This game was outright domination by the Caps. WHen they weren't hitting the back of the net they were usually hitting the post. Ovechkin 2 goals and 2 hit posts. Poti hit a post. Matt Bradley hit the post. A guy from the Sens hit the post Nick Foligno. The first gaol was a great one by Semin who recievd a pass then skated towrds the net went backhand around the goalie and lit the lamp for a 1-0 advantage )assisted by Backstrom, Green). Later Laich what get a pass at the the blue line and fire a slapper into the back of the net. (assitsted by Bradley Federov) Then Ovechkin would get a goal after he skated in aim to try and find a lane to the net he found one and fired a slapper on the PP behind Auld 3-0 assisted by Poti and Green). Gerioux would have a marvelous chance being in front of the gaol with the puck and time he nearly scored another. The Caps had more goals to score even with a hefty lead going into the third and both would be PP gaols of similar setups. Green fired a one timer top shelf to make it 4-0 (asssisted by Backstrom and Federov) Then Ovechkin would fire a cross ice pass one timer 7 hole to make it 5-0 (assietd by Backstrrom and Federov). Very late the Sens would mar Brent Johnson's Shutout bid one Foligno backhanded a pass towrsd the front of the net and a Sen pushed it passed the goalie. Your final 5-1 in gfavor of the Caps who really blew away the competition in this one. Brent Jonhnson was the first star and made 32 saves only allowoing the 1 goal late. Mike Green was the second star witha gaol and 2 assists. ANd Federov was the third star with three assists. Alex Ovechkin and had 2 goals amnd 1 assist but really could have beenn top star tonight and Semin had the great backhander drive to the net to get the Caps started off on the right note with the always huge first gaol. Caps are 8 points ahead of everybody in thie3r division as Florida is trying now to draw eevn with Carolina but both trail one by 6 and the other by 7. Caps play back to back now facing Montreal and a big thing to find out is who will get the start I think coach Bruce should stick with the hot goalie that of course being Brent Johnson (BJ)
