I wish we had dmen who could move (and shoot) the puck like Carlson

Edit: Lol Nisky scores.

 

[ColePens]

Yeah **** it.. it's fun. More fun than watching Penguin games.

 

[Sam Spade]

I follow all the Russian players and just noticed Galiev is making his NHL debut for the Capitals. Very good player in Hershey, I guess they have some injuries up front.

 

[Joejosh999]

2-nil Caps!

 

[Shwag33]

Wow trotz is working miracles.... i just watched ovy make a great backcheck and break up a good scoring opportunity.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Meh. The NHL is lame. Kapanen has a goal and an assist!

He looks really good defensively. Not so good offensively.

But it's only natural that the one time I'm rooting for him to score, he can't

shut up

 

[Dacks]

I want a Washington win with no points for OV. Backstrom's already got 2 though. Hopefully this scoreline holds...

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

3-0 now.

 

[Waffle Fries]

shut up

So I probably shouldn't talk about how a 24 year old forward scored a goal off of a beautiful play by a 22 year old forward?

 

[roquay]

3-0 now.

Worst lead in hockey

Did he give a timetable tho? Those 4 years in the league young players

 

[Waffle Fries]

Holtby is playing phenomenal hockey.

 

[YinzAintBurgh*]

Wow.. Ovi on the bench at the end of the game with PP. Seems like him and someone else have swapped.

 

[IcedCapp]

WE DID IT!

Good job boys! Forgot what it felt like to win!

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Ovechkin with a goose egg... I'll take it

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

That couldn't have worked out better for me. Bs lose, which is great for us. OV goes scoreless, taking himself out of the Ross race, which is good for Sid. Holtby gets the SO, which almost guarantees me a win in my pool this year!

 

[Jaded-Fan]

So if we get 1 point vs. the Islanders tomorrow we are in?

 

[systemsgo]

thank you caps.

 

[Waffle Fries]

So if we get 1 point vs. the Islanders tomorrow we are in?

We don't play till Friday. But if one of Boston or the Senators lose in regulation tomorrow, we can clinch with the Isles game (1 point if the Sens lose, we'd still technically need 2 points with the Bruins because if they win in regulation against Tampa, we'd no longer have the tie breaker unless we won one of our last 2)

 

[Dacks]

So if we get 1 point vs. the Islanders tomorrow we are in?

No...

Boston: 95 pts, 2 GR, max 99
Senators: 95 pts, 2 GR, max 99
Detroit: 97 pts, 2 GR, max 101
Islanders: 98 pts, 2 GR, max 102
Pens: 96 pts, 2 GR, max 100

If we get 1 point, we could still end up fifth from that group. 3 points is enough, because we hold the tie-breaker over the Senators. Anything less, and we need help.

Thankfully, we should know beforehand what we need to do. (Not like it helped against the Senators, knowing a regulation win would put us in...)

We don't play the Isles till Friday. Technically at that time we might only need one point to clinch.
