In previous games in this series we have been needling each other, and there will be more of the same tonight. She actually asked me "Why won't you support my team?". I actually grew up in Minneapolis. After the North Stars moved out, that wasn't my team any more. The Wild are OK I guess, but I didn't grow up with them, so I sort of ended up adopting the Caps. Funny - when I lived in Boston, I adopted the Red Sox, but not the Bruins.... My fiancee grew up near Philly and is a diehard Flyers fan.

With the attention that the Flyers are giving Ovie, it'll be bice having Sergei's experience out there taking advantage of that. I think backstrom was still trying to get it to Ovie, instead of taking advantage of what Philly is giving up to contain him...Fedorov will make something else happen.

I wish Caps fans would crawl back in from the ledge. Yes 2-1 isnt ideal, but it's not the end of the world. The Caps have to be more physical upfront and sent more guys at the Phily net and stop settling for the shots from outside. Also going to Olie may not be a bad idea.
