A Monday Night Recap That Doesn’t Mention Sidney Crosby

By Elisabeth Meinecke 22 November, 2011

Head coach Bruce Boudreau said it was nice to hear music blaring from the Capitals’ locker room after the 4-3 win over Phoenix Monday night.

The victory snapped an 0-3-1 streak that included some fairly ugly moments along the way (hello, 7-1 loss to Toronto on Saturday).

What happened in the past 48 hours to precipitate the turnaround?

Will the benching of a healthy #28–Alexander Semin–continue this week, since the Caps seemed fine Monday without him?

Did the Caps get their obligatory once-a-season 4 game losing streak (or, even more momentous, last year’s 8-game losing streak) out of the way early?

And how did Boudreau seem to take the win (hint: relieved)?

Ted Starkey, author of Transition Game, and OFB’s Elisabeth Meinecke discuss below. Thanks, Chris Gordon of the NY Times/RMNB, for filming!
