You can’t win them all.
We had won xx games in a row. It was a terrific stretch of hockey. But this is the NHL. Every team has quality talent and you can’t win them all.
Xxx played very committed hockey tonight. They out worked us and got a couple of lucky breaks go their way.
We seemed a bit emotionally drained and tired and a few mistakes were made. There was the game in a nutshell.
We are still playing well. Our record over the last xx games is xx-xx-xx. We lead our division by xx. We are xx in the East and xx in the entire NHL. We have now scored xxx goals but tonight, we came up short.
We have miles to go before we sleep. We will do better. I promise. Thanks for your emails and critiques. Go Caps!
How was that?!
