Post-Game Talk: Caps Rangers 7pm

[racingmoose]

I used to clip the Caps box scores out of the newspaper and put them in an album. This was before the dawn of the internet.

That brings back memories When I was scouting, we'd spend part of our time doing that regularly.

lol, when we got our first computer as a kid, I would take the news paper every day and input all the NHL stats, and kept my own NHL stats for the season. It was actually easier than waiting for ESPN pages to load. I was a complete nerd, glad that didn't last long

It's clear that there are a lot of Caps fans now in the world who waited all of 5, 10, or may 15 years for a Cup. They will simply never understand so probably just best save your breath. (Side note: my Hawaii-raised, non-sports husband cried like a baby that night in Vegas. He'd been part of our family long enough that he knew... Especially because my dad didn't live to see it.)

My wife recently showed me a video she had taken of me after they won the cup, me literally inches from the TV with tears in my eyes

Let's do it all over again!

Completly forgot about it!

7-0-0 homerun w/o Tom Wilson is now reality

Couldn't stop talking about this one. HUGE 3rd digit to the league office for that 'vicious' hit. Get some, Caps!

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Get those points and end the NYR post season hopes tonight! Welcome back Willy!

wrong...doesn’t mean you can’t be honest about a player who has been regressing for years. Doesn’t change the love for 70.

Agreed that his play has regressed since then, but I am still thankful for his play when it mattered.

 

[Corby78]

I will be shadowing Wilson on TV tonight for sure. Very curious what kind of game he plays.

I’m sure at some point I’ll be able to watch the highlights from that run without someone cutting onions in the room but yeah, not any time soon. So lucky for that run and for the last 15 years of Ovi. This is damn near as good as it gets as a sports fan and I am enjoying every moment of it. I don’t think people understand or appreciate how rare it is what we’re getting to experience... this period of sustained excellence and the best goal scorer to ever play still making every game must-see TV even into his mid-30s.

Everyone acting like Holtby vs Grubby who to keep had anything to do with winning the cup in 2018. Dumping Holtby after the cup would have saved us the cap space to keep Bura. Grubby was already the better goalie and thats why Holtby was benched for him. Grubby now looking like a Vezina front runner on a cheap contract. But everyone has a cool poster of Holtby from his last good game...

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Willy’s back!

 

[um]

I’m glad we didn’t give a Caps legend like Holtby the boot after winning the cup, even if it wasn’t the best move in hindsight.

Id prefer to watch the Caps with my favourite players... Can you imagine if somehow Ovechkin was traded in 2017 and we still won the cup in 2018? That Cup win wouldn’t be nearly as epic.

Winning is more fun with your favourite players... Can you imagine if somehow Ovechkin was traded in 2017 and we still won the cup in 2018? That Cup win wouldn’t be nearly as epic.

Did anyone miss Bryce Harper when the Nats won the WS?
But yes Ovie needs to stay a Cap until he retires

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

PP lets

 

[Corby78]

Anyone having issues with the NHL.com app?? It logs me in and then kicks me out

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Kinkaid in net, we should be able to light him up

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

NBC feed keeps going out

So much for Willy being a new clean player LOL

 

[marcel snapshot]

Jensen just schooled LaFreniere

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Tom Wilson gives zero f***s...

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Did the broadcast crew just remember to activate the fake crowd noise? It's way too loud.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Its allowed to punch Wilson in he face OK?

 

[g00n]

Same thing that happens whenever Willy comes off suspension. The other team figures he's marked and just tries to goad him into shit.

 

[CapsGr8]

Let's get that PPG

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Ovi looks like he has a lot of jump again today. Pretty sure he's going to light the lamp soon.
