Crush them. Make them suffer.
(Please bench Jensen)
Please put strome back on the first line🙏🙏🙏
What a goal by Ryan Leonard. I am hyped to see him playing with Wilson in the future
Someone just broke the glass on the metro headed to the game. Wild start to tonight boys.
Damn I didn’t recognize Orly with longer hair!
YAY! JOE B and LOCK!! Feels like an eternity!
I was at the last canes caps game in Raleigh. I was so hammered I got lost and sat in the wrong seat for two periods away from my friends. I’m pretty stoked to be nice and sober watching from home today, as lame as that may sound lol.
Let’s go Caps!!! Priority 1 🏒🥅 Pucks in the net!
Can’t find the game anywhere. Anybody got a link?
Please score goals tonight
Does anyone else have problems with MSN glitching?
Miss you Dima! Just hope you’re unhappy by the end of the game tonight!
caps score!!
🚨🚨DOWDER🚨🚨
Dowder! goalllllll!
NICE DOWD!!! wtf that was slick
#LFG BOIS IM READY TO RIP
#I LOVE IT DOWD
Love me some Dowd
NAKs been impressing me lately
Aube always hustles, love his game
If I extrapolate from here, given our average shots per game, we are on pace for a 14 goal game.
Ya boi is drinking choccy vanilla stout beer. Hell yeah
That was a beautiful goal, Dowd, dang.
Huge hustle by NAK to keep that from icing
I’m not kidding. If your 4th line is outscoring all other lines why are they the 4th line
Capitals hockey.
Another failed clear by Jensen.
orlov tribute
Little Orlov tribute during the break ❤️
What! That’s a penalty?
We miss you Dima.
Nice video for Dima. I miss the guy
This is class. Miss Orlov!
Love you, Orlov. I hope you lose, but its great to see ya.
I’m not crying, you’re crying
Orlov montage broke my heart right in the feels. By far my personal fave defender in my lifetime.
shit we almost had a haglin own goal moment with that pass
Damn remember that time Ovi fucking dropped svechnikov
-tunes in-
Woo!
Wow that was really bad for a second
That was not it McMichael
I feel like we waste more time than any other team. We got 4v4? Nah, we’ll just wait for our PP. Oh, it’s our turn for the PP? Nah, we won’t get into the ozone and pressure. I guess the latter example is the inability to enter the zone, but it just seems silly.
Wooo juniors!
Good shit, DK.
