'The last 2 playoffs have provided hattricks that double your pleasure." Beninati
ReplyDeleteits 1/2 hour to game time and he's making my blood pressure rise
@kt It's him or screaming Steve Kolbe...
ReplyDeleteAt least I don't have to be jealous of national viewers getting Sam Rosen for the Caps game tonight.
Versus (w/ Rosen) is airing Bruins-Sabres.
Beninati on Ovechkin and Backstrom:
ReplyDelete"These 2 championship thoroughbreds..."
what championship?
Scoring championships...doesn't mean a damn thing.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a long night and the game hasn't even started.
Kevin Pollock and Kelly Sutherland are the refs, I don't expect a lot of power plays.
ReplyDeletePossible cross-check by the Caps let go.
ReplyDelete1 thing about the NHL: I can't rip the refs by name they way I do NFL or college basketball refs.
ReplyDeleteGood shift from Backstrom and co.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete8 of the last 9 Caps-Habs games decided by a goal, 5 in OT.
ReplyDeleteHello, pepto-bismol.
Nice defensive hustle by Semin to stop that rush, hell has frozen over.
ReplyDeleteCaps power play!
ReplyDelete1-0 Sabres, Grier w/ the goal
ReplyDeletethe Caps power play is in a deep freeze
ReplyDeletegood to see 2009 Varlamov back in goal
ReplyDeleteI stepped away and obviously they didn't score. They've stunk on the PP in the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteVarlamov makes the save with his mask but Caps penalty.
ReplyDeleteMontreal Power Play, cross checking on Washington
ReplyDeleteVARLY!
ReplyDeletethese Montreal fans are ridiculous. they want a penalty every time a Cap breathes on a Canadien
ReplyDeleteCaps kill the penalty off
ReplyDeleteWe killed the penalty!
ReplyDeleteWideman ties it for Boston. 1-1
ReplyDeleteCaps power play. Tripping on Plekanec
ReplyDeleteTripping on Montreal as Joe B and Locker talk about a guy named Screwy.
ReplyDeleteI don't make it up, folks.
Our power play sucks.
ReplyDeletethe Caps power play really sucks right now.
ReplyDeleteJoe B and Locker now want a penalty on the Canadiens anytime a Cap player is knocked down. /Hometown biased
ReplyDeleteForget breathing, if a Cap is in the area code of a Hab player, the fans get pissed.
ReplyDelete"[The fans]should be wearing zebra stripes" Beninati
ReplyDelete0-0 in Montreal end 1
ReplyDeletegreat period from Varlamov
I rather have Gord/Pierre on the call than Joe B.
ReplyDelete1-1 in Boston end 1
ReplyDeleteMike Keenan is no Bobby Knight when it comes to TV.
ReplyDeleteIt's laundry time then it's hockey time. About time.
ReplyDelete@flmesfn12 I'm a Caps fan and I agree. Too cute w/ the cliches and dumbing down on a local broadcast.
ReplyDeleteI understand simplifying on a national broadcast but it sounds like Hockey 101 every game.
There's a clear difference comparing us to other local broadcasts.
cue the bandwagon fans cracks from JFein...
ReplyDeleteDon't mention Redskins quarterbacks, guys.
ReplyDeletePower Play to Montreal, penalty on Fleischmann
ReplyDeleteKNUBLE!! SHORTY!! 1-0 CAPS!
ReplyDeleteFleischmann called that penalty on himself, dumb hook in the offensive zone.
ReplyDeleteSCORE!!!!!! KNUBLE MAKES UP FOR FLASH'S STUPIDITY!!!!!!!
"that's the kind of penalty killing the Caps need" Laughlin
ReplyDeleteno kidding
Gordon with the shortie to take the lead 1-0 for Caps.
ReplyDeleteGordon played for the Red Deer Rebels. Pierre'd
Gordon gets credit, he and Knuble made up for Flash!!! That's teamwork.
ReplyDeleteGordon got the goal, not Knuble
ReplyDelete/bookkeeping'd
it was Beninati's fault for calling out Knuble
ReplyDeletethe Caps really need to stop being so unselfish
ReplyDeleteSemin with a shoulder check!
