big game -- good luck Caps

Fedorov!?!

PUT IN OLIE!!!

LEEEEEEEETSSSSSSSSS

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

*drums*

Clear the crease, finish your checks, crowd Creepy Eyes, and somebody put Dani-boy into the boards, just once, for being a punk.

Let's go Caps!!!!!!

GAME TIME!

HONK HONK HONK!

LETS GO CAPS!!

If Backstrom is centering Ovie's line, I might give up on the game. I think moving Fedorov is a smart decision, and I was calling for it during Game 3. But then Schultz, who was never fully healthy, got hurt, so Fedorov had to take a spot on the blueline. And he played admirably back there, too.

C-A-P-S
CAPS CAPS CAPS!

How many times have we called a game the most important game of the year - but none bigger than tonight for more reasons than just the score of the series. The team needs their confidence back! Go Caps!

CAPS WIN TONIGHT 3-2

80 PIMS

ROCK THE RED

UNLEASH THE FURY

GO CAPS

HONK HONK HONK!!!

MILBURY SUCKS

If Bruce gives the word, I will knock that little namby pamby Brier's head off!

Somebody said Barry Melrose picked the Caps to win tonight?

Doesn't he have the touch of death when it comes to predictions?

If we can overcome Melrose we can definitely overcome the Pfliers.

Locker just said somebody needs to take "bop" Brier.

Go bop him Cookie!

copy and paste that into your browser if you need to watch the game and cant get to a tv. it only works if you have a pc or windows media player though

fu**ing here we go again

Is Briere going after Backs?!?

Backs was ready

YES!~!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!~!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe folks should start crap with Backs more often...

Yes! That's how we should be doing things!

backstrom baby

hey ref you suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we PLEASE stay out of the box?????????

check out the hot babe behind bb

I'd like to thank the refs for attempting to hand this one to the Flyers. For &@#@ sake, the refs are the worst in NHL. Far worse than any other sport. Ever. EVER.

The refs can try, our guys are ready! GO CAPS! Take no Sh**!

Bless you czechsmix - from a humble librarian trying to follow the game at work.

GO CAPS!!!

helluva pk!

Whiter Mage:
Read your post on the last thread to me - not sure I understand what you were saying?

Sombrero:
Ovie did NOT dive - I can't believe they are still saying that. The replay was clear - he was tripped.

Our PK seems to be working well. Flyers got some bad bounces, things are going our way for once, regardless of folks in the box...

Thanks for the confirmation, Boo. I kept looking, there was no dive.

brash wont hit and cant skate
cooke doing nothing
federov gets caught floating off during a change
WHAT LEADERSHIP BY OUR VETERANS
thank god for steckel amd laich

Knuble -- that is stinking garlic in Yiddish

uncatim:
Did you ask about the dive?!? I thought it was Sombrero! :-) You're talking about game 3, right? If so, there was no dive (not that I can ever recall Ovie diving - he's just not that kind of player).

No, Sombrero Guy asked. I was just agreeing with you

Take a seat Briere!

uncatim:
Ah! Sorry - I'm just not used to seeing agreement on this board ... ;-)

COME ON, BOYS ... THIS IS IT!!! :-D

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! WAY TO GO, BOYS!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

Love it! Keep it up boys! Semin and Nick are looking terrific together.

YEAH SEMIN!

Oh man - if this game keeps going like this, I'm going to run out of expletives to shout!!

Granted, some of these guys are older than me, but they're all still our boys!! :-D I hope they can keep it up - they're playing hard and physical ... that's what they need to do to beat this team.

I believe that's our song...

I should call the refs out more often.

JMU:
Huh?!?

Philly's music people are playing "Pretender" by Foo Fighters... it was Comcast's Caps intro music during the regular season.

JMU:
Ah

Is anyone else's Comcast feed whackadoodle?

semin's goal was all laick in front tying up smith's stick. that's why he's as valuable on the pp as the danglers. oh and backs and semin made pretty good plays too.

For the love of sweet, dear baby jesus, WHAT THE @!@( IS WRONG WITH THE REFS? Brads is bleeding all over the place and they call some horse#@&@ on Juice? WHAT THE #(@@?????

Holy @#@&, I'm going to break something over here.

The PK is absofrickinlutely awesome.

DJOFIFJERQ KJVND AKS JNFKLDSJF LKADFJKADSJF EIOFEWLKFDASKFJDSANDKMSJVDHK F EWFJJEFI4J3FSADLFJ DSAK FJLADSK FJL

HOW THE F*CK DO THEY ALWAYS SCORE AT THE END OF THE 1st.

What a bunch of crap.

F-in Bullsh!t...we should have been on a 4 mintute power play

argh....

My comcast hd feed is fine...

Wow ... both the PP and the PK look good. That was pretty. Shoot!! We got lucky on that first one - can't believe they followed it up with another. The Caps need to bounce back NOW!!!!!!!

Jurnica = liablity.

Well, they are playing probably the best they have all series. If they keep it up, they can win. I've over Juice - he makes me nervous.

Amazing how the Caps can outplay a team for 18 minutes and still come out looking like the loser. The first and second Flyers goals are all that's wrong with the Caps in the playoffs so far. How does a guy skate through two Caps, turn around and make an open cross-ice pass. I know Huet wasn't going to stop that, but he barely reacted to the pass, too. Terrible all around. I was feeling pretty good about this game, but the Caps just handed the momentum back to the Flyers simply because they can't exit the puck from their zone.

Next year, in my dreams:

Jurcina: gone
Schultz: gone
Poti: gone
Eminger: gone
Erskine: 7th, (maybe)

Jesus crow, I wish the Caps had anyone besides Morrisson (sp?) who could play halfway decent, you know, DEFENSE.

