Obviously Chychurn had a good night but I did not expect a “night so good he’s off the chart, so we did a second piece of paper to graph just him and then taped it to the rest of the team” level of good night

Still a really long shot, but the target is closer than it was this afternoon

That’s the kind of assist you get from the best Connor Mc in the National

Caps PP actually looked good there. That feels weird

Traffic was so bad tonight I was just dropping mom at the seats when warmups were starting. The silver lining is I had a cryptid sighting

I want to bring a sign to a game for the first time ever but I don’t have the skills to make a Kampf version of this

One thing I’m pretty sure I’ve noticed is the theme song subtitles. I’d have to check my DVDs to be 100% sure but I think the song used to start “Like an Angel/born without mercy” but now it’s just the first half. Subtitles seem more complete later when that part gets echoed

Goalie in his NHL debut against the Caps in a must win game. What could possibly go wrong?

If we're talking about Mark Levin's nasally voice, it's time to pull out the clips of his voice played over Master Shake clips.

Engaged in the eternal struggle tonight (I want to watch a new to me scifi movie in space) and after a good 30 minutes I have finally landed on starting Evangelion over again even if I think the Netflix version is edited somehow

I don’t watch a lot of baseball anymore and what I do watch is entirely Nats games so my gauge isn’t the best but I do find it funny how many “franchise cornerstones” the Nats have drafted and then traded away. Harper, Turner, Rendon, Soto, and that’s just position players

About to unload dinner from the crockpot. It’s a kung pao chicken I’ve made a couple times that’s real good, except this time I found the dried chilis at the store so instead of a few shakes of red pepper flakes and maybe some cayenne I popped 6 chiles de arbol in but I don’t know how hot they are

I am not cheering for the Islanders but I am very much cheering against the Penguins and that has very little to do with where they are in the standings compared to the Caps

Anthony Mantha has 28 goals for Pittsburgh?

Might have to speed up my usual arena routine to catch the beginning of warmups, would hate to miss my first chance to verify the existence (or not) of Kampf. Wouldn’t be surprised if he steps on a puck at the morning skate and has to delay his debut a little longer to keep the debate alive

Could be time to resolve one of the world’s great debates tomorrow: does David Kämpf exist?

Put me in the “give Pro the rest of the season off” camp. In the unlikely event they make the playoffs you can reevaluate then

There is a 100% chance the subtle “reeeeeeeeeee” I hear all the time is because the music at CapOne is way way too loud, has been for a long time, and has gotten much worse the last year or two as they try to fill the noise void caused by an ambivalent, and often thin, crowd

Catching up with the Sirens/Victoire game from yesterday because my DVR isn’t currently shitting the bed and it looks like they do the Gold Draft? I hope the NHL is taking notes because the PWHL has some real good ideas

I’ve been thinking about this one a little bit and I think there is some very very narrow room for hope this season. Caps didn’t get any help on the out of town scoreboard today but over time the games in hand advantage of their two most likely teams to climb over (CBJ+PIT) has nearly evaporated

What a second half, and that finish. Obviously don’t like the outcome but hard to ask for more

Holy shit

Solomon “Solo” Ball is a local(ish) kid from Leesburg?

Refs still figuring out what a foul is gonna be with 8 minutes left is not ideal

Some big showy blocks today

Tortorella is like a franchise slasher at this point. You think the danger is over but then he shows back up again

Am I being Truman Showed?

Catching up with the race and I don’t know that I’ve seen a driver look hurt after a crash like Bearman limping to the barrier. You get so used to them popping out of the cockpit after a huge wreck and skipping off to the paddock that it’s weird to see anything else

Caps laid a smooth layer of three inch thick shit down tonight but won in the end. We’ll see if that moved them in the standings when I’m coherent tomorrow

LT ready to go home

Was thinking Strome is a fine choice, but second? What do I know?

Ovi absolutely has a place on the Caps PP next season if he wants it but he can not be plan A

Vegas penalty? Caps to finish on the PP? Put Hutson out for the love of god

Nearly game there, twice ><:

Hutson out in OT 🥹

Refilling my old man weekly pill caddy during the commercial break because I’m an adult

let this radicalize you

Strome PPG, never in doubt

Youth movement on hold: Caps run out Ovi/Chychrun/Wilson/PLD for the 4 on 3

To the PK again, that’s a good idea

I’ve been having fun as a trash panda this last week or so with the Caps on the road but I guess I’ll have to get my shit together with a home game on Tuesday

Stinky doodoo

It’s 12:20am and the Caps are just heading to the second intermission

Back to the PK, that’s a good idea

Good shift alert

I know a couple guys are hurt but this is definitely PP2 starting after a commercial break

Caps to the PP

Caps play these last few minutes

Don’t look now but the Caps are getting doubled up on shots and have turned a 3-0 lead into a 3-2 lead while on the PP