ReplyDeleteVarly stones Gomez.
Flash stinks tonight, shoot don't pass!
@kt Pierre just called them out on it. He thinks they are way too pretty right now.
ReplyDeleteSHOOT THE PUCK!!!!!!! Rant over.
ReplyDelete@flmesfn12 Does he have any mancrushes yet?
ReplyDeleteLucic or Boynton just ran over Ellis.
ReplyDeleteGOAL!!!!!!LAICH MAKES IT 2-0
ReplyDeleteSCORE!!!! LAICH FROM WAY OUT W/ FEHR IN FRONT!!!!!
ReplyDelete@Al He just went off on Boyd Gordon after the 1st goal
ReplyDelete"It's not crackling in here anymore." - Gord Miller after the Caps made it 2-0.
ReplyDeleteVARLY OWNS POULIOT!!!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, Good things happen when you get the puck to the net. /Edzo'd
ReplyDeletePierre with his typical CHL team drop. He just mentioned that Carlson played for the London Knights.
ReplyDeletei'm shocked, shocked JFein isn't using a CSN-DC stream...
ReplyDeleteKostitsyn not on target, thankfully.
ReplyDeleteFEHR!!!! 3-0
ReplyDeleteGOODBYE HALAK
Varly at one end and Eric Fehr at the other!!!! 3-0!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere we go. Pierre's mancrush on Carey Price is going to begin.
ReplyDeleteDamn. 3-0 Caps and it's Carey Price time.
ReplyDeleteTime to switch to Buffalo-Boston!
Halak, SEE YOU LATER!!!!!! /Bob Carpenter'd
ReplyDeleteChimera isn't buying Lapierre's offer to fight. Good discipline.
@ kt: Unfortunately, I am yet to find a CSN-DC stream.
ReplyDeleteThat would be the only thing saving this game.
TFC lost again yesterday. Help me.
ReplyDeleteGo Canucks!
"The Caps have driven Halak to cover"
ReplyDeletesmug Beninati has arrived in Montreal
3-0 Caps, halfway through game 3.
ReplyDeleteBeninati just called out Carcillo for being in a fight w/ Talbott that rallied Pittsburgh to last year's Cup
ReplyDeleteInterference penalty against Buffalo.
ReplyDeleteDean Brown is so dull. Worst announcer CBC has.
@ kt: Seriously? He brought that up? Ugh.
ReplyDeleteBecause creaming Max Talbot in a fight at home when up 3-0 is the reason the Pens got several lucky bounce goals that enabled them to come back and beat the Flyers, amirite?
Joe Beninati and Eddie Olczyk are complete asses.
And the Nats lead 5-2 over COL, LG, life's good.
ReplyDeleteOkay, there's my 10 seconds of smugness.
@JFein yup. he was trying to praise Jason Chimera for not getting into a fight/ Laperriere and that was the example he used.
ReplyDeleteOVIE!!! 4-0
ReplyDelete"Just a tremendous onslaught by this Caps offense...what a dart by that Ovechkin to the top shelf" Laughlin
ReplyDeleteOVECHKIN TOP SHELF!!!!! 4-0!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere was this play in D.C. where we needed to come from 3 goals down to win 1 home game.
Habs look out of it after the Shortie from Gordon. That will make it 5 straight home playoff losses for them.
ReplyDelete"Carey Price stops that one, but moments ago he was not match for The Great Eight." Beninati
ReplyDeleteIt's sad I am watching this Buffalo-Boston game, isn't it? And no Jack Edwards stream either. :-(
ReplyDelete@kt I agree w/ not wanting to get suckered into either a bad penalty or bringing the crowd alive if you're the Caps.
ReplyDeleteStill our announcers are very smug.
MON penalty, cross-check on Gionta.
Caps power play...cross check on Gionta
ReplyDelete"Gionta was giving it to him from behind..."
/out of context'd
@ SSR: You're right. Good grief Dean Brown is dull.
ReplyDeleteIt was a soft call considering 3 guys were on top of another Cap in the crease if you were going to penalize Montreal.
