Game 7 Live Blog
Pre-game
Flyers are suiting up bruiser Steve Downie. Downie is best know for being a goon, and his hit on Dean McAmmond that landed him a 20 game suspension.
The pressure is all on the Flyers tonight. Will they come flying or dead like the past two games?
Can the Caps stay out of the box this game […]
Those Who Forget the Lessons of History Are Doomed To Repeat It
Hey Flyers, 1988 called and they want their choke job back. Ok, maybe thats a bit of an overstatement and a bit premature, but let’s compare the 1988 series to todays’

Pregame Notes:
I don’t have to tell you guys, but todays game is huge for the Caps. How huge? Huge huge. And to understand the scale of huge huge, think sextuplet preggers huge.
Semin is playing great as of late, especially with Backstrom at center. The two have great and are very dynamic together, expect another high […]

Pre-Game
Will Eddie Olzyck think the crowd is 50/50 again?
Can the Caps box out the Flyers offense and prevent 2nd and 3rd chances that cost the Caps game 4?
Will Ovechkin find his scoring touch. Only one goal in the past 4 games?
Can the Caps prevent the Flyers from getting off to a quick lead in the […]
Game 4 Live Blog from my Couch
Pregame notes:
Huet will get the nod tonight despite my previous entry. I guess I don’t have the amount of pull in the club house like I thought.
According Tarik, looks like Fedorov and Backstrom are switching lines. Its going to be Ovechkin-Fedorov-Kozlov and Laich-Backstrom-Semin. Personally I’d like to see what a line of Ovechkin-Fedorov-Semin could do.
Let’s […]
Ollie the Goalie?
It’s that time once again ladies and gents, theres a feeling in the air, a murmur in the streets, a whisper on the internets. What are they all talking about? Is it the possibility of seeing the Pope Mobile? No. Is it the buzz of the playoff hockey in DC since 2003? Close. Is it Caps nation worried about the 2-1 deficit on their series to the Flyers? Warmer. Is it a call for coach Boudreau to start Ollie instead of Huet for game 4? Ding ding ding. Ok, maybe no one else is thinking this besides me, but it is time for to entertain the argument of Ollie over Huet.
Game 3 Live Blog from my Couch
After the 1st period its 3-1 Flyers. Heres are some of my notes:
* What happened to sending bodies to the front of the goal? 0-2 on the power play and I did not see a single Cap screening Biron
* Huet looks bad again. On the replays, he looks like he’s reacting a half second slow on everything. 3 goals, all glove side high. I guess I was wrong about blocker side high. Anything high is getting by hims.
* 2 goals were mistakes on transition. Braydon Coburn outlet pass caught the forwards off guard and sprung the 3-2. And of course, the Jurcina give away. Let’s try to tighten it up boys.
* Ove, 1 goal, 1 assist. Brashear, 1 goal, 1 assist. Anyone else think something is wrong here?
* The late power play goal by Briere is a heart breaker with less than 10 seconds to goal. Got to admit the slap pass by Mike Richards was pretty.
Dissapointing Loss
It was bound to happen eventually. The emotional run for the Southeast Division finally caught up to the Capitals in their 2-0 loss to Philadelphia this afternoon. Plain and simple the Capitals looked dead on the ice today. Nothing seemed to click. The power play was 0-6 with very limited chances and the defense looked timid after Umberger’s break away goal that gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead in the first.

Sorry guys, EDGE was horrible @ Verizon and couldn’t get a decent connection. But the game was great, and the crowd was LOUD. I’m not sure if it cam across on TV but the 3rd period was louder than […]
