Anytime John Erskine scores, you have to win. You can not waste gold like that. (I even bought the Erskine shirt at the gift shop after the game.) Yes, John Erskine scored on Ryan Miller. The hockey gods are nuts. Caps won 3 - 2. Oh and they even got a powerplay goal! BTW, Fehr and Hendicks, please do not skate into each other.
Nope. They lost 3 - 2 in OT. The Devils did give the Caps many chances with 5 power plays in the 3rd (well ok, an extended 5 - 3 was part of that). I sort of think we should have called the Caps the Generals and start playing Sweet Georgia Brown when the Devils had the puck.
Scary stat, at one point, Wizards guard Bradley Beal had more blocks (3 at that point in the 1st quarter) than Caps goalie Michael Neuvirth had stops (2 stops on 3 shot attempts).
When Holtby looks like he can't stop a beach ball kicked by a 1st grader and the defense leaves him hanging, all I can say is "That is a negitive ghost rider" Jets 4 - Capitals 2 final. Maybe the Caps can get Jordan Crawford of the Wizards to show 3 pointers at the buzzer for them.
BTW, I am a Capitals and Wizards season ticket holder, so I do live at Verizon Center.
Hell no. Holtby allowed 6 goals. (Final score, Lightning 6 - Capitals 3) It is kind of sad tha the Wizards put up a bigger fight against the Clippers than the Caps against the Bolts.
