Granted the Caps PP was dismal, but I thought is was one of the sloppiest performance by a team since Kolzig’s last start in Chicago last year.
Misguided and ill-timed passes killed them. They have an excellent/fast transition, but even speed requires patience.

Was I mistaken or did they allow Bourque back on the ice at the end of the 9 minutes of PP and not at the end of the 10 minute misconduct?
Squandered oppourtunities and too many stoooooopid penalties about sums that effort up. Hope BB skates them hard today, and maybe cuts skating time of a couple (since we can’t bench anybody at this point) to maybe get them back on track.
Theo had a good game for once (although the first goal was a result of poor rebound control), and hopefully the chemistry is starting to work.
Tomorrows a new game in a long schedule.

What an annoying and frustrating game!
What I got out of it: I learned that you can’t toss your stick to your goalie if he loses his. Who knew?

Heh… so THAT’s why I thought I just heard a whistle. Thanks for the update Sparty.
The officiating was awful last night. But when the Caps didn’t score after the refs hit Rene Bourqe with that 19-minute smack-down (including the misconduct) — as Ovechkin himself said, “It was the first time I’ve ever had a nine-minute power-play and we had only one chance in those nine minutes and it can’t be like that” — you knew it was coming.

Its 845am eastern time on WEDNESDAY….I think the Caps were just called for another minor penalty.
