GDT: G3 Caps - FLA 1pm

[g00n]

Caps Derby Day results in the Ovie era:

2008 - eliminated before Derby
2009 - Won vs Pens
2010 - eliminated before Derby
2011 - eliminated before Derby
2012 - Win vs NYR
2013 - Win vs NYR
2014 - DNQ for playoffs
2015 - Loss to NYR
2016 - Won vs Pens
2017 - Won vs Pens
2018 - Won vs Pens
2019 - eliminated before Derby
2020 - eliminated before Derby
2021 - Loss to Pens (reg season)

So I guess the bad vibes are recent. Or the fact that the game would always start late on NBC due to Derby glom.

We have the advantage of the last change so that's why I think McJesus will start on the same line as Sheary.

2 bloodys deep already LETS GOOOOOOO

Worst first bloody story. Hungover went to Starboard at Dewey Beach and got 90% vodka in a cup at 9am. Found hotsauce called Whore From Hell which was my speed. It was like black tar and largely stayed stuck on the bottom of the cup. I sucked up a mouthfull using a straw and am still traumatized to this day.

Mickey!

Saw a report that Wilson's injury is worse than they are leading on

are to share this "report"? I personally thought it was a sprain/twisted ankle. But since he still isn't playing then I'm going with a "high ankle sprain" which would not be good at all. They take forever to heal.

Let's go

They've been calling it upper body injury no?

no. all reports were lower body

what time is actual puck drop? I'm guessing no earlier than 1:15

 

[BigWilly43]

Our goose may be cooked. Our best hope is Florida is young and irresponsible = hungover.

Caps 2-1 dammit

lol no one is going out drinking during the playoffs.... at leas not in the last 10yrs. Come on now.

It is his knee

They are putting Huberdeau and Barkov together.

Why do the new forums suck so bad on mobile?

LOL indeed. They may do much worse.

 

[RandyHolt]

It is his knee

Odd way to get a knee injury? I may have missed a few replays but he seemed to go full speed straight into the boards. Maybe the skate turned and twisted the knee but I will theorize it may be bruised via a direct shot. I know bone bruises hurt like H E double hockey sticks.

 

[tycoonheart]

Skins lost Super Bowl 18 to the Raiders coz half the roster was hungover. So it can happen.

Lol…..ahh to be young again!

as for the game, let’s hope for Dr Jeckyll and not Mr Hyde in goal……..oh and score early and often Caps…5-3 good guys.

 

[um]

Really hope Leason is out. Eight minutes isn't going to cut it and his play shouldn't have earned a second game. His size can be helpful but they have two better options. Use them. And put Hathaway back with Dowd.

He’s a big dude but it doesn’t seem like he uses it much. Protas could at least protect and hold on to the puck with his size.

It's not so bad once they make the thread go live.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Win this for Willy FFS! I almost missed the start due to a nap lol.

Seems to be severely lacking in offensive skillset to me…..

 

[um]

Thank for Sheary is off the first line. At no point this season did that line work.

I don’t know what Lavy was thinking.

 

[Dibbs31]

Puck about to drop

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Win this for Willy FFS! I almost missed the start due to a nap lol.

Get up West Coast hippies!

 

[RandyHolt]

They've been calling it upper body injury no?

I am the only one to theorize it was upper. I missed him running into the boards and only saw them working on his nose near the eye when I found the game was on, and thought maybe his vision was f***ed from that high stick.

 

[RedRocking]

Well hope we get Sammy from that 3rd period - he looked focused, moving from post to post with purpose, and getting down and up from the butterfly quickly (for him). Obviously helped there was no pressure.

He was really good in his first playoff start last year (except for the OT gaffe). Maybe he’ll be able to raise his game. Stranger things have happened.

Let’s go team or whatever! Do the thing where you score the thing!
