4th game in 6 days with the Pens on tap tomorrow? San Jose just starting a road trip having played only twice in the past week? Sharks have won 16 of the last 17 vs the Caps?

All the makings of a debacle! Which of course means it could go either way. Everything for the Caps seems to hinge on the power play and whether or not Super Goalie shows up, so....

Head: 4-2 SJ
Heart: 3-2 Caps

 

[Capitlols]

1) Carrick should not be up here
2) Latta is much better than Beagle
3) Even Crosby couldn't carry Laich and Brouwer

 

[BiPolar Caps]

We're gonna need a bigger boat!

I have a bad feeling that Holtby is starting against Penguins tomorrow.

I guess having the best goalie start does hurt the tank.

Is Graubauer the best goalie on this team right now? Is he probably the starting goalie for the foreseeable future?

Holtby is / no one knows.

I have a bad feeling period

Probably, and yes. If Holtby were playing well, he'd start, but for now they're rolling with Grubs -- probably as long as he can keep up current level of play.

Of course, but its not looking good...

Incoming beatdown.

 

[SimplySensational]

I was optimistic, then I realised Backstrom is our shutdown center going against Thornton and Burns.

This games going to be a ****ing disaster.

I know right. Ovechkin should be out shutting those guys down. #Ovechkinforselke

Backstrom stands around in the slot doing nothing. Burns and Thornton are huge and cycle the puck below the net.

 

[foundhockey]

I hope our boys win. I'd like to see Holtby back in net sooner rather than later.

[foundhockey]

I hope Laich and Brouwer make some strides tonight with Nick.

 

[SimplySensational]

Remind me where Backstrom is in this situation. Oh right, he was actually closer than Ovechkin to Stepan.

 

[PRicci09]

nice start

 

[SimplySensational]

Its not a nice start, its a great start. Not a single scoring chance by the Sharks yet.

 

[foundhockey]

Looking good so far.

 

[ryan519*]

at least since we're expecting a beatdown we shouldnt be disappointed, right?
