Game 39: Tampa Bay Lightning @ Washington Capitals

In a game that the Caps need, they are down 2 - 1 at one point, but then . . .

Capitals 4 Lightning 2

Game 4: Washington Capitals @ New Jersey Devils

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).

Game 3: Montreal Canadians @ Washington Capitals

I guess the Caps like to play short handed.  They had 7 penalties.  They lost to the Habs 4 - 1.

The scary part, they outshot Montreal 31 - 22.

I am not sure if this is the Washington Capitals or the Washington Generals.
