I knew you liked the O's but I never would have guessed you liked them more. My username is from Matthew 6:23 "If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" Also I enjoy travelling to foreign countries by myself (as long as English isn't too widely spoken). This time last year I was headed to Egypt.

That was pathetic. Pittsburgh is missing all of those players, but instead of capitalizing on the opportunity, Washington just threw up all over themselves. There's basically no way that a team of their caliber can win out so that was probably the season. After that 6-2 game At Home, I really shouldn't be suprised, but I'm still mad. Most of all I'm disappointed in myself for actually believing things could be different this year. Well, at least I have the regular season to look forward too, that's more than some fans can say. I need to scope out a bandwagon team to pin my hopes on. I wanted it to be Montreal since Quebec is so beautiful, but that didn't work out.

Let's discuss the NHL playoffs. Tonight the Nashville Predators take on the Chicago Blackhawks and the Calgary Flames face the Anaheim Ducks. But the active game pits the Washington Capitals against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Earlier today the Nationals, Wizards, Redskins, Mystics, and Orioles wished the Capitals good luck in the playoffs. Good luck to the Capitals Currently the score is 2-0 with 7 minutes to go in the 1st period. Let's go Caps.

Forsett was one of the good ones. I'm glad that he played for my team.

Or all members could choose to say only complimentary things to each other... then no one will earn a warning. It's nice of you to consider your fellow members though. That's perfect. I have a Heap jersey but it's black and I have a pink Reed jersey. I can't decide which to wear.

Not me. I liked the first one but I'm going to wait for V2 to go to bluray.

Here's to a regression to the mean!

Yeah, but in the NHL Playoffs the Caps are generally the victims of improbably come-backs, not the victors.

Yeah Trotz should not return next season. I'm not going to pretend like I have all the answers but I don't think the Caps decision makers will let him stay after the team has failed so spectacularly year after year like this.

A 6-2 loss was about as bad as it gets despite Washington's furious first period. Poor Holtby is having a terrible series with 6 goals allowed in 2 games. Grubauer didn't fare much better with 2 in less than entire period (don't know how many shots). It's hard to picture the Caps evening things up in Pittsburgh so this series is probably lost. If the Penguins win the Cup again I will rage-quit hockey.

At this rate they'll take it in 4. You're right about this being a must win game. If the Caps can't come back from this 3-1 deficit to win this match, they are all but done.

This team has too many needs to fix within two draft rounds,

You mean they had 6 straight minutes of coverage before a break? Thats better than the games at least.

For what its worth he said that he tried to move up in the first round but it didn't work out. He might have tried today too.

Yeah... I dont think they have a bunch of different announcers on call just so they can go with a theme for their pick. That oline man probably would have said the name no matter what position was chosen.

Aren't the draft pick announcers chosen before the draft like that kid the Ravens granted a wish for or former players that they've used in the past?

He'll be a starter, but his partner will change to Humphry after Jimmy's annual injury.

Does Hooker have a bad injury history?

So Pitt is 8-1 in playoff series against Washington, but the Caps are 8-1 in game ones. Pens lead 2-1 at the start of the third.

Their O-line has as many holes as Swiss cheese. I wouldn't have a problem with an offensive lineman. Mod note: Any and all discussions about the Caps/Pens game should be posted in the NHL playoffs thread in the off-topic forum.

If this were Friday night, I'd still be annoyed by that. But it's Thursday; people have to get up for work tomorrow. But one of the benefits of the Ravens recent records is that I no longer need to stay up late to see them pick... unless they trade down. Please don't trade down.

It ticks me off when it takes 28 minutes to get the third pick in. Now that I think of it... I didn't tune in until 8:13 and Cleveland still hadn't chosen. What gives?

There's no reason not to. I don't understand why early teams take so long. Their draft board can't be shaken up very much when they're picking 1-6.

I don't know why Chicago thought they had to do that, but I'm glad they did. Now everyone else is going to catch QB fever.

I'm sorry for about what happened to your family. You bolded this part of my comment: "That kid probably barely knows him and at her age she could forget him pretty quickly." Your statement about a young child's memory (or lack thereof) would seem to agree with what I wrote previously.