ReplyDelete@flmesfn12 You're right, everything changed after Gordon's goal.
@Al i agree that Chimera has been smart, but the analogy to the Philly series last year is complete revisionist history, as JFein says
ReplyDelete1-1 after 2 in Boston.
ReplyDeletePrice made a good save on that Knuble knuckleball shot.
ReplyDeleteCaps power play still powerless
ReplyDeleteCaps will get another chance, goalie interference and unsportsmanlike conduct on Plekanec..
ReplyDeleteHabs are self destructing
@kt Yup, the good news is Versus has at least 2 games next round exclusively if the Caps advance.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, Beninati isn't involved.
Plekanec gets a double minor for slashing and unsportsmanlike conduct.
Classic Jacques Martin. Teams don't really show up in the playoffs. Just ask Sens fans.
ReplyDeleteMy mistake, goalie interference and unsportsmanlike. I saw a slashing motion by the ref.
ReplyDeletethat was an awesome 2nd period from the guys in white
ReplyDelete4-0 Caps after 2 periods.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm not assuming they're advancing after tonight but pointing out that CSN wouldn't televise every game next round.
We could have some objective announcing...
local CSN anchor showing a big hit in the Boston game: "that'll jar your preserves"
ReplyDeletePerfect.....no Andrew Alberts starting tonight. Hopefully he has no ice minutes.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, the Caps played like a team who won the President's Trophy, dominating period.
ReplyDelete"Look at this Hall-of-Fame swing, kids." -Rob Dibble on Todd Helton
ReplyDeleteNobody in the D.C./MD/VA area is watching the Nats game...except me.
Wouldn't it be funny if Carey Price was the Flyers goalie next year. The sad part is, I think the kid has potential and, above all else, might just need a change in location.
ReplyDeleteCarey Price to the Flyers is a real possibility, by the way.
@Al i'm sure I'll be the only person up at 1 am watching the Orioles and Mariners...
ReplyDeleteCaps are only out-shooting the Habs 21-18, I think it would be more if they shot instead of pass on some rushes.
ReplyDelete@kt I might if the Canucks-Kings game is decided.
ReplyDeleteVersus lucked out tonight, BUF-BOS is a tie game and WAS-MON is a blowout.
Last night, the Versus early game was a blowout.
well my night got a little worse:
ReplyDeleteKyle Singler is coming back to Duke for his senior season
Now the Versus picture on Comcast-Montgomery County is flickering between the game and a black screen.
ReplyDeleteMILLERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! /Rick Jeanneret'd
ReplyDeleteIt's basically time for Monday Night Raw...I mean Smackdown
ReplyDeleteVincent Damphousse looks like he wants to beat up some Caps. Dude looks pissed
ReplyDelete@kt I'm going to pretend I didn't read that.
ReplyDeleteLaich called for hooking. still nothing doing on the Caps PP
ReplyDeleteBrooks Laich for hooking, 4-on-4.
ReplyDelete@Al the GMan is already calling back to back
ReplyDeletePlekanec scores. 4-1
Plekanec on the rebound of his own shot, 4-1.
ReplyDeleteBoudreau better light the team up. Comebacks can happen, see game 2.
Martin Brodeur should not have been a Vezina finalist.
ReplyDeleteAnderson or Howard would be better off in there. Regardless, I think Miller is the easy winner this year.
Icing Caps.
ReplyDeleteThe chance that every series starts out tied like they all did this year is less than .3%.
ReplyDeleteTalk about amazing and incredible.
@JFein Anderson isn't a finalst? Forget last night, the Avs are outshot in every game. That's reputation on Brodeur being named a finalist.
ReplyDeleteCammalieri just missed, can we play like it's the 2nd period?
ReplyDeleteBoudreau calls TO, good move.
Knuble to the box for high sticking
ReplyDeleteKnuble takes a penalty, not what we needed.
ReplyDeleteVARLY! Then, Carlson!
ReplyDeletegood penalty kill for the Caps
ReplyDeletePenalty killed!
ReplyDeleteRaw is great stuff right now.
