Mek with the best get Fekked like the rest!

*No Kap, Capping the Capitols to Cap his goal total to 100. Thus, no Kap Cap at the Hockey Lodge but we win!*
Wish we played everyone like we play eastern conference teams. That was a beauty.
Always love the Caps broadcast, lot of praise for the other team from them.
Now do the same thing next Tuesday, pretty please.
FUCKING EVERYONE GET ON, GUS BUS LEAVING THE STATION!
I like the Minnesota Wild.
They are my favorite hockey team.
When they win, I think to myself, **’yes’**.
When they lose, I think to myself ‘no’.
Holy fuckin moly the Gus Bus is real jesus christ I don’t even
Everyone who said that Greenway and Foligno were “disposable”: look no further than this game to see the error of your ways. GREEF line just shut down one of the best scoring teams, and kept THE best scorer in the league to no goals.
Gus for Vezina? I think yes
Caps broadcasters criticized us for having a weak schedule just before the game, guess they can go eat crow now. 🤡
rough start turned into a solid win!
love to see all our goals scored by our 3 best defensive players, a great game from gus, and winning after getting scored on first
I LOVE HOCKEE
Caps fan coming in peace, yall outplayed us and was definitely a fun game to watch, but can we talk about that save off the skate? That could be save of the year!! GG bois, hope you keep winning (of course not against us)
Gus is the real deal. I’ve been hesitant to say so but there is something about this team and making decent goalies look great.. also captain Spurg is playing phenomenal for the last like 10 games. LFGW
Edit: also the boys have been winning without much production from the 1st line.. DEPTH
2 or fewer goals against for Gus now in I believe 10 of the last 12? Gotta double check that
Edit: Yup this was his 10th. Good for him, dude is playing out of his mind.
Next time we go 11 F and 7 D, how about we give Brodin a shot at winger instead.
It’s also insane how sports ages people. Ovi is 38 years old and looks like he’s 50+.
The trade for Gus has been Guerin’s best move as a GM thus far.
I mean what an absolute robbery of a trade by BG. The Sens gave up too quick.
Is Kap ok?
#gussy 🥵
way too fucking persevere there guys! really put it together during the second and were able to finish it up in the third!
Fuck yes boys!! What a way to start the road-trip!! Gus Bus stole us that game! Boys were definitely on the ropes much of the game but Gus had some MASSIVE saves in key moments!!
GREEF line had a great night, Boldy and Duhaime had good games as well. Glad to get scoring coming from the d-men! Nice to get a win in a game that for much of it the Wild didn’t look good. Gotta wait a little longer for KK’s 100 but we’ll definitely take the W!!
More good news is that the Jets lost tonight too!!
Not only did we pick up a win I now get to talk smack to my step son who is a caps fan. I feel all warm and fuzzy
I love our Swedes so much. And Spurgeon.
Those are the kind of games we need to be able to win if we want any success play off wise. That one was nervy but it was a ton of fun at the same time. I love this team.
Good news everyone, Winnipeg got spanked by the Habs tonight 😄
i wanted to witness kap’s 100th so bad but at least i got to see a win for the 2nd year in a row!
Jets also lost and Stars didn’t play. Only 5 points separates the Wild from 1st in the division AND conference.
#ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN
Connor Dewar is going to fight a shark
The Wild on 7th episode was awesome. I feel like Dumba gave us much more of an inside look on his day to day and his bff Jimmy.
We maybe on the Gus Bus, but the top line is all Pass Gas.
SHOOT THE PUCK!!
