Looks like Olie the Goalie had a damn good game tonight! A shut out! He had 28 saves!!!! I told you Olie was the man!

I hope you did well in whatever pool you're in. I still think the Caps are gonna go all the way! :)

[Sabre Ally]

Yep....all the way to the second round.

[MissBuffalo]

Ally, I agree. Eugh...the Cap's get under my skin for some reason. I think it has to do with when the Sabres played them in Eastern Conference Finals.

[BironsGirl43]

Woohoo.. I'm so pumped.. I got the last pick so I took the risk with Olie.. and boy did he please me tonight!!

A win is awesome.. but a shutout to boot.. that's bonus!! WOOO..

And you know what else is great?

Robert Lang is my other guy from Washington and he scored the 2 goals.. hahaha.. simply awesome..

THANK YOU WASHINGTON!!!

I hope this turns out to be a steal..... :)

You never know, Ally. They could go farther. The Caps don't really bother me. The players are never in the media for doing stupid things, like some of Washington's other professional teams. I kinda like them, although I'm not crazy about their uniform.

BironsGirl, glad to hear the Caps came through for you. :) Hopefully they're on a roll now. :)

Can't you girls use the PM function? Sheesh.

This is a legitimate thread about hockey. :) And what are you doing reading it anyway? Since when is your name BironsGril?

[Rude American]

Girls know nothing about hockey. They only repeat what they heard on the radio that morning.

[LtBillsFan66]

That goes for more than just hockey Rude.

How do you guys know I didn't actually watch the game last night?

For your information, I watched the end of the third period. And, I saw three fights happen in the last seconds of the game. I also watched half the Leafs game on Wednesday night! And, I plan on watching the third period of a game tonight. So there! I really do watch sports on TV.

I also much interject that I know several females who have more hockey players stats in thier head going further back in time than I do (and they understand what the stats mean). So that whole "girls don't know sports" thing may be the general rule, but there are a good number of exceptions out there. ;-)

[pcnorth22]

just a note about the caps (and teams that people from Buffalo like/don't like respect/don't respect)... I live down in the DC area and made it to both of the Sabres/Caps games....

I can't stand the fans here!!! I mean, you know tru hockey fans when you see them, and they aren't here. sure, there are a few but the way I judge a team is by their fans. I mean, coming from Buffalo, I hate the Bruins, the Flyers, and the Stars, but I respect the first two because their fans know hockey.....

Caps fans don't know hockey (but then again, I'm sure Lighting fans don't know hockey either)

Thanks, WereRat! Honestly, I don't know much about hockey at all. But, I'm sure BironsGirl, Ally and MissB could give the guys here a run for their money. Those girls are true hockey fans who know their stuff. I'm just learning. :)

[Rude American]

I'd smoke any girl in any contest.... fighting, IQ tests, darts, billiards, grab-ass, you name it.

[Earthquake Enyart]

BG and MissB know more that some clowns who still "play the game"

[Rude American]

True, but not me. I say things before the announcers. I sad Cujo had a lot of bad luck early in the year and few agreed. Then, Mick and Ken had Scotty Bowman in the booth and he said the exact same thing. Thank you, Scotty. Great hockey minds think alike.

[Rude American]

EE, did you ever play? Just wondering how you're so astute when it comes to hockey.

[Rude American]

you make accurate predictions. Is it luck or skill?

I highly doubt that. First of all, girls don't fight, so you'd win that one by default. As far as the rest of your list goes, I'd kick your sorry @ss in at least two outta three of them.

[Rude American]

I'm sure you'd LOVE to try your luck at a game of grab-ass with me, but honey, it aint gonna happen.
