Good, I’m glad I’m not the only one who was screaming “WHISTLE?!” at the television set last night.

Roger! You are so right- that didn’t even occur to me! Good observation.

I agree Sajak did not look happy on the jumbotron. Probably because IIRC they were playing Alex Trebek’s Jeoprady theme song while showing him.

as a Habs fan i can only say WOW!
the habs didn’t play thier game
even though they came cack down 3-0
and 4-2 with only minutes remaining
but even if they had played better
Ovee One had that game burnig in his eyes, the cameras were one him all night on the Caps bench and he had this crazy look in his eyes like
a man possessed- a demon on skates.
He was pissed about the 4-0 beat down the Habs laid on his team a few nights earlier and he came out for blood. Good for him, He is exactly what hockey needs. I as well as every hockey fan am very excited to see this guy play. Go Caps. Make the playoffs, Just don’t play the Habs.

I’m glad you mentioned that “O” thing again. The blogosphere is almighty and powerful. Could we possibly force these HILLBILLIES to acquiesce and SHUT THEIR MOUTHS during the anthem? Thank you.

Jordana- I only caught a glimpse of the announcement on the Jumbotron, but I thought the date was either Feb. 26 or 27. I’m sure more info will be forthcoming soon.

Did they announce at the game when Hockey N Heels would be this month? I can’t find any mention of it on the Caps website.

Hell of an effort last night. No idea how the ref didn’t blow the tying goal dead before it squirted free, but I think what amazed me most was just the sheer exuberance of everyone in the building after the game winner. Wouldn’t say the place was packed, but it was pretty full, and when that puck tickled the twine for the W, felt like it was 1998 and Ottawa or Buffalo was in town again.

FWIW, that was Ovie’s second hat trick at home. OK, so his first was during a pre-season game his rookie year, but I think it should count because it was against Pitt.

I wore my Caps sweater to work today I’m so giddy about Ovie’s performance last night.
