Not that I know of. Never even heard of Hocky. Is it some type of spitting endeavor?

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Ted Leonsis has been the owner for 10 years and we have yet to win a Stanley Cup. He's got to go!!!!

Seriously though, I really hope this is the year. Rock the Red!

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Looking forward to Caps hockey, Wizards basketball, and G-Town!!

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Anybody know a site online to watch the game? F'n Comcast overcharging DTV for Versus means I no longer get Versus on DTV and I can't watch the game. I was at a bar for the first two periods but I'm home now. Any sites anybody knows of?

At least he has the brains to let a hockey guy (McPhee) make hockey decisions.

Ovie picking up right where he left off last season. What a beast. Laich having a great game too. I love that Erskine stood in there and traded blows with Joe Thornton.

Go Caps!!!

Nice little game we got going on here. Not a bad way to open up the year. Still rooting for an ovechkin or a laich hat trick.

Sorry. I'm still hot about last Sunday.

GO CAPS!

A team that beats not only teams that they're suppose to beat but good teams as well. What is this that you speak of?

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Nice win to start the year.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

But seriously, great start to the season. I tuned in the 2nd period, I guess I am good luck.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Man this is amazing 6-1 at the end of the second. They really are an amazing team to watch even in crappy streaming quality. You know what screw the Redskins, as long as the Caps keep playing like this I'll be able to stay sane.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Great Game! Way to start the season spank those sorry ass bees on the road, and bring the house alive tonight for the home opener! By just running the F over the leafs!

Ovy and the other Alex are putting on a show, and way to go VARLY!

This is a SPECIAL group! I look for a special season, ALL THE WAY BABY!

Could get a little ugly in the 3rd tonight....? You know how those red heads get...

GO CAPS!!!!!

and skins tomorrow, damit

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Bought my tickets to the game on Thursday. Great game today. We let in some junk late... But still liked the way our offense dominated.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Man I wish we had some Capital avatars.

Pretty legit contender today in the Flyers. They've only let in 2 scores thus far... so lets see if the offensive explosion can continue against a more stout D.

Can't wait until Thursday, Rangers @ Caps. Only paid 20$ on stub hub for the tickets.

And I know its waaaaaayyy early. But it's still nice to be #1

Have I mentioned how much I HATE danny briere and his chipmunk-like face?

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Dagger...

What a game though. Our offense is Ri-dic.

Looking like our D still needs some help

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Did anybody else notice how sloppy the Caps were playing in overtime? Maybe it's just me but it looked like the Flyers had more hustle, they were more active in engaging the Caps when we had the puck, and they were getting a lot more shots on goal too. I wasn't suprised when Briere got the game winner in because they were hustling and playing like they wanted it. We looked like we were just going through the paces.

They were also at home.


Let's see what happens when the flyers come into our house.. Oct 27th.

Not that I'm happy with the loss it but I'm actually quite pleased with how well they were able to do with virtually 20 PIM due to minors (I think it was 25 if you included the Bradly fight) against a team like the Flyers, plus if this type of stuff was going to happen I would rather it happen now then come playoff time.

Still a little nervous about our Goalie situation as I'm sure the whole fan base that follows it is. Damn ESPN putting us atop the Power Rankings, way to jinx us espen.

Semin is awesome though, I really hope we can lock him up to a long term contract.

Semin is out of this world. His greatness is overshadowed by Ovie, but make no mistake, he's phenomenal.

I'm also concerned about the goalie situation. Our D isn't helping us much either. Frankly I'm a bit tired of hearing what a great defenseman Mike Green is. He's great at scoring when compared to other defenders, but he's been asleep since late last season.

Another big test, but this time on our ice. I'm going to Chinatown for some pre-game drinks, and then I'll be one of the 18,277 strong in attendance @ the phone booth.

Rock the Red. Last Caps game I went to was game 1 of the playoffs vs. the Rangers, and a giant brawl ensued after the game. Lets hope Rangers fans can be a little more civil this time, because the poor souls that started the brawl were taken over by the red army.

Hard to get pumped up for the 4th game of the season, but the way ovi and co are playing its hard not to enjoy it.

I'm aware and maybe it's just a case of sloppy play but they'd better show up and play when the Flyers come to our house.

Sadly they did not... and they were given a garbillion chances.

Right now, not a bad 2-0 start. Green's goal was pretty. I really really really want to kill this trend of giving up in the second half of the game.

Just got my tickets to the game this Thursday. Rock the Red bitches.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

got to see us lose the other day :(

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Please. Please. Please.... win tonight. And if we lose, I don't want to be up by 15 goals and then have them come back. No games are important this early... but it's important to stop this ridiculous trend.

The CAPS are playing very undisciplined!

PENALTIES are KILLING THEM! Or they are killing themselves!

Need a win tonight, against a tough Shark team at the booth!

GO CAPS!!!!!

Does anyone know what Jose only played in the first period tonight? I'm flipping back and forth so I'm not sure if he's injured or what.
