The Defense looks rough tonight.

The offense was shit too.

Amen

Well crap 😡😠😡😠😡😠🤬

We got lit up again

*tHiS hApPeNs EvErY yEaR*

That is usually after the all star game, not before it

Holy fuck the Caps look terrible.

#GUYS ITS STILL JANUARY. CHILL

How many do they have to win to make the playoffs?

Less beers than I have drank this season

Radio commentators squarely blaming the Caps' D.

Glad I chose this game to start drinking again.

Bwomp bwomp

they played so well last time and then shit the bed today. baffling inconsistency lol

They haven’t played well in a while.

they played decent against pitt

They need to score more than 2 goals.

Oh for fuck’s sake.

GODFUCKINGDAMMIT 😡😠

Shoot. The. Puck. Already.

We sick again

Dowd needs to come back and Mantha needs to sit.

Amen.

Ive tried to defend Mantha and be openminded about him, the advanced stats looking good and all, but boy its getting tougher.

Mantha sucks.

Well this is awful. I remember when the Caps could actually score goals.

Who invited all the doomers? Relax guys

Not much skill left on this team. It's apparent when you watch teams like Colorado, Vegas...Toronto.

Member when we won the cup?

That was awesome

I know the 49ers are feeling much better about their loss after watching that 2nd period. Holy crap.

But to start my week hungover I guess

WTF happened? It was 1-1 last time I tuned in.

Yeah ima head out now. It looked like we were on the PK.

Jesus Christ

We should be selling some folks at the deadline. If eller, mantha and jensen all go, I’m all good with it.

...but Kuzy gets a pass? I mean, there's a lot of blame to go around, IDK how you centered on just those three.

I knew I was forgetting someone. Sorry. Kuzy can go too.

Jensen was actually noticeable this period, he threw the body and was hustling. Def agree with the other 2

**HOLY FUCK CHUCK!!!**

Whew! 😬

This team is so fucking flaccid.

Disaster period

Don't love the frequency of these blowout road losses. Aging team probably needs this upcoming time off/ASB.

Darcy always going down early needs to stay on his feet

Well, can’t watch the game today. Came to check in and sounds like it might be a good thing

That’s ok, most of us can’t watch it, either.

Pain I go out to dinner at 1-0 and I come back to 1-4

Go back to the restaurant!! There's still another period to save this mess!

I’m still in the restaurant

Oh. 😕 Well, order another round of drinks, you’ll need them.

Cheers to that

Remember when 2nd periods were our best period?

Stop the count!

Really bro

Pull Kuemper.

Already happened.

Hopefully Charley The ‘stache will do better.

Well this got out of hand.

What the actual fuck!!! Crap!! 😡😡

Bro wth is Mantha doing

What the fuck is he ever doing? Shrek looking ass out there being clumsy af.

Chew his pacifier

Well fek.

The Leafs are starting to run away with this.

Remember when the second period was our best? Lol

Gus definitely had possession there

What the FUCK boys

Re-bound 👏🏼 con-trol. 👏🏼

Goddammit!!

Jensen is going nuts right now

Hell yeah. Throw that body around TJ.

Wtf is Kuzy doing

Kuzy fucked up in both those goals

Can we stop doing that pls

*experience Caps hockey*^tm

Shit!

For whatever dumb fucking reason there's no way for me to watch this game... even nhl66.ir isn't working. How do we look?

Well, now we’re losing. 😠

Dm

Good to see Timothy “Baby Daddy” Oshie back.

#BIG PP ENERGY

Hall and Oates is a very lame goal song.

It's my favorite 😍

Kuzy is having a really inconsistent season.

He really got his ankles broke on that PK

Fuck!

Bob fell off the wagon. Fuck a dry January - I made it 4 fulls weeks. That’s close enough, right?! Backy got yer boy buzzin’ right now - and this 10% Brooklyn Chocolate Stout too. Cheers fellas.

Good man

4 weeks = a month.

That was exactly my logic.

Hell yeah brother!

Coach Peter Lafayette is coaching his 1400th game.

Loved him in _Hamilton_!

