Too many Samhain parties tonight to watch:

Stop the suck.

Go team.

 

[Random schmoe]

Tonight will be my first game in several years. And truth be told, I'm only going because my wife got free tickets in the suite that her firm has.
Go team go.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Meh. Not expecting much.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Meh. Not expecting much.

Same, the excitement is definitely down compared to a few weeks ago

 

[TJHKY]

2 goals for Ovi. That is all

BTW to the graphics staff, that Capitals vs LA 10/22 image is terribad. Needs a redesign. Looks like Capitals vs 10/22

Drinking game
5 mins without a shot on goal
Dump in with lazy forecheck
90 seconds of watching PP1 diddle themselves
Close in TV shot of Lavi looking like he's going to cry
Carlson with a lazy backcheck
Top line gives up a shot on goal

What else you got?

Eller falls down

The lack of skating by the Caps PP is astounding, especially after watching the Panthers- Bolts game last night.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Is McMichael hurt? Or did the moron decide to play the game without any centres. OH forgot Kuznetsov is back that makes 1 centre.

It is now the most predictable PP in the league.

And why on Earth is Sheary on it? Instead of Mantha - makes no sense at all.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I woke up from my nap for this. Should have stayed sleeping

Dowd is a reliable 4L center

Get the bags of ice and oxygen tanks ready!

And walkers

I'm assuming that this thread will only go live if/when the Caps show a sign of life.

 

[troyerlaw]

Feels like we’re late to every puck

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Does CSNWA hire high school technicians?

 

[HeyMattyB]

Why are the Caps' broadcasts so consistently terrible????

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Why are the Caps' broadcasts so consistently terrible????

Loss of audio feed may be a blessing in disguise. At least I can fall back on the Kings broadcast on ESPN+

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Never thought I’d admit to missing the Kings’ tin foil helmets.

Other benefit of Kings broadcast is no annoying McNuggets minute logo on the screen.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I figured it out gang. When we have no sound, the Cap's play well this season.

2nd oldest team in the league. I went through the game roster and:

Kings have 7 players who are 24 or younger - 4 F and 3 D's.

We have 2 - Ferhervary and Protas.

Imagine the effect that has over 60 mins. The Caps have probably had more possession and better opportunities so far but it's only the 1st. Will be interesting to see how they are by the 3rd.

Bigger problem is imagine the effect at the end of an 82 game regular season.

Managing player fatigue / mileage should be a priority this season. But it's Lavi so not gonna happen.

Not enough honey badger in this group
