    If we win, and the knights beat the pens, I’ll be a happy camper. Lfg caps

  3. taking my Blues fan partner tonight since we’re local! tried to bully them into wearing my Oshie jersey because he was drafted there but they said absolutely not 🥲

  4. TheWonderMittens

    #why can’t they drop the puck on time ever

  5. MadCow_15

    anyone else hear the announcers say Backy is traveling with the team? not sure if I heard that right?

  6. Hiddenbehindawall

    It’s not a caps game if they don’t score on their first shot

  7. formerdaywalker

    Where’s the guy that complains Kemper lets in too many goals on early shots?

    That was a laser though fr

  8. formerdaywalker

    Well this isn’t going well. Looks like St. Louis woke up between games. Going to be a long night.
