Maybe tonight we'll see a little better play by the D and the PK? Some nice clears and some good passing in the defensive zone?

[YanksNats1987]

Have to miss the game tonight (going to the Hershey-Norfolk game) but hopefully the night goes a little better then last night.

They will jump out and play hard, but slowly throughout the game they will begin to slow down and probably end up losing because of the goaltending.
:\
But I hope they win

-Tyler Sloan is absolutely awful, why did re-sign this guy.
-Chimera's showing his worth
-Neuvirth lets in soft goals
-Defense atrocious

[YanksNats1987]

Wow, come home and the Caps have tied this thing up to get a point. Time to get a win in OT!

Just made a great play in OT at least...

[YanksNats1987]

Broken stick on a breakaway...we'll take it. Theo with another nice stop not much later!

[YanksNats1987]

Crap, Brooks with the trip. Need to kill this 50 secs to go.

[YanksNats1987]

Onto the shootout...Theo playing great hockey, go figure.

FLASH!!!

Hey YanksNats, how'd Carlson look at the Hershey game?

Hey YanksNats, how'd Carlson look at the Hershey game?

I thought he played pretty solid throughout the game, but then the final 10 seconds hit. In the defensive zone Carlson made a bad pass that was picked off at the blue line (game was tied 3-3, all he had to do was hold onto the puck or dump it to go into OT) and that led to the GWG for Norfolk w/ 7 seconds left. He ended up -2 on the night, had a couple shots on net and picked up an assist.

Sounds like the second-coming of Mike Green

We suck, knew another 3rd period collapse would come. Theodore played amazing, and Ovechkin is just sooooo much better than everyone else on that ice.
