Game 6 Washington Capitals @ Ottawa Senators

First, a letter:

Dear Washington Capitals,

Please keep the puck on the other side of the ice.

Love,
The Caps Goalies


Anyways, Caps blow a 2 - 0 lead to fall to the Ottawa Senators 3 - 2.  

The Caps are now 1 - 4 - 1.   At least they are doing better than the Columbus Blue Jackets New York Islanders  Florida Panthers

Game 5 Buffalo Sabres @ Washington Capitals

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.

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. 

Game 2: Jets @ Capitals

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.

Capitals @ Lightning

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.

Flyers @ Capitals from last night and tonight's meaning. 3/5

You all know what happened.  The Caps got shut out 1 - 0 by the man who talks about humungous big universes.  Neuvy played well and only gave up 1 goal, but the offense must have thought it would be great to do an impression of me in high school and not score.

The Jets beat the Sabres, so this means the Caps stay in 9th, but are now 3 points behind the 8th place Jets.  They are also 1 point ahead of the 10th place Lightning and Sabres and 2 points ahead of the 12 place Leafs.

Oh the drama.

And for those who are wondering, the Capitals are 5 points behind the Panthers for the SE lead.
