i’m visiting my parents in DC so i’m watching the DC/comcast announcers. they are the caps’ regular announcers but they are very good. (joe beninati and craig laughlin. actually craig has a horribly annoying voice and manner of speech but his content is all right. they are both knowledgeable and pretty fair — not homer-ish).

Unreal

I’ve heard “Top 5 goaltender” all series long, but with this series Henry’s gotta be moving on up. If I needed to win a game, I’m taking Lundqvist. The only other goalie who has a case is Luango right now.

YOu're lucky

I only get the game on VS and the only thing I heard was Ovechkin. Nothing else……

These guys are so gritty...

You’d think David Eckstien was on the team.

Very good point on running a man short. Something needs to be done to get Avery’s head on straight

Are lobotomies legal?

And if so, what’s the recovery time?

Just want to let everyone know…my wife took her Avery Jersey off the back of the couch before game 3. I made her put it back tonight…found my anchor!

Where in the bible does it say that a man can't fire off some knuckle-children in the privacy of his own neighbor's living room while his neighbor's at work because I don't have a DVD player?
