If we can’t beat the worst team in the NHL team tonight, that seals no playoffs.
Drop this one so that the tank can officially be on. Oh, but give me an Ovi goal first.
Caps lose 4-5; 3 Ovi goals and a Milano goal
if they lose tonight to the worst team in the league, at least 4 players on expiring deals should be traded by the end of the week. just accept that the “good” players on the team arent good enough anymore and the guys who’s deals expire arent coming back most likely anyway
I was 38 years old when I found out *D2: The Mighty Ducks* was just a long-form commercial for a Disney-owned NHL team.
so I have a question: after the puck has been shot, if it leaves the ice, does that make it a flying saucer?
Lets score some goals tonight dudes and babes!! 🏒🥅
Is this the big run? Ovie back, we summon the old powers – and ride!?? Nicky reverts to 2015 and Willy kicks ass?
I wish, but i think it’s over boys. Sell, sell and sell.
Orlov and Hath out. So who is playing in their places?
Two rookie defencemen in the line up makes me very uneasy
Hathaway to Boston is being reported.
Edit: Orlov and Hathaway to Boston via a third team for salary cap retention. Washington retains too. Caps get Smith + picks.
I’m going to miss Hathaway and orlov
Orlov and Hathaway to Boston
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo. So sad right now.
But it’s probably for the best.
And so it begins
Can’t lie the return seems a little light but it’s better than nothing
All right, now this thread becomes an anti-bruins thread so that pick slides up the board.
FUCK THE BRUINS
If there’s one place those two will thrive, it’s fucking Boston.
OVI needs a hat trick tonight. One for his father, one for son, and one for the holy hand gernade!
LFG go in honor of Papa Ovi
OMG the puppies 🐶
Can we just watch the puppies instead?
For Papa Ovi
Our 3rd pairing d team is ahl worthy. I don’t know how well it will do against the ducks, but against a real team, theres no hope.
Almost halfway through the first and this thread is so quiet! Where is everyone?
Go Ducks, let’s tank all the way to Bedard baby.
Drunk chris is here and enraged right now
Damn I’m gonna miss Hathaway dude holy fuck
Omg we scored first.
OSHHHH
Hey. A PP goal. I’m gonna need Ovi to do that.
Oshbabe
We’re back in the playoff hunt, reverse the trade.
Pp goal 🙂
OSHBABE DEFLECTION!!!
It’s amazing how much different the power play looks with Ovi back. It looked downright awful without him out there and both chances tonight have looked really good.
###COUNTRY ROADSSSSS TAKE ME HOMEEEEEE.
woo
The Grit Line won’t be the same without Hathaway. We’ll miss you King Shit-Stirrer.
I’m really gonna need goals from Wilson and Ovi to get my enthusiam back 🙁
Can y’all imagine Hathaway on the same line as Frederic? What hell have we wrought on the league
Attaboy Chucky!
#CHUCKY CHUCKY CHUCKY CHUCKY
Big chucky save
Chucky for that incredible save, you’ve earnt another long rest on the bench. Congratulations.
What a horseshit penalty
Good to score first for once. Maybe if we don’t spend the whole game chasing from behind we might win for once
Our entire (healthy) 7 man D corps combined makes $600k less than Carlson makes alone. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see if it pays off.
