38 = Huet... he starts tonight.

91 = Fedorov... lots of experience for the young Caps to learn from (playing between Semin and Laich).

Not sure about Cooke (he's not in the lineup tonight anyway).

We shall see....

edited because.... I can't spell.

Well it iszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

NJ... not much going on. The Caps get a too many call against, and the Devs go on the PP with Ovechkin serving the time....

killed.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..... 11:00 gone 1st.... less SOGs between both teams than minutes played....

4:28 left 1st, Fedorov to the box for roughing (really a hit from behind)... Huet a big save :05 later... another solid save, 1:21 left PP.... cleared, cleared, cleared, offside NJ at :18 left PP, cleared, killed.

 

0-0, end 1zzzzzzzzzzzzzt.

Zecond izzz on.... about 12:20 left 2nd, Huet with his first HUGE save for the Caps... ok, let's all go back to sleep.

9:23 left 2nd, Caps finally get a PP...

Green scores for the Caps, but now Steckel to the box for delay of game....

I had problems with the radio. Works, now.

Green's goal is from Semin and Fedorov (welcome, hehe).

Sounds like a good glove save by Huet on a shot by Zubrus.

1 minute to play in the second period.

Brashear... but now A. Greene, Elias...

Gordon, Bradley... looks like the Caps are not taking risks. Fleischmann takes a shot, though.

Poti shoots and Brodeur makes a pad save one second before the horn. End of second. 1-0 Caps.

What were the stats for Caps leading after two periods? Hehe. They won them all but one, I believe.

It was a good save... Huet with the big arc glove save.

1-0, end 2nd, and the Caps look like (dare I say it?) they might actually play a 60:00 game tonight... hope I don't jinx it, but if Huet gives up 1 or less tonight, Olie can just sit on his tomorrow too.

Caps score on their second shot of the second period. Kozlov from Ovechkin and Backstrom. Time of the goal: 0:43.

KOZLOV less than 1:00 into the 3rd!!

2-0 Caps!!

"hope I don't jinx it, but if Huet gives up 1 or less tonight, Olie can just sit on his tomorrow too."

I don't want to jinx it either, but this one sounds like it has more chances to end with a shutout than a shootout.

Yikes and OUCH- 14:13 left in regulation, Green catches a stick in the face and is bleeding heavily. Caps get the 4:00 PP....

Gionta with a short handed opportunity, save by Huet.

SCORES!!!! SEMIN!!!! 3-0.

I just told misto Ovechkin is starting to show some frustration when he gets a great shot off and doesn't get the goal, when....

Semin!!! Wicked blast!!!

3-0 Caps!!!

That was after more than 3 minutes on the PP. Back to 5-on-5.

Timeout, now.

Good thing Semin started to be on fire when Ovechkin stopped producing.

Not picking on the guy, but Ovechkin's problem is his new squeeze- they've been noted around town, snuggling and smootching it up... he needs to get his head back into the game.

But then, he is only 22, and when I think back to that age, I was an idiot when it came to the ladies (and I didn't have $124 million dollars, either)....

Ovechkin shoots, Brodeur makes the save but gives a "juicy rebound" but Backstrom in front can't "find the handle" (Kolbe).

Now Donald Brashear! LOL! 4-0 Caps. With 2:45 left.

The Donald!!!!

4-0 Caps!!!!

He's been good, lately, I found from the video summaries. I like the guy. We gotta keep this team together.

Assists: Bradley and Poti.

Assits to Semin's goal were Kozlov and Backstrom (#43... whatta kid we got there, an Adam-Oates season for his first year).

End of game. Huet gets a shutout, hehe (only faced 18 shots). We only lacked a goal by Fedorov, but he got an assist.

Huet gets the goose egg, and Olie gets the bench again tomorrow!

4-0 Caps, final!!!!

Sounded like a very quiet 4-0 win. Not only because it was an away game, but also because they didn't have to open the game considerably, and play with frenzy to win that one. Sounded like a very serious work by all team. Not a mistake. Not a bad penalty at the wrong moment. We could have done without two many men on the ice, and delay of game, though.

Stars:

1. Huet
2. Green
3. Backstrom

Huet with the 3rd star at NHL, and according to Boudreau post-game, Kolzig gets the start against the Leafs....

Good stuff last night at the Rock, my postgame is here.
