If Caps get a point its a win! They got 2 the other day so let's not get greedy.

Getting a point is not a win.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Getting a point is not a win.

With this line-up, oh yes it is.

 

[maacoshark]

With this line-up, oh yes it is.

Well technically 1 point means we lost in OT or a shootout.

Ugh. So the Kings will have a better chance at winning this game since Vitek will most definitely give up rebounds for 2nd chance scoring. I realize Vitek played mostly well against the Sabres/Jets, but he got very lucky that both teams were in a slump and both teams missed multiple open nets against Vitek. The Kings are a better team, having beat some good teams lately. They were handled by the Canes 5-1 last night(that score is miss leading as the Kings got screwed by the officiating/NHL on the first two Canes goals), so you can be sure they will show up playing a better game against the Caps tonight.

Vanecek gets what should be an easy game. The Kings don't put up alot of offense.

Sure looks like the local kid is in. What a cool moment for him and his family. And it’s going to be real weird seeing a #91 in Red skating around again.

The Caps are icing seven rookies and down to one of our projected top six forwards. The bottom six is Hagelin and the Hershey Bears. No such thing as an easy game. If they get anything out of this game they’ll have earned it big time.

Some lyrics I think of for times like these.

Don't expect a free ride from no one
Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why
Bitterness keeps you from flying
Always stay humble and kind

Love that song, esp. the version by its writer, Lori McKenna. Worth checking out the rest of her stuff too, for those who like country and/or folk

Works for me. I thought Sgarbossa played better than CMM last game, but club may not want to sit CMM if they feel he is struggling with confidence. Anyway, 23 or 24 at 3C, probably not a huge difference either way.
Protas and hathaway could be formidable forechecking duo

I know Lori. She is a very interesting story.

For sure. Late bloomer, and from Massachusetts (not your usual country music hotbed). What a songwriter, though.

That line doesnt look like its going to get much TOI though.

My best friend in the business is Victoria Shaw and she grew up in Manhattan. Also not a hot bed

She wrote...

You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes

5 minutes for that third line. And yes any point with that lineup will be a win IMO

 

[shtorm2005]

Are Kings depleted by Covid too?

I think it will be a fairly easy game for Vanecek. Because the Kings don't generate alot of scoring chances.
This is also a back to back for the Kings.

 

[Corby78]

Garret Sparks looks like he sells watches out of an old van

 

[Peeri]

Okay, Garret Sparks looks nothing like hockey player, but all power to him

 

[maacoshark]

I know Peterson is out with covid. That's why Sparks is in net.

 

[895]

It's pronounced Snive-ly? Okay.

 

[Drakon]

His hair is gloriously disgusting looking.

 

[maacoshark]

Pretty easy penalty call.

 

[895]

Eller blind pass lmao

 

[Empty Goal Net]

You know the team is hard-up with Hath getting PP time.
