Whether or not this is intentional, it's cracking me the fuck up.

Aaaaand Carlson with the idiotic pass ends any shot in this game. Talbot was great tonight, missed Orpik and Green a lot on the back end. Really hate worrying about our secondary scoring this much.

Aside from some really dumb penalties early on it was a pretty good game. Some real brutal checking going on both sides all game. Once again I think Talbot was our best player. That stop on Backstrom was just..... wow. Big pressure in the third from the Caps but he stood tall.

Feels good at the top = )

Caps look like a dumpster fire. Orpik for MVP, results speak for themselves. Needs more grittership.

Man Boston is in total freefall at the moment. We actually have a playoff race in the East for the last wildcard. Panthers are gaining, and I guess Philly has an outside shot.
I'd probably bet a lot on the teams in 1-7 in the East being the same 1-7 at the end of the year. What order exactly, who know? But I don't see anyone from below 7 moving up into the top 7 unless a pretty big collapse happens. 9 or 10 points is hard to make up in 20-23 games.
NHL Knowledge so stronk.

Sharks are probably going to miss the playoffs. They need an estimated 13 of their next 19 points and all they've got a tough as hell road trip ahead. This is disappointing.

Awww that's cute, pointing out a spot in the schedule when Caps have lost 3 of 4 and the B's have won 5 in a row. Here's hoping we flip that tonight.
You're deflection is epic. Literally the same thing you did and extrapolated over an entire season. Irony, lost without intelligence.

Difference being the sample size. We'll just assume everyone's streaks keep going and the Capitals miss the playoffs by 8 points then while Boston and Ottawa take the wildcards.

Sounds likely.

Marchand being Marchand. It'll be fun to watch him turn down Wilson the rest of the game now.

Too bad Philly couldn't take care of business. No ROW for Ottawa at least. Backstrom passed Pivonka for #1 in assists all time for Capitals.

League GM's recommended 3 on 3 in some format for regular season OT, and limited video review challenges. Supposedly they would only want to allow coaches to challenge a scoring play involving possible goaltender interference or delay of game penalties when deciding whether a puck was shot straight or deflected off something.

Pretty good game tonight Slaythe, felt we got fortunate at the end you guys had a ton of pressure.