ReplyDeleteRecchi knocks down Kennedy and sets up Bergeron. 2-1 B's.
ReplyDelete@flmesfn sorry, but I was never into wrestling, even when I was a little kid
ReplyDeleteLots of penalties in Boston, big fight. Secera and Sobotka were one bout.
ReplyDeleteBoston leads the Sabres 2-1. Wow.
ReplyDelete@ Al: Amazing, isn't it? It's Miller, Bryzgalov, and Brodeur. The 1st 2 are obvious, and Brodeur got in on name only. He has the shutouts but otherwise his numbers do not compare with the others.
ReplyDeleteKnuble back to the box for Goalie Interference
ReplyDeleteand cue the whining from Beninati and Laughlin
It's 4-1 Caps, guys... (@Beninati and Laughlin)
ReplyDeleteand now a hook on Kostitsyn
ReplyDeleteI think the guys are happy w/ THAT penalty call, 4-on-4.
ReplyDeleteMontreal almost scored an own goal...
ReplyDelete2 minutes left in Boston, Buffalo can't get in.
ReplyDeleteBoston is 44.1 away from shocking Buffalo yet again.
ReplyDeleteRask covers it up, under a minute.
ReplyDeleteBUF empty net, 44.7 left
ReplyDelete@JFein I'm not too shocked. Without Vanek the Sabres have basically no O.
ReplyDeleteGame over. Bruins win.
ReplyDeleteHOLY CRAP RASK!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete@JFein Who knew the Bruins would be creating more excitement than the Red Sox?
ReplyDelete@ flmesfn: The same can be said with Boston and Savard.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I have ripped the Burins this week as the worst playoff team in the field of 16, if they can win the series and if Rask can keep playing like this, watch out, this could suddenly become a real dangerous team. There are whispers that Savard could return in the 2nd round.....
Of course, Versus goes to commercial instead of staying in crazy Boston for a couple of minutes.
ReplyDeleteYOU HAVE HALF AN HOUR UNTIL YOUR NEXT GAME, IDIOTS!!!!!!
roughing penalty on Laperriere
ReplyDeleteplease score a power play goal...
and Beninati, please never say anything in French ever again
Lapierre to the box, WSH power play.
ReplyDeleteFans leaving Bell Centre.
Beninati and Laughlin are really cocky tonight.
Bulls lead the Cavs 65-64 in the 3rd quarter.
ReplyDeleteBradley makes it 5-1...
ReplyDeleteBradley! 5-1 Caps.
ReplyDeleteCaps score again.
ReplyDeleteAt least some things are back to normal in these Stanley Cup playoffs.
a throughly enjoyable 5-1 Caps win...
ReplyDeleteCaps win 5-1 and lead the series 2-1.
ReplyDeleteNats win 5-2, back over .500, good sports night.
ReplyDeleteTied at 74 in Cleveland, late 3rd QTR.
ReplyDelete@ kt and Al: I hope your Caps did not just literally cause the destruction of Montreal....
ReplyDeleteOff to Nucks Misconduct to enjoy/cry for the Canucks win/loss.
ReplyDelete1-0 Canucks early, missed the goal for dinner.
ReplyDeleteNow that I've got my laundry all squared away, I can enjoy the Vancouver-L.A. game
ReplyDeleteLebron is taking over, 15 pts in the last 6 minutes, 40 for the game! 107-98 Cavs and less than a minute.
ReplyDelete110-100 Cavs, 33 seconds left. This series is over. Bulls are not winning 4 of 5 from Cleveland.
ReplyDeleteDoughty ties it at 1 for the Kings!
ReplyDeleteEhrhoff for slashing, Kings power play.
ReplyDeleteDoughty scores! Game tied!
The greatness that is Drew Doughty.
ReplyDeleteHe played his junior hockey for the Guelph Storm. Pierre'd
O'Donnell for high-sticking. Canucks power play.
ReplyDeletePenalty killed, under a minute in the 1st.
ReplyDeleteI don;t think kt1000 will stay up until 1:00 AM for the Orioles game, 7-0 Seattle in the 3rd.
