10AM starts >>>

 

[Row I Goon]

5am Sunday morning puck drop down under…..ugh!

 

[Captain Lindy]

Caps have lost 6 in a row. They're due for a win but so are we!

 

[will1066]

Expect big time games from Al Iafrate, Peter Bondra and Richard Zednik

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Rangers just do not seem to do well in these midday Sat/Sun games ......

 

[ajdj10]

Would be such a Rangers thing to do losing to a team that is starting to sell.

 

[tomobson]

Must win.

 

[Mac n Gs]

This upcoming schedule is liquefied donkey ass. Kiss my buns NHL

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

This game determines whether we go for Kane or not. If we lose we blow it up and sell

 

[MyLoveIsBlue]

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Really want to see them play a strong game tomorrow. They need to get back on track. I really need Igor to be locked in.

-Captain Obvious

 

[Alluckks]

Perfect storm of shit right now for this team

11 forwards leading to gallant having to do tons of on the fly in game line shuffles, trade deadline/media distractions, in the midst of 3 games in 4 days, can't be carried by the goalies putting up lackluster performances right now

With all that we have still been outperforming the teams we have lost to in recent weeks, just not capitalizing and it looks like the players are getting in their own heads, frustration with just the whole situation.

Get the roster finalized, settle it all down, get the cohesiveness back

10/10 on liquefied donkey ass. Nothing else to say.

Maybe we can get a 2nd and Collberg for Tarasenko.

Today is the day HFNYR will send @EdJovanovski off to HFCHI. We've enjoyed having you here Ed. We've been through many laughters and tears together but it's time to move onto greener pastures.

@EdJovanovski is going nowhere. He’s gonna drop that slob Kravtsov and pledge his allegiance to Adam Sykora.

I met Al Iafrate 2 Summers ago....the man is still ripped and a huge specimen ....and also a great golfer . Hopefully he will be back at our course for the big event once again.....

-Captain Obvious

Defensively we certainly need one....gotta start somewhere with that . Our defense has been rotten Fox included and not just Miller . They all have had a good share in it . The forwards have to do their part in assisting and backchecking with a bit more intent and not just a trio of guys....ALL of them . Defense like toughness must be team wide . We buckle down.....the goaltending will fix itself.

I always think of Iafrate as a Capital but he was on the Leafs for six years. I didn’t realize that.

Nooooo, Sykora seems like such a good kid. Don't put the Ed Curse on him!

 

[leetch99]

I think there was a Johnston issue of sorts .....LOL....not sure if his J or a teammates . Something along those lines . Possibly Leeman ? I kind of forget . On the move: Al Iafrate leaves the Leaf dressing room for the last time: passing Gary Leeman's sweater as he goes

 

[Larrybiv]

We simply need to win this game, come hell or high water, no if's and's nor doubts about it. No excuses and stop this streak NOW.
TOO MUCH freelancing and flying the zone. They got full of themselves scoring like they did.
They've become too relaxed on defense and subpar goaltending hasn't helped. Get it together today, with a nice shellacking.
I'm looking at you Zibby. You like the Caps, remember?

 

[LOFIN]

Zero excuses not to win. A prime time game for me, and the Caps suck ass.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Revenge time for that 4-0 ass whooping
