DOA

 

[trangert418]

Has our #1 goalie, the post, even shown up tonight?

 

[BallardEra]

They look ready.

 

[troyerlaw]

These guys are gonna put up 6 on us, aren’t they. Pathetic effort from our guys

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

If I am Florida I am salivating over this first round matchup

 

[ToddBrew]

I like our team.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Man I hate to say it, but I'm hoping Backstrom retires. It's truly painful to say it.

 

[troyerlaw]

I like our team.

Is your team the Islanders

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Caps solve problems.

 

[troyerlaw]

Caps solve problems.

Our deadline deals solved everything

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Look at how Tampa handled Kuch. Let him try to rehab and then agreed surgery was needed and LTIR. Now look at the Caps. Backstrom tried to rehab, clearly didn’t work, refused surgery or LTIR. We then had no space to improve goaltending or the rest of the roster and we are stuck with a corpse at 2C.

He already got surgery over the summer. Were they trying to get him to do more

This does not really get me excited for the playoffs

 

[troyerlaw]

that can’t be offsetting penalties

Did he? If so I apologize but everything I read was that he refused it because he felt like last time it didn’t work.

 

[troyerlaw]

What in the world was Wahlstrom doing

 

[troyerlaw]

We’re gonna play almost half this period with an extra man and lose the period 0-2 or worse. Very cool

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

We look like an expansion team. Holy shit. I am having 05-06 flashbacks.

 

[Corby78]

The off-season can’t get here soon enough

 

[troyerlaw]

Humiliating defeat, again.

Call up copley & fucale. Play AJF & CMM & protas, leason or LuJo. Anything but continuing to send out eller and backstrom and these god-awful goalies and just limping weakly to yet another four- or five-game 1st-rnd exit

 

[Langway]

This is fine.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Gross dudes!

he didn't, that's wrong. He went for a long rehab program in lieu of surgery (I guess it would have been his second and he wasn't happy with the first)

Ahh. Thanks. I stand corrected

Haha
