[...] Ducks 2, Caps 1 — …we’ve got to power through the next few days of blowhard columnists and humorless humorists waxing assholic about our team. [...]

[...] Seven straight losses is not where anyone thought the Caps would be heading into HBO’s 24/7 special. The intensity is there. The scoring chances are there. Just not the goals, and as a result, not the wins either. [...]

The Sens and Devils games are definitely winnable (knock on wood, but so were the games against the Panthers and Leafs). If somehow the Caps can solve Tim Thomas, there just might be a different tone to the second episode of HBO’s 24/7. We already know the Pens have lost two straight, to the Flyers and Rangers, so their side of the story won’t be as one-sided happy-go-lucky as episode 1. Bring it on.

“waxing assholic”

That’s just all kinds of awesome.

On to Boston! Where Tim Thomas’s scalp will make an excellent slump-breaking trophy.

If we can win up there – we should be looking at a good 3 game winning streak to take us into our first match against the team-that-shall-not-be-named.

Optimistic I know – but its snowing – so to hell with bad moods…

It’s a shame. Any other night and I would have been “satisfied” with this loss. We worked hard and seemed to not get *as* discouraged as we have in previous games when the other team scored. You could tell there was still a lot of frustration, but it’s starting to look like once we get the monkey off of our back, a lot of things will fall into place at once.

What I didn’t enjoy was the deplorable way that Boudreau represented the organization during the subsequent 24/7 episode. I have no issue whatsoever with cursing, believe me, but when a team is obviously disheartened and emotionally lost, cursing at them for 10 minutes isn’t going to do anything but make matters worse, in my opinion. It’s embarrassing to watch him try to string together a coherent sentence/keep himself clean, and you know everyone who hates us watched that hour of TV and lost a little more respect for the organization.

Well, it would be fitting to break our streak against the bruins. Whether or not we’ll do it is doubtful, but just like with my beloved Orioles, No matter how bad things get, I always tune in to watch. Thick and Thin.

[...] don’t have much to say. Japer’s Rink, Russian Machine, and The Peerless have plenty. I have photos; see them below or on flickr. [...]

Do we know how to crash the net? Knuble, do your job, sit in-front of the net and put the cheap one away! And does anyone else feel like we need Fleishmann back? Somehow, in some way, that fella is the glue who kept us together. Since Mo-vember, we have looked like poop.

The only thing worse than this loss was watching the HBO 24/7 episode afterwards.

Ugh.

Did anyone notice that they played Band of Horses’ the Funeral during the episode when they were showing a Caps game?
