Caps just beat Calgary

Wish this one was on TV for me - sounds like a nutty start. Keep the pedal down boys.

7pm game time out here on the west coast for me. Looking forward to seeing the boys in person tomorrow against the Canucks. They haven't been playing great lately, but Tocchet will have them going. Will I get UPL or Levi?

Ah, so we're going to do the grammar police thing? Okie-dokie

Saw many Wheat Kings games in the 70s-80s. Lots of Blades and Pats as well.

Wow, how rude. I'm born on the prairies where hockey players come from, grew up in a small town rink, played my first tournament at age 4, and know at least as much about hockey as you Mr. Classy.

I know plenty about goalies, what a strange thing to say. Yes, that's an ideal situation, but at times a teams goaltending situation is in a temporary state of flux. You don't get optimal situations all the time. You work through it. Your goaltenders are professional athletes. You see what you have, then you make decisions.

Whatever that is supposed to mean. Your opinion is no more valid than mine.

I think you're overstating how "hard" it is on them. They're pro athletes, they'll be fine. If you don't know what you have with your goaltending, the way to find out is playing them, simple as that. Otherwise you could make a terrible mistake, such as trading UPL.

I just disagree with that. They needed to determine what they had with their three goalies and the only way to do it was play them for a short period of time. I'm perfectly fine with that. And many here would have traded UPL early in the season, and then where would we be?

Detroit now losing 4-1 with 3 minutes to go.

The parade will go down the usual route. Do we have a route? TB just took a 5-3 lead, boo.

...and just like that it's tied up again

Rangers take the lead over TB 3-2

Tampa just tied it up

Yes, the Flyers have dropped back into the discussion - didn't see that coming. If we keep playing the way we are definitely in the mix.

Wow!

Make that 2-0

Detroit also down 1-0 to Arizona. Another huge opportunity tonight to make up ground. Huge.

Tampa down 1-0 to the Rangers

Not true, they deserve criticism at times. What I don't like is repeated flat-out dumb comments. There is a vast difference. Unless you also think the organization is "preparing to miss the playoffs next year".

I don't like their chances against the Kraken tomorrow, or the Canucks on Saturday.

Caps down 6-2 now, oops - 7-2 now. They're done and look awful.

Caps already down 1-0 to the Oilers Scratch that - 2-0 Oilers

Last night was essentially a playoff game, so the pressure is on. Having said that, with a couple years experience for our core, we're starting to handle pressure situations well imo.