The Caps not clearing the puck and playing it daintily caused both goals. They want to walk it out of the zone. They keep burning themselves.

why hate on juice? last game not withstanding
he took a penalty, but it was embellished/forced by whatever flyer he hooked up with. Didn't we ask them to get physical?
Did I miss another blatant turnover? I'm confused.

Maybe it's because we spent so much of the period on PK and PP, but I hardly noticed Cooke on the ice at all tonight. I'd like to see him get physical with the Flyers but he's been a non-factor in the series so far.

@Colin

Completely agree... The Flyers are given us this game, and we are returning the favor in our zone.

I do like our energy, hopefully Jurcina and Morrisonn remember how to play hockey over the intermission.

milan jurcina is terrible. it really speaks to our lack of depth at the position that he is still playing. at this point i think sami lepisto might even be a better option.

I'm not sure but I think Cooke had a shorthanded attempt on the PK.

Trust me, I'm a Doctor.

philthy

adjective
1. disgustingly dirty like Flyers fans and their city; filled or smeared with offensive matter; "as filthy as a pigsty Flyer"; "a foul pond"; "a nasty pigsty of a philadelphia city"

Cruch them, destroy 'em, show no mercy

Go Caps!

@jmu

Not the penalty... not clearing the puck...

First goal was because Jurnica decide to poke the puck up the boards rather than get it out.

Second goal Feds tries to skate it out and gets pick-pocketed.

If they would have just chipped it out or iced it, they probably wouldn't be tied.

And the Caps blew that PP after they scored on the 5-on-3. They kept trying to skate it in. They were rebuffed. They should've dumped and chased. Not glamorous, but effective in the playoffs. Then, Green did skate one in pretty far and decided to dump, which ended up in a hard around that the Flyers were able to clear easily. Made no sense. It's like they got up 2-1 and reverted back to the finesse, dainty game that's caused them two losses in this series. They felt comfortable and gave up that late goal. They have to knock that crap off.

uncatim-- he did, at least kind of

I'm not hating on Juice because of that amazingly BS call on him - I'm hating on him because I'm currently playing better defense than he is and I'm almost 3000 miles away.

Had all the momentum after the last PK, then pissed it all away with another late goal...unbelievable

ugh...like the play, but same killer mistakes....

defense upgrade has got to be gmgm's #1 priority...

does anyone else dislike poti as much as me?

I know Huet wasn't going to stop that, but he barely reacted to the pass, too.

Colin, are you serious or are you kidding?

GET POTI OUT OF OUR CREASE, HE BLOCKS HUET AND IS NOT PHYSICAL ENOUGH TO GET THE PHILLY O OUT OF THERE!!!

At least SOG are about the same (and were for the entire period). The last couple games we just didn't even shoot! So, they're shooting and playing physical - good signs!

eh, I guess. He's doing a better job than I would, so I guess I tend to give them breaks. He's cleared it a few times...

Let's go Caps!!!

Jeff Carter needs to brush his teeth. just saying.

@ King Huet

Here's my preface: I'm not blaming the goal on Huet. Not at all. It started well before that. But no, he didn't react well to it. The pass was made, and Huet didn't slide over. He kind of tumbled toward the shooter. Again, goal isn't his fault. Just noticing that his reaction time wasn't great. Really hasn't been through this entire series. He's made some nice saves, don't get me wrong. And I don't think Olie should've started this game. (I think Olie should've played the third period of Game 3). But his reaction time was pretty slow on that one.

The team looks good,

Backie is mad = GOOD

Semin is mad = GOOD

We are going to win tonight. (knock on wood)

Trust me, I am a doctor.

@Colin

I am sorry, I have to disagree... Huet had no chances even to react... Modry was perfect... You can't react on those unless you are cheating...

That period didnt end well but I can't help but smile when I think back and remember our 2 PP goals were because of that hobbit Briere.

new Tarik update...

@ King Huet

Fair enough. Just an observation I made.

All the people asking for eminger to be put in, I'm totally baffled. For a team who struggles desperately to get the puck of their own zone, he's absolutely the worst of the bunch.

Emmie is my hero...

He is under my protection from now on, like Christobal

Go Caps!

two sticks and one elbow to caps heads and not a call
what horrible f'en refereeing

brash looks lost

better effort time for a big 3rd period come on caps

@ czechsmix

Thank you so much for that link. I've been listening to games on the Caps radio all season, and the playoffs too. It's unbelievable to actually be able to see what is going on on the ice!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

GO CAPS!!

Somebody needs to give Hatchet the cave man his own medicine... A good hard elbow right where his third eye is.

No mercy to cheap shot flyers, no mercy!

To all Olie supporters,

When we say Capitals, we mean Kolzig,
When we say Kolzig, we mean Capitals...

Here's what Olie wanted to relay to you:

There's no time to be sentimental,
there's no time for goalie controversy,
we must unite like the army of one
and stick for better or worse with Christobal Huet

Now there's a chance, and it already happened in these playoffs with Hasek and Kiprisoff, of a meltdown, this is where Olie will come back on ice and stay tall in the net,
but now his message is, and he is a classy man,

STAY BEHIND HUET, SUPPORT HIM, because he needs it.

Alright?

cant we change without getting a penalty?
federov then cooke
what a pair of veterans

brash and cooke 26 shifts
total output=
1 shot 1 hit

lets win this in ot
huet looks way better
what a pk awesome job
what a horrible call on kozlov

no matter what happens:

Huet already has delivered a miracle

He stood tall, and we, as Caps fans, need to stay tall behind him.

F**cking flyers are doomed...
