Let's hope they can pick it up in the third. They kind of came apart in the middle of the 2nd period. They have got to get better at getting the puck out of their own end. That just kills this team at times. That powerplay is atrocious also. I have no idea what they need to do to get that fixed. It's just a mess.

From what I've been hearing, he was close to be traded two games ago (hence the benching), then it died a bit, now the phones are going off again (San Jose). I was told that if he's benched tonight, it's about a 95% shot he's gone.

We will get absolutely nothing for him right now. His reputation is not exactly the best around the league.

That was vintage Ovechkin! What a move!!!! When Ovechkin is on, he does stuff that no one else in this league can do. That includes the twit in Pittsburgh.

OV looked like the OV from 2009-10. Also..sick shot by Backstrom on the tying goal. There was absolutely nothing Anderson could do on that one.

Pretty good representation up there...embassy people or traveling fans?  Flights to Canadian cities tend to be pretty $$$, so props to them if the latter.

Usually our fans only travel along the east coast, usually from Carolina to Buffalo. I have seen some to Detroit, but that's about it. Capitals are a powerhouse so naturally they (or should I say Ovechkin) have a nice bandwagon following too.

Just saw the ovie goal on espn. Wow. That stop was ridiculous. I can't spray that much snow on skis. That is good ice illustrated. Fine snow spray. Unlike the tossed slushy at vzc. The physical tools are there. Just has to get his mind right. Someoneneeds to redo the obama hope portrait with ovies pic. Its been done with text that says ovie

Dennis Wideman  :clap: :clap: :clap: 

Caps look good tonight. I'm cautiously optimistic that DH has them headed in the right direction.

What a top notch guy that Wideman!  Denies hat trick.  Says puck went off Laich's shin!

Bigger disappointment this season: Ward or Vokoun?

Vokoun couldn't be having a worse year. Theodore was never this bad here.

 I can't believe McPhee freaked this up. We had all this goalie depth just a season or two ago and now we have arguably the worst goaltending situation in the NHL.

I guess I'm just not very impressed with him. He doesn't have any really special skills or do anything really well. But I guess that's what he has always been throughout his career. Poor signing.

Just disappointed in this team as a whole. Will have to fight and claw for the rest of the season just at a hope for the 8th seed in the East and the right to get swept by Philly in first round.
