Caps vs. Lightning Tonight

Posted on by

“The most improved team in the league led by young and rapidly developing stars. Led by the leading scorer in the NHL under the leadership of new owners and a new coach.”

They used to say that about us. Now they say that about the Tampa Bay Lightning.

A team led by young stars that are hungry and angry and focused on interdivisional play.

I am so impressed with the turnaround in Tampa. They are scary good.

I hope we are up to this challenge. Be prepared, be loud and proud tonight! Total red out – we will need it. Go Caps!

A Loss at Home

Posted on by

A rare occurrence this year. Tampa out worked us and outplayed us. They are in the playoff race and they deserved the win. Even with all of that, we lost 3 to 2 on a goal that was reviewed and ” iffy”. But a loss is a loss. It should serve as motivation for us.

We are still playing lots of players in lots of different lineups. We now go on the road for four straight games which is good for the team. We can bond on the road as players and staff and focus on nothing but systems and hockey.

Bad Game – Great Blog Post

Sorry about that. That was an odd game, a game where we expended so much energy to lose 7 to 4. We were down 4-1; tied it up 4-4; then basically lost the “second game within the game” by a score of 3-0.

To say nothing worked on defense, in goal and on our special teams would be an understatement.

Where are all of the experts on ice quality today, by the way?

Alex Ovechkin was ready to fight to help jump start us as a team. That is what Captains have to do sometimes but Matt Bradley wouldn’t stand for that. Check out this blog post. It is witty and has great graphics and captions.

Sorry about last night. That wasn’t fun. We can’t lick our wounds as we have another game tonight.
