   AO was amazing last night (again). That boy is a beast! I love Alex Semin as well and its quite obvious that he’s getting back in the game.

   The past two games, it’s felt noticably colder to me up in the 400 level. I don’t know if that’s correlating to anything on the ice, but turning on the air conditioner might be the first step in making the ice better.

   I always thought The Goal went in mostly due to luck. That may still be true, but a pass Ovie almost made to Backstrom (I think) in the first is making me change my mind a bit. Going down, practically on his back, and he almost put the puck on Backstrom’s tape…and it probably would have, if he hadn’t been hypnotized by the pass like I was.

   I, too, thought the ice looked better. Still some puddling after the resurfacing, but not as many bounces as there had been. AND the shot clock worked!

   In your last interpolated statement, it’s Semin, not, uh, what you wrote.

   “Everyone in the press mentioned the dominance of last night’s second period.”

   I think everyone everywhere mentioned that period. It was like playoff hockey and the Caps were on fire.

   “We were told throughout October and most of November that a fair evaluation of Glen Hanlon couldn’t take place because of injuries. Really?”

   GREAT observation. A bit telling, no?

   “…someone in Caps’ communications managed to see me seated next to a recent Miss New Jersey, who was, yes, blogging from the game. I didn’t believe at first, either (although she was distinctly attractive), but Vogel assured me it was true.”

   Boudreau is taking on a Patton-esque (as in General Patton) persona, while not as callous in his approach, he genuinely cares about his boys IF they leave it all on the ice. If not, get of the line and recuperate with the other pansies who are a disgrace to the uniform.

   Not exactly a white-hot Devils’ club. Shut out in New York the previous night, and those of us watching the last two or three wins in the streak could tell that the end was near. A nice game by the Caps, regardless. Now beat the Rags tomorrow night, will ya?

   More like this team needed its backs shoved rudely against the wall and an afore-mentioned “Patton-esque” coach to get them to play disciplined and to their level. On that note, Boudreau might just be emerging to become what some of us who wanted a “name” coach were looking for. 5-3-1 and so far so good.

    Well must be a little careful in evaluating BB as the caps were at the abject bottom so any positive upticks in play could be overplayed. ATM I would still lean towards a veteran NHL coach with a decent pedigree in the off season.
