Hoping for a bit better performance tonight. Please.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Hoping for a Miller-Pettersson fight.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Nucks are in a huge slump and may trade everyone. We better show up tonight.

the slump continues until line 1 and line 2 are restored to their former glory

 

[Coffee]

news from the other side

Pettersson and Demko game time decisions.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Expecting a loss; hoping for a win.

 

[Midnight Judges]

I flat out do not understand why Carbery hasn't returned to the top line that was one of the best lines in the NHL for the first 18 games.

 

[Pigskin]

our "slump" seems worse than it is due to the crap teams we have been dropping points against

we've also been fortunate with other results of late, allowing us to maintain our lofty ranking


Canucks are going bad atm ... 5-2 Caps

I don't get it either. It's baffling.

In the shootout? Me too. Can only get better.

 

[Fred22406Capsfan]

In the shootout? Me too. Can only get better.

Shootout's a four letter word now. I'm thinking turnovers and puck handling in general. Gaining zone entry. Not much good from the other night. Move forward and get two points.

So you're saying there won't be a shoot out tonight?

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Nucks pregame show giving the Caps some love

Man I sure hope not. That's been bush league bad!

 

[Cappy76]

Looks like the preovie injury lines are showing up tonight

21-17-8
24-80-43

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

No Demko and no EP for the Canucks. Have to take advantage of that

I'd like to think that Carbery read our posts

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I'd like to think that Carbery read our posts

Or maybe he’s like an actual good coach

Canucks commentary on Ovechkin talking about the NHL rule on the curve on the stick

Does anyone actually know what this rule is? I like a big one

 

[RedRocking]

Why does Locker say “the so called 3rd line”?

He uses so many strange, unnecessary phrases. Like when there’s a penalty, the guy is “none too pleased”, a phrase I’ve never heard another human use.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Good on Mikey…..Sherwood is a giant pain in the ass to play.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

CMM not a kid anymore

Love it the entire line in the box

 

[Carlzner]

Not sure if CSN showed it but Sportsnet showed an angle of Hughes with an embarrassing flop as Dubois gives him a slight shove heading to the box at the end of everything

Hope they go after him all night

 

[Neil Racki]

How does their guy not get the equalizer for starting shit well after the whistle?

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Four minute penalty kill don’t care let’s do this and f*** those guys
