Theo the big save 1:00 in, Biron the same 4:00 in....

Giroux is up, for the under-the-weather fedorov.... Bradley playing with broken nose (tough guy)....

Caps have killed a penalty, I've survived an AOL "Moment from Hell"....

under 9:00 left 1st. Very fast period.

Another PP for the Flyers on a hook, 8:14 left 1st....

TV timeout.

Killed again with some good work..... much different game than the CRC saw in December up there.

JB says Feds took the warmup, but decided he couldn't go tonight, putting Giroux in the lineup.... Green does not have a point against the Flyers this season.....

Caps to the PP with 4:39 left 1st, after the ubiquitous TV timeout.

Wow- I can't recall the Caps moving the puck like this at home on the PP....

Backstrom, cross-ice to Ovie, who shoots and Laich deflects it in!

1-0 Caps!

2:58 left, the Flyers get a third PP as Giroux takes his second minor of the game, this time a semi-cheap head shot to the back of Hartnell's head along the boards, well after the puck was gone.

Biron covers the SH chance with :01 left in the PP, I'd venture to say this one's killed again.....

we're under 1:00 in the period.... :34.2, Caps are offside....

1-0 Caps, end 1st. great period.

2nd on, Theo another BIG save about 1:00 in, another before 18:30 left 2nd.... no Brashear tonight, either....

already 4:00 gone 2nd, this looks like a different team than the one we saw in the losing streak....

1st period took 30:00 total, according to CL.... Biron saves the day....

in 16 games against the Flyers, Ovechkin is 13-11-24 (not sure if that includes tonight)....

Theo the save at 12:59, and a TV timeout.

Almost (dare I say it).... playoff style hockey.

Comcast game note- Carcillo is trying (? ) to be the first player since Dave Schultz to "win" the PIM'S title his first two seasons - he won it last year with the 'Yotes, and is in the lead this year with the Flyers.....

wow- great pass from Richards, to Knuble on the open side....

1-1.

 

This game is looking like playoff hockey- not tons of excitement, but real play and if you make a mistake, you pay for it. Another TV timeout....

as friend TAK would say, the next goal is.... huge.

A mistake behind Biron.... Semin to Ovechkin....

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!

2-1 Caps!!

Hi, Roger. I'll follow the third period.

"this looks like a different team than the one we saw in the losing streak"

Yes, I think they went through two lazy periods this season. It's understandable. I hope it was not due to too much confidence, but simply a lack of efforts. Playoffs are getting close, now, and they better go back into winning mode. Starting against the hard-hitting Flyers would be a good thing, and since they scored the huge goal...

Green still scoreless against them, and Ovechkin still as effective.

Third has been on for about 4 minutes. Biron with a good save on a shot by Kozlov.

NHL.com's score page still stuck at 1-0 Caps, 17 minutes left to second period.

SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORES!!!! Oh, wait, waived off.

Caps had a couple of great chances in the few seconds before that. Looks like they'll be on the PK after the break, because of an interference.

No penalty called despite a contact with Biron. Still 2-1 Caps.

And now, Flyers score, big horn, but it's waived off immediately too. And this time, Knuble will go to the box for interference. People are booing, of course.

Caps' PP starts well, until the Flyers get a short-handed breakaway, but Ovechkin comes back to hit Gagne off the puck legally. Maybe he heard about that video and people saying he's not a team player.

Knuble out of the box, killed.

3rd on, the Caps have a goal washed out, the Flyers come back and score but THAT is washed out.... less than 11:00 left in reg with the Caps still up 2-1..... great hockey.

Theodore with a huge save on a shot by Asham to preserve the Caps' lead, while I'm editing the banner to add his face (picture will be up in a couple of minutes).

Thank you for jumping in, here, I was worried I couldn't keep the millions of readers happy with my reports....

Theo BIIIIIG save with 4:39 left reg.... what a great game. 

Stoppage with 12 seconds left.

Play resumes. Poti with the puck, and final horn. Caps win! Hopefully the beginning of another winning streak. See you next time. Good night.

Yep, nice to see the boys win a game in regulation with a concerted effort.

Let's go, Caps!
