Got my Jack-n-coke, some tortilla chips, and I am ready to see OV light it up again.

I can't wait to see what they do with this.
Slapshot 2 was pretty brutal though.
Hopefully they do a better job with this project.
I actually had the honor of skating with the Hanson brothers in a benefit game.
Those guys are a riot!

Looks Laich Like is getting some more scoring chances 2nite

these lines look pretty solid

I'm got a feeling Flash and Fehr will do something spectacular tonight. I sure hope so.

Capt_Kirk_in_AZ:
You poor thing! LOL!! At least this is a forgiving and supportive crowd ... ;-)

mauree:
Did Tiberius often watch replays of chariot races thinking that they were live?

mauree:
good - a new post
i'm off to get a beer - i'll drink one for you too - if you don't mind.

repost to JSchon:
impress me with your clairvoyance
lets hear some of the highlights of the first period. and you can't go with green scores on the PP, semin has a weak hooking penalty or theo lets in a soft one. haha

optionality?

You Americans and your made up words. Why can't you just respect the language we gave you?

TheGr8one,
Don't let Boo bully you. Seriously, if she smells a weakness, she is like a great white, you won't stand a chance. You think she's all sweetness and light but I know differently! :)

And there's only one Baby Faced Assasin and he's Norwegian.

COME ON YOU WHITES!

Boo:
if i create a new profile i can forget all about this. of course my memory isn't so good now and i probably won't remember this tomorrow anyway :)

@Boo

I'm sure Capt_Kirk can tell you what Tiberius is :D (or he shouldn't carry that name)

Whew - they're movin'!

Brash is ready for a fight, and I think he found his man haha

that was good

mike is a green.

Greenie™ !!!

Get in, the Mohawked Assasin!

That's what I'm talkin about Micky G!

JSchon:
greenie with the PP!!!
lets hope semin and theo don't come true

that was one ugly powerplay and one pretty goal

Kirk:
Don't change your screen name - we need to know that it's you the next time you do it! ;-)

Dave:
I don't know what you're talking about.

TheGr8one:
I don't know what Dave's talking about.

mauree:
Are you a Treky? (So you're not rollin' with my Roman Empire humor, huh? Being Italian I thought you would be with me!)

WOOO HOOO!!! GO CAPS!!!!!

thats it NJ keep putting that PP out there...thats it....hehe

it was hard to get it setup, but once we did we netted it fairly quick.

let's see how this second one develops.

Sid the son of a Goat...

Thats his new name...

hooking on langz.

lol...

with the quickness.

all right! What a pass by OVI

was that too easy?

mauree:
warp 5 - Sulu

Too easy!

woohoo what a nice pass by green to ovie to laich!!!

HOLY COW!!! Time for a Caps heat check...

Lovin' these lines, great to see Nil-pointer on the third again.

Tic tac toe, eh? Hopefully our PK is better than theirs!

What a great pair of goals -- wow. Come on Caps, keep the pressure on!

good penalty michael

just like ottawa 2for2 let's put up another 7 spot

obligatory freebie penalty to us.

next CAPS goal = BOO BIRDS!!!

Didn't expect such a nice start, let's go Caps!

@Boo
I'll admit it, huge fan of the original Trek. Tiberius was Kirk's middle name *pushes up his geeky glasses*.

Boo:
i was hoping mauree wasn't thinking i was around during the roman empire!
and no i won't hide with another profile - i'll take my lumps in public like everybody else

if you looked up "sick" in the dictionary, you'd find Mike Green.
true story.

@mauree

You had Greenie trademarked?

thats great

theo lookin sharp...

Great PK!

Even a great PK! Seems like the Caps want to make a statement

See Jersey, THAT'S how you kill penalties.

We'll get you back to Newark...

That just sounds horrible...

We'll get you back to Bogota!

is anyone else annoyed with the sound on versus? It sounds like they are at a bowling alley

abuddy2004:
that's just the 'ghost' of lockers voice your hearing :)

that was a good no call

whew, thanks for the offsides there...

Green def should be #1 pick for Norris. he's ahead of all D men by 2 pts right now. he's a +20. only has 38 games, most of the leading D men have at least 45+ games. he leads all D men with goals as well as points. Norris nominee for sure

Jose's lookin' GOOD!

Need to finish this period 2-0 and no worse.

I know NJ are less defensive than previous years but any hopes they had of getting an early lead and killing the game has gone out the window now. They have to come onto us now and that only suits us.

Sick start. Green is on fire, Semin with the Backstrom like across both D saucer...that faceoff play on Laich's goal was superb. Theo looks sharp so far not much anything dangerous his way yet but he looks on his game.

Parise is up for the challenge tonight.

Jump?

JT does look really good tonight. Night and day from the beginning of the year

I must admit its a nice departure to hear Joe B talking hockey with his color guy without the shenanigans that locker brings. Dont get me wrong, I like locker but its nice to get the break too. Even if the color guy sucks alot.

