GDT: Flyers @ Caps - 9/27/13 @ 7 PM

[SimplySensational]

Next year, when we host the Winter Classic, is our 40th season. Don't think that's a coincidence.

It is, the plan was for the Caps to have it this year.

The lockout season throws it off by a year. I always remember the 30th anniversary patches on the '03-'04 jerseys. We'll see if they commemorate the 40th as embarrassingly as that one.

There are some semantics behind it. This is the 40th Anniversary Year, just not the 40th Season. Someone down the road will make that mistake in an official capacity.

circa 2073
Our inaugural season was in 1973, which makes this our 100th season.

Of course we will probably have sat through 5 or so 1 year long lockouts by then, so they will be used to having to remember those years

Other than Voracek not playing, this is expected to be the Flyers opening night lineup, so I doubt it.

This was said about Boston, and then Lucic and the Wreckers fought.

But will we have won a Stanley Cup by then?

No. And our GM will be George McPhee's head in a pickle jar.

Tom Wilson with a nice move to get get the puck at the blue line, but uhhh why didn't he make a power move to the net...

 

[SimplySensational]

Oleksy getting walked around by Giroux 3 times in one shift.

Absolutely brah. He should spend some time one on one with Johansson working on driving the net.

 

[SimplySensational]

Should of just gave away the puck, he had a penalty shot.

Oates doesn't want to try anything new, instead of trying a left handed shooting defenseman and a left handed shooter in the slot keeps using right handed shots.

 

[Dream Big]

Strachen and Carrick getting power play time.

 

[Dream Big]

Carrick takes an interference penalty.

 

[RandyHolt]

Byers is looking like the first LW callup to me. Dare I say regardless if Oats needs a scorer or checker

 

[SimplySensational]

Karl shoots the puck behind the net of course.

 

[Dream Big]

Beautiful save by Neuvirth.

 

[msrulo]

Dirty flyers...

 

[Capitlols]

Hate Rinaldo.

 

[foundhockey]

Ugh, Rinaldo.

 

[itsjustsurvival]

Karl shoots the puck behind the net of course.

It was the right play. He was deeper in the zone than he wanted to be, better than risking his shot not getting through.

 

[Langway]

He and Strachan are both making strong bids for a spot. I'd probably have Byers over Volpatti at this point, though Byers needs to be signed first.

 

[Dream Big]

Grabovski takes a hit and we are the power play. There is blood so may be 4 minutes?

 

[Calicaps]

major & a game.

 

[Calicaps]

lame PP. WTF?

Especially on a penalty kill you don't want to bounce that off of anyones shin pads and out again.