ReplyDeletePoor team, I thought they would be competitive this year. There was legit optimism too from some baseball people.
Dan Boyle's own goal has now gotten 205,678 hits on YouTube. Yep. He's gone viral.
ReplyDeleteKeith will soon kill me if I keep posting stuff on this, but I swear it keeps getting better.
ReplyDeleteListen as Gus Johnson's long lost twin calls the Boyle own goal on the Avs radio broadcast.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IpaAYMWpjs
Handzus, another LA power play goal, 2-1.
ReplyDelete"They have the Canucks penalty killing perplexed and bewildered." -Razor
It's all Kings right now...
ReplyDeleteStoll slashing, big chance for the Canucks to get back into the game.
ReplyDeleteI remember when Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson would invade my video game...
ReplyDelete@ Al: Razor is the man. The only feeds I can find are CBC feeds with Hughson/Simpson.
ReplyDeleteKings special teams>Canucks special teams
ReplyDeleteQuick robs Grabner.
3-1 Kings as I watched Bruce Boudreau yell at the Caps during a recent practice in a CSN behind-the-scenes feature.
ReplyDeleteSimpson is a very good nuts and bolts analyst but not exciting,
4-1 KINGS!!!!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap.
Oh my gosh Andrew Raycroft is about to enter the net.
ReplyDeleteThe Kings have a real potential of getting 9 goals this game, don't they?
Richardson made Rome and Luongo feel like they werer in quicksand, 4-1 Kings.
ReplyDelete@JFein I'm watching Jazz/Nuggets now. Vancouver is pulling a Montreal from earlier.
ReplyDeleteJerry Sloan just got a technical foul.
Samuelsson, 4-2. I keep missing goals.
ReplyDeleteno hitter thru 6 in Seattle
ReplyDeleteshoot. me. now.
I didn't even notice Ian Eagle calling the Nuggets-Jazz game. I think this is the first time he's worked for TNT.
ReplyDeleteRough stuff at the end of the period starting with Kesler and Smyth.
ReplyDelete4-2 LA after 2 periods.
@kt I just heard about it on Sportscenter. They have 3 innings...there's hope (I think).
ReplyDeleteUtah up 8, largest lead, on Denver nearing halftime.
ReplyDeletenow the O's can go back to regular sucking
ReplyDeleteUtah by 12, Billups looked like he got all ball but was called for the foul by Ken Mauer, Tom Heinsohn's favorite ref. /Sarcasm
ReplyDelete@kt THEY HAVE A HIT!!! Okay, the excitement is gone.
ReplyDeleteCSN is replaying Washington Post Live from earlier as usual in this timeslot and they're previewing game 3 of the Caps-Canadiens series.
ReplyDeleteI think the Caps are going to bounce back and win, I'm predicting 5-1.
Burrows with the quick backhand wraparound, off Daniel Sedin's skate and in.
ReplyDeleteUnder review.
Long review delay, it should count, no distinct kicking motion.
ReplyDeleteThis is close.
ReplyDeleteIt will all come down to how much Gary Bettman likes the Canucks. You can cut the tension with a knife folks.
Can we make Peckham and Reaugh, the #2 team for the conference finals?
ReplyDeleteHilarious discussion about trying to tell Henrik and Daniel Sedin apart.
NO GOAL! I'm shocked.
NO GOAL!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGary Bettman hates the city of Vancouver. Personally, i disagree and Jim and Craig agree with me.
@JFein Gary Bettman hates the Canucks.
ReplyDeleteDANIEL SEDIN!!! THAT'S A NO DOUBTER!!!!!! CANUCKS WITHIN ONE!!!
ReplyDelete"This one for Daniel Sedin will count!" -Peckham
ReplyDelete4-3 Kings now.
@ Al: I am not a big Peckham fan, but Daryl Reaugh is awesome. I wish I had a Versus feed just to hear him.
ReplyDeleteOh well. I am assuming he will get a conference final again so I will wait my turn and listen to him then.
Oh no we're on the power play.
ReplyDelete@JFein yes, but then you'll be stuck w/ Beninati as well
ReplyDelete
