el tortuga versus Ovechkin

go wackets

>all those empty seats

kek, it's pretty packed.

The fuck is with this video quality? Can Columbus not afford decent cameras?

Might be the lighting.

Jeez, this is fucking boring hockey so far.

Is it just me, or are the Caps really, really gunshy on offense this year?

>this is fucking boring hockey so far.

what the hell man?? watch the game, you might learn something! have a wider picture of what's going on, don't just consume hype. How can it be boring?

I have been watching the game, it's a prime showcase of offensive ineptitude.

They were dicking with electric I think.

The whole arena actually has some really shitty electrical problems.

are you sure it's not defensive efficiency?

Yes. Extended zone time without any good chances is bad offense, not good defense.

ah, but there was an opportunity just now!

Looks like both sides are just waiting to capitalize on somebodies mistake

Is it me or is torts a Manlet or is Jody Shelly 6'10"

Jay Beagle is the best.

>the whole city has electrical problems

FTFY

I'd be cool with AEP using some of that sweet sponsorship money to fix their shit. Can't tell if they're a sponsor of the Jackets if I can't see the fucking game.

They are a sponsor of the NHL not the jackets

Didn't think gagner had those moves

someone steam....and no, firstrow sucks, always

>Backstrom scores tonight

1 for 3!

>That stoic Swedish face

Do Swedes actually have emotions?

Actually, now that I look at it, it's just really bad gibbs ringing, which is probably the result of this getting passed through some terrible video codec at some point.

Ugh.

You realize all swedes are robots created by the Danes

i say this sadly. i think the caps are going to take this game

the fact Atkinson just missed that shot shows how the bjs aren't ready for this game

GOD DAMNIT

SAFE IS DEATH

fuck, why is our blue line suddenly being all cautious all the sudden?

well now we gots a game

SCARRRRRRRR WERENSKI

Talk about dirty goals, holy shit.

That was just about the ugliest thing I've seen all week.

BASED TORTS GREAT CHALLENGE IT SHOULD BE 1-1

Bullshit, player is allowed to enter before the puck if he's controlling it (which he clearly was).

Terrible call by the refs.

He wasn't controlling if it was 2 feet off his stick

That off sides...
ha!

I thought that was a morale challenge desu

Doesn't matter. He never lost control of the puck. Pucks move that far off of sticks all the time while skating.

If an opposing player had been anywhere near poking it away, maybe, but that was a cheapie and you know it.

This was not under control sorry

When he was the last player to touch the puck, yes it is.

This has been Ana amazing game

I'll take a point for now. Hoping for 2, but a point is a point...

Damn, that was a good look

IL TAKE TWO PLEASE

...

...

Shut yer yap.

Yea he's a little short but jody shelly is kinda big too.

tough break caps.

that was genuinely a great andchallenging game.

See ya next weekend

Jody is 6'3
Torts is 5'8"
He's a Manlet but a great Manlet
