Seriously? I thought after a decent game Theo would get the start.

I would start Theo if it was up to me.

Yeah I was kind of surprised as well. But to be fair, Neuvy did pretty good against Montreal and Theo's really not good against Atlanta. And our next game is a back to back, so he'll get another start soon enough.

True dat. I think BB is keeping him hungry. I hope Neuvy is ready for Kovalchuk!

The Caps shell the Trashers and damnit I want to see a Hat Trick. Enough of these 2 goal performances.

7 - 2 Caps

Semin gets the hatty

God-dam-shit-hell-fuck...on to Hot-lanta and the pesky Trashers...are their fans continuing their revolt...? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9c6x4O93Ac

Can the Caps win their 3rd straight?
Will their flight problems affect their play?
Did the Thrashers pay their electric bill? (Unlike the Devils last night... :lol:

)
Can Boyd Gordon continue his scoring tear?
Will Brooks Laich fucking get on one?
Will not starting tonight piss Theo off even more--or make him more hungry--or both?
Can Nuevy stop Kovalchuk?
What will the forward lines look like?
What will the 'D' parings look like?
Will Caps fans outnumber Atlanta fans? Bet on it...
Will caps81737 run out of rum before the game starts?

Keep it going, boys...
6-2 Caps...
Ovie, Brooks, Backstrom, Semin, Brads, and Morrisson...
Nuevy with 802 saves...795 on Kovalchuck...

UNLEASH THE BARCARDI!!!!!!
LET'S GO *hic*CAPS!!!!!!

Not the worst morons in stripes we could have been given for tonight's game so that's a good start already.

I wanna see Ovi, Semin, Green, B.Mo and Laich with goals.

PS. I would also like to see Kovalchuk traded to the Caps.

I don't remember! Plus editing pictures like that would require me getting out my work laptop....and I don't wanna do work tonight

caps4eva · **Posted:** Sat Jan 09, 2010 6:32 pm

I'm still thinking 4-3 Caps for this game.

Ovechkin (2), Laich, and Backstrom

I'm watching the game on a real TV tonight!

And doesn't the game start at 7 PM? The seats behind Joe B and Locker are empty...

About 99% of the time they tape those pre-game speeches hours before the game, especially when on the road.
