| Capital vs. Capital |
| Wednesday, December 06, 2006 |
Caps are at home tonight against Ottawa. Let's hope tonight's game is like the last one they played against them, where the Caps actually came back from a deficit and won the game.
Oh NO!!!
Captain Daniel Alfredsson limped off the ice with a right knee injury in the third period of Tuesday night’s 4-2 win over the New York Islanders, taking something away from the victory and the 64th birthday celebration for Ottawa coach Bryan Murray.
Gosh, I hope it didn't ruin Bryan Murray's birthday!
Actually, the funniest line from that article by Ken Warren was this one:
The Islanders are sporting a Journeyman R Us lineup, with a roster full of players who have bounced around here, there and everywhere.
Yeah, it's snotty and patronizing. But really, couldn't you say that about a lot of teams? Not sure where the condescension is coming from. Does it really matter? That type of lineup helps many teams; it's not like the Islanders are a bunch of slouches. After all, they're #1 in the Atlantic division (which I realize isn't saying much) and tied in points with Ottawa.
Warren continues his superior attitude in this article:
If the National Hockey League had come down harder on Washington Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin on Monday, the Ottawa Senators wouldn't have to worry about him tonight.
Waaaah. Oh no, the Sens might actually have to play some hockey!
As Ray Emery says,
"He's probably one of the top five guys (in the NHL) for me. When he's on the ice, you want to know. When he's on the ice, you kind of cheat towards him, because more often than not, whoever else has the puck is looking to get it to him."
So I guess the secret is to give the puck to anyone but Ovechkin if Emery is in net, since that's what he's expecting.
Any other night, I don't mind the Senators; in fact, I usually root for them because of Fred. But tonight? All bets are off! |

Then again, you could look at it as: "Wow, we sure wish the NHL had suspended Ovechkin so we would stand a better chance of winning."

Totally unrelated to this particular post... I just read your Reason For Irritation for the first time. LMAO!!! Down with Snyder, man. That is the last straw. LOL!

Uh. Wrong stadium. What Snyder? What am I talking about?
This is why I need you for sports information, diva.

Carol's right. Although for Ottawa to have a better chance of winning tonight, the entire Capitals team would have had to have been suspended.
Command performance tonight. That was a joy to watch. I can't stand Ottawa.
Barra Brava will be there 50 strong Friday vs. the Ducks. Should be, um, interesting. :)
