[Calicaps]

I’m bypassing beer tonight and going straight to Knob Creek 12 year.

I'm curious as to which game plans don't involve scoring when you get A+ chances.

So you missed the Hunter and Oates coaching seasons, eh?

 

[AZ Caps Fan]

Aw, you nasty rascals.

Go Caps!

You're doing a great job.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Back in December, I got tix to a concert tonight on the assumption that the team would not be playing meaningful games now. I'll be stealing looks at the phone to at least track the score.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Seems like a perfect time to poop our pants.

Will that help the caps win? If so, count me in.

Think I'm in the CaliCamp but I'm far more petty. I just can't drink anything named 'Knob Creek'. I envision a remote Kentucky stream with a bunch of hillbillies urinating in it. Too American.

The irish do it best and with names like Red Breast, Bushmills and I will never pass up a Tully 12yr....I think it's better than the over-rated Midleton.

That said, going Greek tonight: Aged Tsipouro

The Jamison 18 is fantastic. Can never find it in Va but readily available in DC and Md.

Losing to a team with nothing to play for when the season is on the line seems like a Caps thing to do so prove me wrong Caps.

The ones with CMM on the ice

Straight to opioids for me tonight… it’s the only way the Caps can’t make me feel pain.

(Just kidding, drugs are bad. Well, most of them. And definitely opioids. The Devils Lettuce is A-ok tho.)

 

[Calicaps]

I get that Jimi's line has been very effective and so coaches might not want to break them up. But McMike has been pretty useless. I think Jimi has earned the shot at 1C.

 

[tycoonheart]

Kids have been quiet for the last few games. CMM and Lappy with goals tonight.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Treat every team with respect and play hard.

 

[twabby]

I'm treating this game with the respect it deserves: another meadowfoam traditional mead for me tonight! Wow how lucky am I!

 

[Misery74]

Do over against Buffalo. Let’s take advantage.

 

[Langway]

No points for Wilson since returning from suspension. They could use...something tonight.

They ran it at times during that stretch where they just couldn't lose. I learned this while looking to see what their non-Wilson lines looked like and Lapierre and Ovechkin... work.

I would much prefer the Ovechkin-Lapierre-Protas/Miro thing they were doing than putting CMM there, and I like CMM, he just needs to be a little lower down the deployment charts and preferably with Oshie (whom I think he works well with in my purely observational opinion)

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Not much intensity from the Caps.

 

[HTFN]

NAK goes through such weird peaks and valleys, when he's doing things and feeling it he's like the most talented 4th line player in the league and borderline perfect since he's still physical and a little nasty, other times he's such a dipshit in play and decision making overall.

Today, to be fair, he's channeling more of the good so far. His reads have been great and that deflection there was very close to being nasty.

 

[Langway]

Couple good passes from Wilson so far.

 

[HTFN]

Not much intensity from the Caps.

by design.

if this is a boxing match it's two people trying not to get knocked out while scoring points. We'll see if nobody's really swinging for it by the end of the 2nd but for now it's right what you'd want to see as a gameplan for a team who can't afford to lose, and I expect the Caps to open up if they a.) go behind or b.) sense vulnerability and are able to really turn the screws.

last thing you want, though, is to put up 15 minutes of relentless pressure and then give up a late period goal.
