Os tampões parecem ter o knack de começar o jogo dando um ciclo que vai sem mandar alguém ir ao meio para uma oportunidade centrando-se. It’s nice that they can keep possession, and it’s going to grind the other team down, but the next step is creating a solid scoring opportunity out of that.
  • Despite getting train-wrecked by Alex Ovechkin, Jay Bouwmeester displayed his considerable talents: a defenseman that big with good speed leading the rush is not something you often see.
  • Shaone Morrisonn appeared to be injured in the final minute of the game, which is very bad ju-ju for the defensive corps.
  • Something of a costly win, but a win nonetheless. The Caps held on to a lead late, which has been something of a bugaboo for them this season, and got off the schneid. Team OFB also got to spend some time with “The Godfather”, Eric McErlain of Off Wing Opinion, and his fellow Offwingers, Joe and Kate, as well as the ever-productive DCSportsChick, who set a new land-speed record for fastest and most accurate comment in OFB history (see the OFB team picture for more).

    The next two games are against tough competition, and with the newest injuries to the club, a difficult task became more difficult. A good showing in both games would be a nice way to end the season.

    2. al, there was an update on the Caps Report a few minutes ago. Morrisonn blocked a shot with a piece of male-specific anatomy, and is okay now.

      Yikes.

    3. Ha ha. Thank the Verizon Center for letting me on their network! (Wasn’t sure it was going to happen at first.)
