Saw lots of Caps' fans on the Metro, as I came home- for a Wednesday night, might be a decent crowd considering the Caps' recent success....

we shall see.

2:30 gone, it's a zzzzzzzzzzz game until.....

Orr and Brashear drop the gloves and square off.

Orr leads early on, but Brashear seals the deal with a solid knockdown.... both head for the box for 5:00, Orr with a swollen eye....

good start for the game.

I said zzzzz, but Kolzig did have a good stop early on, had to go from his left to right to get a toe in the way of a Ranger shot. There's 6:00 gone now, and I'd call this an even game. Boudreau has the boys ready, where Hanlon had them on their heels....

9:00 left 1st, and I guess it's entertaining.... still 0-0.

7:50 left 1st, 5 hole.....

1-0 Rangers.

6:02 left, Jagr to Straka.....

2-0.

Motzko makes it 2-1

Caps have a puck get behind Lundqvist, the D clears it, the Caps celebrate, and the ref blows the whistle.....

after a short review, it's ruled no goal.

Caps on the PP, 1:30 left 1st.

2-1 Rangers, end 1st.

The first 15:00 of the 2nd, entertaining but no real excitement....

but Motzko strikes again, and it's 2-2.

2:39 left 2nd, the Rangers go on the PP.

Killed, and eith :13.5 left it's the Caps with the PP now.

2-2, end 2nd.

Caps with 1:46 of PP to start the 3rd.

Nothing on the PP, but at 15:24 left in regulation, a shot by Green, a deflection by Ovechkin, and the Caps take the lead!

3-2 Caps

11:47 left, Straka ties it up....

3-3.

But, just over 1:00 later.............

JEFF SCHULTZ AGAIN!

4-3 Caps

7:15 or so, and a puck Olie thinks he has isn't frozen under him by the D.... out to Shanahan, into the net before Kolzig can really recover.

4-4

Caps get a late PP, nothing.... Green with a super move less than :05 left, stopped....

we have overtime.

Back and forth, in OT.............. suddenly, Shanahan loses an edge, and the puck.... Laich.... to Green......

CAPS WIN 5-4!!!!!!!

I join on and the caps win

congrats to the caps
