No imagination necessary... I've seen a shirt that says "I Laich Semin!" with little hearts dotting the "i"s.

If that doesn't scream "puckbunny"...

Crap, I just realized... if we win tomorrow night, Sunday had better not be the letdown game. :angry-steamingears:

Don't we play tomorrow and Friday?

Goalies for the next 3 games - Jose Sunday, what about Thursday and Friday? Will he play all 3 or will we see Varla-Neuv-Holtby in net for one? If so, which one?

How much longer before Tim Thomas cracks up under the pressure? As suggested earlier, can't be much fun knowing your team's basically scuppered for the evening if you allow more than two goals.

Understands:

Duh, I forgot about Atlanta on Friday. I really should think more before posting before noon as the brain isn't working quite right.

Is it bad that I'd be ok losing to Atlanta as long as they bounce back and rip the Pens a new one on national TV?

We do - tomorrow at NYR, Friday vs Atlanta - and the reason Sunday had better not be the letdown game is that, if the Caps win the next two, they have a chance to tie the club-record unbeaten streak of 14 by beating the Guins on Sunday...since there are no drawn matches any more, we have to win all the way...wouldn't the NBC announcers have a field day if the Guins were the ones to deny the Caps the tying win, on national telly no less?

No, I am thinking that we've played lousy for a few games and won, but I really want us to beat the Pens Sunday. I'd like # 12 against Rags, lose to Atlanta, then demolish the Pens. Although we shouldn't have to worry about getting up for the Pens game.

Neuvy injured up in Hershey. (Lower body - not considered serious.) Not making the trip to Norfolk tonight. Bears picked up a scrub goalie to back up Cash tonight. (Per John Walton Hockey twitter)

Winning streaks are nice and all, and I am not trying to urinate on anyone's celebration, but in the grand scheme of things they dont mean dick.

absolutely agree, and I think any Caps fans that haven't just jumped on the bandwagon know that the only thing that matters is the Cup.
What I'm taking from the streak is that we're finding different ways to win, having different players come up with big plays (Poti's assists and Gordon's goal for the most recent), getting goals from net-crashing, finishing teams in the 3rd instead of letting them back in, etc... a lot of good habits

btw DH32 had that same ABB sticker on my last car, love 'em; must have 250 live shows of theirs now from all eras :banana-guitar:

I'm somewhat behind on updating the list, but it's at least 90% there. I know I have some of last fall's not listed yet
