[...] Read my pregame. I went on at length about the myriad ways in which the Carolina Hurricanes are a very bad hockey team. I didn’t even mention how they were missing Ruutu and Ward. That very bad awful team dominated the Capitals for a full hour. They dwarfed the Capitals. [...]

Don’t look now, it’s 4-0 Canes late in the 2nd and the Caps look like a middling ECHL team. So much for the 28th ranked penalty kill – Canes got a shorty.

I haven’t followed that web presence much, admittedly. I’ll listen closely tonight but Ovi’s stats are pretty disappointing and he’s a polarizing player, and when you’re the tenth team in your conference weaker conference and are losing games like we are, you probably shouldn’t get many headlines.

I’m not with you on this.

My objection is three-fold: 1) NBC Sports doesn’t talk about the Capitals much; b) when they do, it’s the same old Ovi yarn; iii) their web presence really is steady stream of trolling Caps fans

One fan to another, I’m really sick of this bashing on NBC Sports for their “Caps Bashing”. When you’re playing like crap, the announcers aren’t going to be able to find a ton of great things to say about you. We haven’t been a mediocre team in a while, but it disappoints me to see people already forgetting how you’re treated when you’re not playing top 10 hockey.

I hope so, buuuuuuuuuut….

After that it’s Devils, Flyers, Bruins… and then Red Wings, Hawks (maybe easy!), and Flyers again.Plus, Caps haven’t beaten NYI this year.

Upcoming games:
Ottawa
Montreal
Toronto
NYI

These games should be a walk in the park… They better be.

Ovie 45 pts really. He needs to hit the closest gym, cross fit, weight watcher for all I care! If I were paying him $9.5 I’d make sure he’s on top of it. Girlfriend Kirilenko is in better shape!

Well, no, actually. I didn’t pay attention to the mindless nattering.I just enjoyed the multiple games for the novelty of Hockey in the USA all bloody day.I hope it catches on!

Anyone else hate everything about the NBC broadcasts, including, but not limited to, their “omg-so-awesome!” camera angles? Forget the “we love anyone but the CAPS” commentary. i just can’t respect any sports broadcaster who touts Bob Costas as their #1 man… chris collinsworth is a very, VERY close second btw…

..scoar more goals.. go CAPS.
