Ummm, yea…being there in person last night was pretty sad. And there was a woman in a Modano jersey just a few seats in front of me and it took all I had to not judo kick her down the stairs as we left…but hopefully tomorrow night they’ll come out ready to go! And that picture of you and the bulldog is beyond cute, while also summing up how every Caps fan felt leaving the arena last night

@Courtney, I think you nailed it. Theodore had the same psychological issue earlier this season when he said, “I just work here.” Theo finally got played, and was a superstar (41 saves against the Wings IIRC). Varly needs to get continue to get ice time now, so he can be in prime condition– mentally and physically– by the end of the regular season.

Reading the ” Hockey is stupid” rant made me feel better about last night’s ummmmm…..let’s call it ” get the scew-ups out of our system now, before the playoffs start” episode. Not hugely better, but a bit better.

P.S.- Peter,you’re rather cute when you’r grumpy lol

I see lots of people ragging on Varly, but you don’t go almost 3 whole months without playing and come back as sharp as he was before the injuries. I think he should keep getting starts, 1) for the game action and 2) for his confidence level. I think Theo deserves the #1 position right now given the way he’s been playing, but repairing Varly’s psyche and confidence should be given priority, as well. I thought Varly showed flashes of his old self last night – it was so good to see! Honestly, the game never should have been that close, but Turco was standing on his head and doing his best Ryan Miller impersonation.

Umm.. don’t h8 I’m such a Twitter noob. Please explain. If I send pix from better parts of last night’s game will that make amends?

@MoniMaz, I hate you for using the #justsayin hashtag.

Dude you nailed it.

If I may add: Refs who don’t call penalties until 3rd. And who cares if they weren’t any until on or about then, they should have been calling them anyway. Why was last night any different?? #justsayin

I console myself by watching replay of Ovechkin hit on Jagr.

@Matty, great points.

Do you think Theo should return to the net on Wednesday, or should BB just stick with Varly until he gets the kinks out? This, after all, is the part of the season when stakes are low. The goal for the next 18 or so games is to hammer the team into playoff shape.
