There isn’t much that can be said after a loss like that. People will find all different reasons or excuses for the Capitals to lose to the Canadiens, but it the end none of them matter. The only thing that is important is that Montreal moves on and Washington doesn’t. Hopefully this will serve as [...]
Every single series the Caps have played in since the lock out has gone to 7 games, meaning every single playoff series that Alex Ovechkin, Mike Green, Nicklas Backstrom, and many others have participated in have gone to 7 games, unfortunately they have lost 2 of them and only won one of them. I think [...]
Mike hasn’t scored a goal yet in the first 5 games, and we can see, specially in Game 4 that he’s is trying and the rest of the Caps were trying to set him up a lot to get out of his slump. The good news is, even though he hasn’t produced offensively to [...]
Sorry for being away for the past few days, but I’m back now, and I’m happy to say the series has swung in the expected direction. The Capitals won the Saturday and Monday night games. Obviously the way Mike Green played on Saturday was horrible, and nobody knows it more than him, and the difference [...]
If we remember last year in the first round the Capitals were down 3-1 in the series before they decided to start playing, yesterday was a bit of the same, although they came out strong and Halak had to be sharp early, after that it looked like they were bored and didn’t think they needed [...]
Mike made another strong push towards the Norris and showed off his defensive capabilities with a nice blocked shot, which I have to say causes some worry because he probably has a bruise now, hopefully it will heal 100% by Thursday. In his last game of the season he played over 28 and a half [...]
Washington beat the Thrashers to complete the 6 game sweep on the season. This game started with Bill Daly handing out the President’s Trophy to the team and finished with a bunch of milestones. Ovechkin got his 50th goal, Green his 75th point and Backstrom his 100th of the season. Funny enough the 50th goal [...]
Washington won 6-3 yesterday to give the caps four wins against Pittsburgh this season. Ovechkin had 2 goals and Crosby had 1 goal and 1 assist, they are both tied at 48 goals to lead the NHL. Again Mike didn’t play, official word is a healthy scratch to get some rest, but there are [...]
Last time it was due to injury, this time was to rest him for the game tonight in Pittsburgh and for the playoffs. It took overtime but the Capitals were able to beat the bruins for the third straight time this season. Theodore was solid stopping 28 of 30 shots and Ovechkin got 2 assists [...]
Sorry I’m a little late on this update, I was away for the weekend, if you don’t already know the Capitals won on Saturday 3-2 against the Blue Jackets. Mike had the game winning goal, and 4 shots in over 24 minutes of ice time. That goal put him at a new career high with [...]
