Do or Die

Ok folks, we're at the first intermission, so I'm going to make this quick.  I have the latest husband and brother-in-law pictures to share.  In case you haven't heard yet, the first round two game is tomorrow between Detroit and San Jose.  Caps are only down by 1 right now, two periods to take control!  Intermission is almost over, gotta run!  Go Caps!!

 

The Day After

So apparently the Capitals don't know what TCB means...Just great...I'm trying to forget that last night even happened.  Did they magnetize the puck and put another one in Halak's glove?  Ugh...Last chance is tomorrow night...Game 7.  That's all I have to say about that.

There's another game 7 tonight in Phoenix with the Coyotes taking on the Red Wings.  Should be a good game.  I think I'm pulling for the 'Yotes.  They've been a nice underdog story this season.  Just a heads up, we'll be out of town this weekend starting Friday night.  I probably won't update the blog again until Monday or Tuesday of next week.  Until then I'll continue to post updates!  And here's the latest from husband and brother-in-law.

TCB Day

Ok Caps...it's TCB Day.  Let's get things done and never see those Canadiens again...until next season.  But yeah...Things have been pretty hush-hush with the Washington Capitals this afternoon after their morning skate in Montreal.  Apparently Brucie doesn't want anyone knowing what he has up his sleeve for tonight's big game six. Quiet Line-Up

Will tonight be the night Alexander Semin finally gets his playoff goal?  Will Mike Green factor in?  Will David Steckel be the change Washington needs?  Shaone Morrisonn is expected to be back in the line-up with Tyler Sloan taking a seat this evening.  The Canadiens are expected to be dressing extra defensemen tonight.  And Scott Gomez did not skate with the Canadiens this morning but there hasn't been any word of him sitting out.  Apparently everyone is keeping things hush-hush.  Can't wait for the game to start!

Between the pipes tonight will be Semyon Varlamov for the Capitals and Jaroslav Halak for the Canadiens.  And speaking of goalies, Washington's own Jose Theodore was officially announced as a Masterton finalist today Finalist

There are three games tonight, with Boston and Buffalo also playing at 7pm this evening and Chicago and Nashville playing at 9pm.

And the latest beard pics!  Enjoy and Go Caps!!

And We're Back!

Sorry for not updating over the weekend.  Friday night was rough and I guess I just needed a bit of a breather.  But we're back!  A lot has happened since I last posted on Friday evening.  The Penguins finished off the Senators Saturday night to move on to round two.  The San Jose Sharks also won their series with Colorado, propelling them into the second round.  Daniel Sedin had the game winner for Vancouver last night, moving them past the LA Kings and into second round competition.  Then there's the Phoenix Coyotes...who will not go quietly.  They beat the Detroit Red Wings in game six Sunday afternoon to force a game seven back in Phoenix.  The Blackhawks beat the Predators on Saturday afternoon, taking a 3-2 lead in the series.  Game six will be tonight at 9PM.  Boston also has a 3-2 lead in their series with Buffalo.  They could wrap up round one with a win tonight at home.  Then there's the Capitals.  They took a pretty crappy loss on Friday evening at home against the Montreal Canadiens.  Game six will also be this evening at 7PM, in Montreal.  And I think we're updated!  By the end of the week we'll have our round two match-ups!

I took a beard picture on Saturday evening but never posted it.  I also have a new one from the brother-in-law.  The debate was settled and he admitted to being wrong about calling it a playoff beard because, in fact, he is a bandwagon jumper.  Glad to hear Steve is back on the beard wagon!  I hope the Sharks can keep it up!  Looking forward to a Sharks/Caps Cup finale!

This is the husband on Saturday evening.  I will take a new one tonight around game time.

And here's the latest from the brother-in-law.  Taken this morning.
