cannot do the game thread thingy as I gots to leave in a few but I thought I would get the ball rolling.

Thaks much, nice to see you, if only for a few.

Eric Fehr in the lineup tonight, on a line with Ovechkin and Backstrom. First 6:00 has been boring.

sidenote
spent much of the day checking out Albert King and Freddie King vids on youtube
those guys could PICK !


saw a rumor that Zednik is available and the Caps were one of the teams mentioned ........i hope not .

is Nash in the BJ's lineup ?
heard that he has the Flu(or some kind of illness).

misto says "hi!".

Albert and Freddy? I have tapes of both, never seen any live or video of them (although one of them may have played Newport 63 Folk Festival).

Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead (little Pulp Fiction reference for you).

I saw Albert live once
I think he died a few months after that FREE gig

he was tasty


send a BIG HI back at misto

Nash is in the lineup. Has 2:30 TOI so far.

getting back to your first 6 minutes were boring comment

I have always found that each and every game that the BJ's play in are Boring.
Just something about them that doesn't excite

Kings just scored against the rangers.

My all-time nightmare game: Columbus at New Jersey (or New Jersey at Columbus).

I gots to leave

Have a good one

Ciao. Foote takes on ovechkin, but gets 2:00 for roughing. Caps on the PP. Now a 2-manner for 1:42.

Nash intercepts a pass, breaks away clean, and it's 1-0 Columbus....

unbelieveably bad play by the Caps.

And now it's 2-0 quickly.....

:50 left in the 1st, Columbus goes on the PP.... :20 left, they get a 2MA of their own.

2-0 Jackets, end 1st, with lots of 2MA to come to start the 2nd.

Ovechkin Backstrom Fehr
Semin Kozlov Fleischmann
Brashear Gordon Laich
Laing Steckel Bradley

Poti Jurcina
Morrisonn Green
Schultz Erskine

Johnson
(Kolzig)

Brashear to the box.

Penalty killed.

Atlanta led 2-1 by Philadelphia, mid-game. Kovalchuk scored his 39th goal.

Florida leading 1-0 in Toronto at the first intermission, thanks to Zednik's 11th of the season.

Carolina 0 - Nashville 0, 7 minutes into the game.

Tampa is going to play in a few minutes.

Lengthy review in Columbus to see if Backstrom has scored one or not.

No goal. Still 2-0 BJ.

WOOHOO!

2-1

OVECHKIN SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORES!!!! #44.

2-1. Good.

Assist to Backstrom (2 points away now from the rookie scoring lead).

I remember that Johnson often gave up two early goals, then was a wall for the rest of the game. I hope he does it again, and our kids score a couple more.

See, that's the kind of "assist" that should never be- Backstrom passed the puck to Ovechkin in front of Johnson, and Ovechkin basically took it the length of the ice himself and scored.... I guess it counts, but it shouldn't.

Leclaire shaken by Laing and his own d-man.

Agree about the assist.

Laing to the box for this.

Well they get to try against the backup- Laing runs over LeClaire, and LeClaire is out of the game injured.

Horton adds one in Toronto and it's 2-0 Florida.

Killed.

Sounds like our own PPs are more dangerous for us. Even 5-on-3.

SEMIN SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORES!! From Fleischmann. Woohoo! 2-2.

Assists to Kozlov and Fleischmann, actually.

Goal was on first shot against Norrena, who replaced Leclaire. This is a totally different game, now. The Caps are in a good position to win it. Thank you, Laing? Hehe.

And Semin's goal makes it 2-2, end 2nd.

Norenna:

ASSETS: Owns a plethora of top-shelf experience in big games. Good lateral movement - able to move quickly from one side of the net to the other.

FLAWS: Tends to go down a little early. Is too aggressive to become a legitimate No.1 in the NHL.

CAREER POTENTIAL: No. 2 goaltender.

Had a good season last year (24-25-3, 2.78, 90.4%).

Still at 90% this season in 23 games, 2.64 GAA.

Bad to give up a goal on the first shot you face, though. Especially an important one.

Nash on the breakaway, beats Johnson. 3-2 Blue Jackets.

Just before the goal, Morrisonn destroyed the ref as he was back pedalling, it seems.

It was actually the ref who took Morrisonn down....

Caps on the PP, but- the last 9 games, they are 1 for 15.... and this one doesn't look any better.

"It was actually the ref who took Morrisonn down..."

That goal should not count, then.

Reports are now LeClaire has a neck injury, not too serious. I was going to say when it happened, I thought his head cracked back into the left post behind him, but it happened really fast, and I didn't watch the replays.

Atlanta tied the game 2-2 against Philadelphia. Less than 10 minutes left.

Florida added 2 goals and now leads 4-0 in Toronto, end second.

Still 0-0 for Carolina in Nashville.

Poti scores? Oh, my!

3-3

Tom Poti scores, but plays continues for about 30 seconds.

Under review.

It's a goal! 3-3. First goal as a Cap for Poti.

3-3, end regulation.

OVECHKIN SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORES!!! In overtime. Number 45. Caps win, woohoo!

Character building game- give up a 3 on 5 goal, another quick one to be down 2-0, an assist from the ref for another goal against, and they walk away winners.....

a game to remember, if they make the playoffs.

Never give up.

Never.

Way to come back. Give Ovie his Hart Trophy. His individual performance is the primary attribute of the team's success; that's what MVP truly means.

Indeed. And again, that was the only drawback to the outcome- it was all Ovechkin, all game. Yeah, Poti finally scored, and a couple guys got assists, but no one won that game for them but Alex.... first goal after disaster, last and game-winning goal afdter more disaster. God forbid anything ever happens to the guy, or this team is toast (as if they aren't toast with him anyway).