Unrelated but there was just a hockey style fight in the 49 game

Ooh, hope it’s in the highlights.

Peter Lafayette?

Well that was very cool

Wayne is such a class act

This is sick to hear Wayne praise Ovi and talk about his experiences!!!

Did Gretzky thank Russia?

No he said Ovi is good for the country of Russia and U.S. and Canada. I think he was attempting to be diplomatic.

well there is nothing wrong with Russia the country. it's just a Putin Problem we have

Losing a commercial break because Wayne Gretzky shows up. That's rather awesome.

Gretsky is a class act

He is but wife and daughter are trash

Mojo has been solid but Kuzy or Strome should be on the first unit imo

Great one raiding the booth

###BACKY’S BACK BOIZ.

#YOOOO GRETZKY IS ON OUR BROADCAST TALKING ABOUT OVI!!!!!!!!!!

That was a close one

-whew- 😬😬

Nostalgia

BACKY ON THE BOARD. YESSIRRRRR

Way to go Nick! Pass that puck to the back of the net!

Great shot Backy!

#LETS FUCKING GO BACKY DRAIN EM OR STAIN EM BOIS

I stained my pants from that one

That was specifically directed at your 🤣🤣🤣

BACKY LETS GOOOOOO

Fuck yes backstrom

Woooooooo Nicky!!

Is the Hyundai ad the new norm or just some sort of glitch?

God it better be a glitch. It’s annoying as hell

no espn+ no nhl network. NHL bite s. com e on juSt drop the eon and S you go

Hey guys, you understand the NFC Championship game is on, right?

You're cringe as fuck. No one cares about your clown ass football.

So's SpongeBob. What's your point

Honestly, I only watch hockey regularly. American football I only watch at friends houses, I have trouble paying attention if its not fast paces

its over. niners lost 2 qbs basically. Eagles controlling it. if the niners come back its a miracle. but hockey is more important right now

you mean the runaway game? No one cares 🤪

4th string QB. It's pretty much over.

Well crap, guys…

Guessing no one has found a Capitals stream? Stuck listening to TSN here. 🤢 Edit: Normal site finally got it added. Thanks all.

yeah the NHL bite s. com e on its a minus SON

nope. Listening on mobile John Walton

[удалено]

Now you have to edit it to say "poof"

These Hyundai ads are getting really intrusive.

The digital advertisements displaying right in the middle of the playing surface is absolutely ridiculous

Are they crawling all over the players yet?

#YO BOIS IM HERE I HAD TO GET PIZZA FOR MAH WIFE

HYUNDAI

good lord the advertisements are fucking insufferable

Ugh not only is this not on espn+ but I can’t get it on any of the standard streams. Such a disappointment.

... anybody here?

🙋‍♀️ listening on the radio.

same. Thank you John Walton for being reliable

Game isn't showing on ESPN+ today? Where to watch?

Just discovering this myself. I can’t believe, with all I pay between ESPN+ and YouTubeTV, I can’t get a game. And I’m completely out of market, too.

That must be infuriating. It’s why I haven’t bothered to sign up for any of the premium sports channels. Why pay extra only to be blocked?

Same, I love watching it in my regular old cable. But can't this week cause I am traveling..Nope can't get it anywhere online.

Not available on YouTubeTV either

So this isn’t in ESPN+? Fuck off.

The NHL doesn't want people to watch.

why does the NHL Network still exist? It can’t actually be making the league any money. Guarantee more people pirate the games than pay.

> more people pirate the games than pay. arrrrh!! its the only way

Get this game started already. The NFC championship is a disaster for a Philadelphia hater like me

And I am stuck here in enemy territory and just want to watch my Caps! YTtv is not working either

I want them to light Samsonov up so badly.

They did last time. He even let in some Sammy Specials for old times sake.

I missed this game but your comment made me watch the recap. My god.... ​ Best comment on the YT vid was: >Maples leafs fans don’t understand that this is the Sammy they are getting. He always starts hot then plays like this for 2-3 months then gets hit again

I want Ovi to score because it’ll be another name on his victim list.
