Not much happened for the Caps, but it was not bad news. The Leafs lost to the Blackhawks. This means the Maple Leafs are still 5 points behind the 8th place Caps (and stay in 10th place.)
Thursday will be the back backer. The Jets and Panthers will play each other. Yeah, it's going to be tough to watch.

What does Today's game mean to the Caps 2/29
Islanders @ Capitals
Yes they did! A 3 - 2 win over the Islanders in OT. Of course, spotting the Islanders a 2 - 0 lead and going 0 - 4 on the Power Play is not good. But going 3 - 3 on the PK is.
Everyone's favorite whipping boy Jeff Schultz was a -1 in just over 14 minutes of ice time tonight.
In other action, the Panthers beat the Maple Leafs 5 - 3.
The Caps are now in 8th place, 1 point ahead of the Jets (who are in 9th) and 4 points of the 10th place Maple Leafs. And for those who are wondering, they are 5 points behind 7th place New Jersey.
As for the SE Division lead, they are 3 points behind the Panthers.
And for the guy wearing the South Carolina Sting Rays Neuvy jersey, you rule.

What does Today's game mean to the Caps 2/27
Not bad news for the Capitals tonight. The Jets lost to the Oilers 5 - 3. The Capitals are still in 9th and 1 point behind the Jets for the last playoff spot, but they have 3 games in hand.
In other news, the Capitals did not make any trades today. The good news is they did not over pay for an "upgrade", but the bad news, they did not pick up any pieces for a playoff run OR for the future.

What does Today's game mean to the Caps 2/26
Well, the Panthers beat the Habs 4 - 2. This means the Caps are now 3 points behind the Panthers for the SE Division lead. (They are still 1 point behind the Jets for the 8th spot in the playoffs.)
Also, the Lightning beat the Devils, so they are 10th place and 2 points behind the Caps.
The Wait and See game. So much fun, isn't it?

Capitals @ Maple Leafs
Yes they did. A 4 - 2 winner over the Maple Leafs. Though, they were up 4 - 0 after 2 and gave up 2 goals in the 3rd. Not exactly playing 60 minutes a commitment. But hey, a win is a win.
In other news. the Jets lost in a SO to the Blues and the Panthers beat the Hurricanes in a SO.
This means the Capitals stay in 9th, but are now 1 point behind the division leading Panthers and 1 point behind the 8th place Jets. Oh, And 2 points ahead of the 10th place Maple Leafs.
And now, the wait and see game.

Canadiens @ Capitals
Yep. A 4 - 1winner over the Habs. The Caps are now in 9th place. They are tied in points with the Maple Leafs but have the tie breaker.
The Caps did look good, but they gave up a short handed goal. Oh, and they were outshot 31 - 23. Come on guys, Neuvy had a great game but you can't always relay on the goalie. You have to do a better job controlling the puck.
The Capitals are 1 point behind 8th place Florida and 2 points behind Division leading Winnipeg.

What does Today's game mean to the Caps 2/23
Well tonight was good for the Capitals (though, it could have been worse.)
Jets beat the Lightning, which means they are now in 1st of the Southeast. They lead the Caps (who are in 10th) by 4 points. (But the Capitals still lead the Lightning by 3 points.)
The Panthers lost in a shootout to the Wild, so the Capitals trail the now 8th place Panthers by 3 points.
Maple Leafs lost to the Sharks. They fall to 8th and lead the Caps by 2 points.
Bottom line, Caps are now 4 points out of the division lead, 3 behind the last playoff spot.
The Caps have 22 games left, so there is plenty of time. Now if Hamrlik and Hunter would just get along.
