watch.

To stream, well I'm not sure, but that's not our problem :D

Moose, I wish i knew. bunch o morons...

Let's go CAPS!!!

Can anyone tell me the last time that the city of Philly won a championship in any major sport?

yeah, it's distracting

If wearing orange .......hit it

Ref you SUCK!

Golly Darn.

crap

Ok we are official at Def Con "Backs Against Walls"

Screw watching that choppy feed

i don't like this at all....

Caps need to get a little bit more jump and physical.

Puck is bouncing to the Flyers though. Caps are making some poor decisions.

Emmy is not looking so good out there

terrible call on that penalty, bradley didnt even touch him with the elbow

Tarik called this one right...

man that streaming feed sucks tonight...why couldnt the Candiens just won!!!

Don't panic yet. We are out-shooting them and they scored on a PP - big whoop. We can still do this ...

The dungeen is quiet ... calm before the Cappies storm!!

Feed seems better now - obviously would be even better if the Caps could score.

Needed to start harder and faster than this....

Caps PP!

Was that Green or Langway?

Ovechkin isn't playing like an MVP.

wow Koz...20 playoff games...0 goals

Fudge ... Leeguru - can you please put candles around your Ovie bobblehead and create a little shrine so that you can pray to the hockey gods?!? Apparently we need a little help ...

awesome hit by green turning over that flyer loser

Boo! I'd build a temple if it would make a difference.

another PP, they have to get some shots on this one

PP seems a little discombobulated.

Bugger

Leeguru:
But would you build a dungeen?!? I bet Steve would!! ;-)

Boo! He's watching the game in his Dungeen!

"cooke likes to bang guys"
please joe, think before you speak

biron is on tonight......

Well would have expected them to come out and try and blow us away in the first. Only a one goal deficit. This is a long ways from over kids.

My Ovie bobblehead is nodding that he is going to score! I have faith and I believe!

It was a dive, but definitely a justified call. Let's not lose our cool. Fedorov embellished a little too.

Still kinda pissed about the bounce they got off the boards. I expect some equal bounce action in the second.

before the retaliation, how many times did semin need to get hit in the face before a penalty would be called? i'm guessing infinity

can we cool it on the ref talk? you make your own breaks...gotta win on the ice...

Leeguru:
Your bobblehead sounds like a magic 8 ball ... and Steve's dungeen sounds scary!! ;-)

Well, boys and girls, we're still in this one. SOG are equal and the only goal was on a PP. If we can stay out of the box (and entice them in!), we'll be good to go. I plan to be at the VC tomorrow!!

Speaking of, more seats were released to Ticketmaster for tomorrow night's game - ROCK THE RED, MY FRIENDS - ROCK TO RED!!!!!!!!

I dont feel like the caps are settled on passes, and rebounds are all going away.

They are clogging the nuetral pretty well too.

We need to settle down. Being down 1-0 is not bad though.

nice diving leap by Brads to avoid the goalie interference call... I'm concerned with what I'm seeing, but I'm still hoping and cheering...
I've got a stress dog in one hand and a bucket in the other... I'm hoping the nausea and headache is just me freaking out and not the flu

Should i be worried if the feed on Modulus is not showing anything except colored bars?

Geezzz, this Beninatti, and Craig Laughlin are working on my last nerve with their constant, NEVER STOP chatter. I mean, they,ve become VERY, VERY ANNOYING with it. Somebody needs to tell them to, "Shut up every once in a while." The drama of the game itself is more than compelling. But, with this never - ending conversation, they are detracting from the overall theatre of the moment. Joe and Craig, "Sometimes "LESS IS BETTER." A damn sight better.

moose, me too...and yeah we should be worried....

the chat room on there is vile

hey Puckguru, mute it if they offend your poor sensitive, pessimistic ears. They're a heck of a lot better than the NBC guys...

chris larry, I'm hoping its just for the intermission. The one good thing is the chat disappeared as well.

Puckguru,

Have you tried the "mute" button?

chris larry: cool it on the ref talk? wtf is wrong with you

Back off giving Puckguru a hard time! If his only complaint is Joe B and Locker, let him go for it!

Lee,

I'm just sayin. There's a button that will make them go away.

@anon just not a fan of complaining about the refs...there bad for everybody....sounds petty to me....you got to out play them to win...but whateves

Leeguru, lol. I'm sure he'll start on something. I guess if he's complaining about them though, he's not trying to fire GMGM.

I think I just entered the Twilight Zone - Leeguru actually defended Puckguru!! What's going on here?!? I'm frightened ... :-(

no one clearing the crease come on boys

Aaannd they scored again ... stoopid flyers.

new thread

Stay outta the box, stay outta the box, stay outta the box ...

Shoot the puck, shoot the puck, shoot the puck ...

FUDGE!!!

new thread

that would be the 4th time,tarik. no problem