Hello NJ, the Eighties are on the phone, they want to know if they can have their music back?

Mike Green = other teams NIGHTMARE!!

oh fehr

Two posts!

Holy moly that was a fast period!

oooh boo birds are early...

Hope those two posts don't come back to haunt the Caps

there are the birds, haha

didnt NJ just win like 7 straight, and you boo after 1 period, i mean, the caps are pretty good arent they?

Nice solid period by the boys!

Wow Greenie and Fehr off the iron. I kinda like Nylander skating with Flash and Fehr, as they both seem to create more chances moving off the puck. All 3 scoring lines have looked dangerous so far. Good to see Laich get out of his mini-slump. Step on the gas and put this game away in the 2nd.

Dave:
Although Jump does kinda make me think of Jersey ... and my youth.

Feeling Ovi's 200th.

Good first 20 lads, but plenty of work left to do.

Ok, I'm off to bed folks. I'm leaving you lot in charge, if I wake up to find we lost this one, I will hold all of you personally responsible.

Showing your age Boo!

i forget who said it earlier today - Ovi tends to shatter the records, so I'm feeling number 200, and 201 at least.

I like BE's breakdown of the Caps' faceoffs ... that's cool! :-D

C'mon boys. Play like you are 3 goals down. Stay hungry.

Dave:
Showing my age? To the tune of decade or so ...

Oops - Dave has left the building.

Update:

Is anyone more excited than me about the beginning of the stretch run?

Looking Ahead: Really really Good News UPDATE!!!

The last 21 games of the season the Caps schedule includes:

13 games against division foe
4 against Atlanta
3 against Tampa
3 against Florida
3 against carolina (2 at home)

2 games against the Maple Leafs

1 against the Bruins (A)
1 against the Penguins (H)
1 against the Flyers (A)
1 against the Predators (A)
1 against the Sabers (H)
1 against the Islanders (A)

Looking good for the stretch run! All we need is a veteran puck moving defensman.

cool

DaveUK...do not hate on Jump. Any old Van Halen is good music. 80's were the golden age it's why they still play all the great hits at all sporting events...that and always U2 songs for the little video diaries on tv...

Jump was the anthem back in my skydiving days...we had even made our own video to it.

Guess I'm dating myself, as well (he says as he scratches his gray goatee).

USDave:
Please ... don't let UKDave fool you - he was around in the 80s. The decade and it's music holds a special place in his lil' heart. He may deny it, but it's true!

All right!

nyls .

nyls

YES!

About time, Nyls!

relentless.

phew way to go nyls

Even Nyls gets a goal -- WOW

That is all Gordon baby! what a work horse, never gives up

gordon and fehr.

Nice to see Nyls get one...great work by Gordo!

Nice replay on Brash leveling Rolston -- sweet

Brash vs. Clarkson....I want to say Clarkson's been in more fights this year. But I'd still put money down on Brash.

Kozlov hasnt been out there since he went down awkardly into the boards with about 2 minutes to go in the first period

man clarkson wanted a taste from the donald and trust me donald did him a favor by not fighting then

Anyone see Kozlov out there recently? Lines are all screwed up.

havent been reading alot of posts lately but whats the story on this over 30's "Jump" thing? What did i miss?

From a message board I post on regarding nyls goal:

"regular shot that clemmer juggled. this game should realistically still be 0-0, but you can't get the bounces every game, so it's 3-0 instead"

wut.

What a SAVE

new thread - koz out

Another awesome SAVE, but someone get on Parise

@SA-Town

I noticed, lines are all scrambled. I thought BB was just feelin his oats?

A devils message board? haha

oh good, a chance for the PK!

other than the goal this has been an ugly quarter for the boys

Looks like Bruce is getting all the mileage he can get out of that paisley tie.

Oh no!

oh good...5on2

no, its a general message board. There's fans from all teams, but yes, that would be from a devils fan. haha

Can't complain about that Stecks

what happens when you take bad penalties.

or 3...anyway NEW THREAD!!! KOZLOV OUT!!!

lets just kill the rest of this one please.

This color announcer (I realize is a NJ one) but come one...he is talking about "our boys" and "us"...come on. If Joe B is doing that, forgive me.

91-92-8 out there.

hm.

I dont know if this has been talked about yet, but has anyone notice that Johnson is NOT dressed. It's Neuvrith backing theo up tonight...

Ovie with the hustle...don't worry though "no one cares about winning more than Crosby". I laugh every time I hear that.

Johnny has an "undisclosed". Probably hip.

One bad penalty keeps it a game. Get the next goal early in 3rd and ice it.

clamp it down.

pathetic

gotta seal it with this PP.

that was the worst pp ever to score a goal

nylander is hot right now.
