Lots of AOL problems tonight, I'm late.

Score is 1-1- Devs jumped out on top, Backstrom got the Caps even.

1-1, end 1st.

Caps almost had another right before the end of the period, but it went in after the whistle, and didn't even go to review.

The Caps score right off the bat in the 2nd, Jeff Schultz with the tally.

2-1, Caps.

NJ has maybe 4 SOGs in the 2nd....

1:52 left, Erskine the shot, Weekes gives up a rebound to his left, and Laing fires it into the open net!

3-1 Caps!

3-1 Caps, end 2nd.

Not for long....

:52 into the 3rd, a puck gets by Kolzig and in.... under review for a kicking motion....

it doesn't count!

Still 3-1, Caps....

But not for long..... 17:42 left in regulation, Clarkson brings the puck around from behind the net and stuffs it right through Kolzig. This one counts.

3-2, Caps.

Last minute....

EN for the Devils....

3-2 Caps, final.

Good game again. We may be going somewhere this way. Still dead last in the league, but good reasons to hope. If we maintain ourselves above .500, we can make the playoffs, I think.

5 of the Caps' 11 wins happened under Boudreau (9 games out of 30). 5-3-1, it's like a dream, hehe. 11 out of 18 possible points.

Goals by Backstrom, Schultz and Laing. Backstrom and Schultz already scored last Saturday, and Green was on fire. The kids are having fun, it can't be better than this. And a good Kolzig again.
