RT @WaltonCaps: Braden Holtby chatting with media in dressing room, he's getting the start tonight against #Buffalo.


Joe Buscaglia ‏ @JoeB_WGR
The young Holtby, who has 4 starts this season, is coming off a shutout over the Wild on Sunday. #Sabres


Holtby is 2-0-1 with a 1.30 goals-against average and .955 save percentage since the call-up, numbers that have boosted the Capitals' confidence in the rookie. The team is expected to start him again tonight when the Buffalo Sabres visit Verizon Center in a showdown for eighth place.

She's not going this time. My dad is going with me, so I'll have to fight my own battles.

[SabreEleven]

They'll probably be more Sabres fans then Capitals fans any ways so you might be safe.

You should lock in a LETS GO BUFFALO animation

[SabreEleven]

You should lock in a LETS GO BUFFALO animation

Do a Tyler Durden and sneak it in there....it would be better than seeing a penis except for Lecter.

[Skooby]

This should be the GDT, which it is now by official decree.

[SabreEleven]

[djjimkelly]

[Philagape]

A good night to take advantage of a rookie goalie

Hasek in his prime would have trouble behind the Caps' defense.

Vanek on an island, 3-0

[Mski]

damnit! FU Semin

[Skooby]

My sweet ****.

[SabreEleven]

We need #4 to take the momentum back.

[PTI]

Surprised really there are no fights yet.....

[Mski]

Sekera hurt?

[SabreEleven]

Surprised really there are no fights yet.....

especially with the way the Capitals are running Miller.

[SabreEleven]

Sabres are down to 4 defense men now.

[PTI]

Sabres are down to 4 defense men now.

ANd it looked for a second like Leopold may have been hurt too...

NO MORE DEEP RUSHES MYERS!!!!!

[MikeInRoch]

At this point, I might be happy if we just get out of this game alive.

[PTI]

Sulzer holds his ground pretty well.

NOT GOOD, Leopold to the box with only 3 Dmen for the penalty kill.

[Mski]

looking like they might be bringing some young dmen up from rochester for the rest of teh season

[djjimkelly]

now that pomminville goal was a delight to watch

[helmetguy]

Ovenchicken: ROASTED!

[Skooby]

Population went up by one.

[Philagape]

Ovie fumbles :snicker:

[Mski]

was that a short handed on too?

[Crisis]

****ing hugeeee goal poms

[SabreEleven]

HUGE Goal by Pominville!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mski]

"cue Billy Fucillo"

[The Jokeman]

Sabres are down to 4 defense men now.
Why do I have horrible flashbacks to the Carolina Eastern Conference finals series with comments like this?

[Skooby]

"cue Billy Fucillo"

He's down here too, Caroline's *** is HUGE !!

[PTI]

Carolina is beating up the Leafs. Hopefully they have already given up and have nothing to give in the two we play them, even though it would make all of Toronto happy to see the Leafs knock the Sabres out.

[SkateZilla]

Folingo just got thrown into the boards... isnt that a penalty, skating up behind someone and throwing them face first into the boards?

[Mski]

Folingo just got thrown into the boards... isnt that a penalty, skating up behind someone and throwing them face first into the boards?i think thats called boarding

[DrGraves]

so far so good... gotta just calm the storm thats coming down the stretch here...

[SabreEleven]

It's Miller time!!!!

[djjimkelly]

5-1 woooohooooo

[SabreEleven]

Game, Set, Stafford

[Philagape]

About a quarter of Stafford's total points this season have come in last eight games.

[Crisis]

stafford, he's so hot right now.

[SkateZilla]

Folingo has more goals in 9 games than leino has all season, same for points.

[SabreEleven]

someone must have told Miller he is playing in the Olympics.

[clumping platelets]

stafford, he's so hot right now.


:limp:

[clumping platelets]

My fantasy teams could take a Carlson goal :nod:

[PTI]

Hope this elevates the Sabres even more and deflates the Capitals.

[OpIv37]

Miller was definitely awesome. The Caps fans were all pissed at Ovie and the Sabres fans were pumped. So glad I was there.

[OpIv37]

And the officiating was terrible, especially in the 2nd. The zebras were trying to give this one back to the Caps but the Sabres had none of it.

[Skooby]

Miller was definitely awesome. The Caps fans were all pissed at Ovie and the Sabres fans were pumped. So glad I was there.

Now it's time to stop pissing in your own soup, the Sabres rocked in your presence.

[SkateZilla]

Erhoff is out (Knee to Knee)
Sekera is Out (he got run over in the slot) (he came back)
Kaleta is out (Took a slap shot to the palm)(he came back)(he had that "OW!, THAT HURT" angry look on his face when they showed it on NHL Network"

So at one point we had a real short bench, thats when Ennis-Folingo-Stafford line got more ice time.

I missed the 1st and 2nd periods but had the espn app on my phone during the drive home.

turned on comcast for the start of the 3rd.

[Mski]

I missed the 1st and 2nd periods but had the espn app on my phone during the drive home. why dont you use the WGR app so you can hear the home broadcast

[SkateZilla]

why dont you use the WGR app so you can hear the home broadcast

it dont work on my non-smart-phone.... ESPNs is easy to download from the phone's memory and edit it to work on most phones.

also have ESPN app on my ZuneHD, but there isnt WiFi on the highway yet.
