Caps just keep winning

The Caps are now riding a 4 game winning streak and are now trying to check Boston out of first in the East but they have to play great. they beat the Sabres tonight 4-2 in Buffalo. To the Scoring starting things off right for the Caps was Brooks Laich on the PP when he got a juicy rebound and backhanded past Miller to start the goal rush his )11th) assisted by Kozlov and Backstrom. Then Chris Bourque would shoot in a long rebound off a STeckel slapper his (1st) congardulations rook alzner comes to mind assisted by Steckel and Fehr. 2-0. The Caps were not done scoring goals though as they would stertch things to 3-0 when Kozlov got a rebpound faked the shot and slid a pass to Backstrom who hit nothing but net as the Caps wouls score another powerplay goal his (11th) assiested by Kozlov and Green. Mair for Buffalo would get a breakaway and flip one high and in past Thjeodore 3-1. Boyd hit and empty net after gaining control of the puck off a steal he fired the puck rink long and it bounced in his (4th) unassiested. With just ten secomnds left Buffalo would beat Jose again this time Mcarthur would slide a rebound past Theodore after the puck was deflected it bounced wealy off theodore's pads and right to the waiting Sabre. 4-2 finish with Bakcstrom top star honors Kozlov 2nd and gaustad 3rd. WHo Mike Jones Jose had 31 saves and palyed very well tonight would have got an A but that last one where he did not kick the rebound way out was not his fault he kicked early when the puck sghould have arrived but it eventually showed up at the net and bounced feebly. He's now earned the #1 golaie spot on this Caps team playing similary like Brent Johnson. Lret's go Caps. 51 points pummeling the Southeast 2nd in the Eats and hoping Boston falls off. BNoston tonigh bet Pittsburgh Damn. Your Caps now 24-11-3 and playing their game. they have got the stars and now they are getting splendid goaltending to boot.

Terps Run Nevada to the bowl

Nevada was beaten in this one pretty much the whole game as the Terps held 14 point leads early and late. Penalties gave Nevada extra oppurtunities when tehy otherwise would have been done and the Terps finally got the ball at the end and Darrell Scott completed a superb day running for about 25 on the last play where the Teprs could then just kneel the ball down. talking abot Scott's day he ran 14 times for get this 174 yards and 2 TDs on a 12.4 yard avg and a long of 49 just a great game from an all ACC player. Chris Turner 13-27 for 199 yards 2 TD and a pick. Adrian Cannon caught a ball and then ran 59 yards for a score Ronnie Tyler caught aTD late in the first half Heyward Bey had 4 catches for 48 but fumbled a reverse. Torrey SMITH returned a kickoff 99 yards for a score. Obi missed and extra point but the Terps convereted a 2 point play. Greta win for Maryland as they finish 8-5 and should field a strong team in next year's ACC a game in which the Terps should have a great chance of playing in the ACC championship game. We'll just have to wait til next fall because this was the final football game of the year for me as fan of the balling that the Terps and SKins do. Humanitarioan Bowl victors are the MArykland Terrapins.

Georgetown take down #2 Uconn

Georgetown played great and held a large lead throughout most of this Big East showdown. They were led by Dajuan Summers who had 18 Monroe the Freshman had 16 as did Chris Wright and Austin had 13. Sapp had just 5 but hit a big three. The Hoyas were outrebounded but defended against and shot the three weel holding UConn to just 3-10 while they were 6-13 beyond the arc. 18-21 were the Hoyas from the line and Uconn was 16-22 that's 85.7% vs 72.7%. ANother key to Geopregtown's 11 point W. This team was 8th in the country heading in and after knocking off a number 2 team they most certainly will be close to the top if bnot second themselves next time the poil.ls come out. They next face Pitt on Sat the #3 team in the nation.

The Caps have won three straight again and are just winning over and over agin. This time the defeat Toroto again 4-1. Toronto got the first gaol but that would be all they could muster a Hagman shot that bounced right to him which he fired in.

Caps win again this time vs Buffalo

The Caps have won two straight (not 12 starights that's what Brashear did to Cote in that Flyers debacle). Defenseman Helmer was first star with 2 assists and i klearned he was once a highly touted prospect with the Devils. Jose Theodore was spectacular at times allowing just two goals both would have been amazing if he could have maded just one of them i would have hit the roof. Now tot he scoring. The first goal was Kozlov getting fed and slapping a shot past Lalime 7 hole in between the blocker and glove a great shot from Vik (his 9th) assisited by Backstrom and Helmer. That gives Nik two good options to pass to on that top line AO and Viktor. That goal was 38 minutes into the game and gave the Caps a lead they would never relenquish. Then a gaol originally given to Brashear was correctly given to Boyd Gordon (his 3rd) on a redirect on a shot from the point off a faceoff win, asssietd by Jurcina. Then the Sabres were given some hope when they setup a to on one where Theodore could not kick out Vanek's shot but had he made that save it would have been a ten beller as Craigh Laughlin up in the booth likes to say. 2-1 Caps. Then Ovechkin would get the puck in the D zone and race past defenders deke backhanded pass to himself past the last one and while sliding on his tummy wristed a shot that would score bottom corner and make things 3-1 (his 23rd) Assisited by Helmer. In the final two minutes Afinogonev defelected a wide shot past Theodore although to me it looked like he kicked it in but the goal was not reviwed. They woul;d pull the gaolie but they would not score and the Caps would not find a empty net goal in their stockings either as AO's only chance went wide for an icing. Brashear was second star and guess who Ovechkin was the third. Theodre made 22 saves and won. The Caps are now tied for second in the Eastern Conference and need to make a push to become top seed becasue right now they would face either Pittsburgh or New Jersey and Buffalo is 8th Philly and Montreal are up there too but I would love to see the Caps carch and overtake Boston for Eastern Conference Supremacy.

Capitals make a great comeback vs NYRangers and win in OT

Bad news Caps give up a point to the Rangers. Good news they pick up apoint on the 2nd in the Esatr squad and trail by 2 points with 2 fewer games played. The Caps cpuld reach to be 2nd soon as only a win would tie them with NYRangers. Caps tariled 4-0 in this one before Jose tHodore said enough to the rangers offense in thte thirs witha a handful of great saves. Ovechkin (goal 21) fired one that looped over Lundvikst gl;ove and went in to give the Caps life and make things 4-1 (assisets buy Backstrom. Then Fleichman (goal 12) would deflect a Backstrom shot form the point and make it 4-2 (on the PP assisted by Backstrom and Laich). Then Kozlov would get a feed and beat Henrik off the post and in (assited by Backstrom and Ovechkin PP marker as Bacjkstrom gave a him a greta feed and he scored (his 8th . then Ovechklin would pick a pass off with his hand drop it in front him and have a breakaway goal as he dedked and flipped it in tro tie things up (unassisted (goal 22). Then the only Cap not to score a gaol Helmer hasn;t eitehr but hey he hasn;'t eben here the whole season Shaone Morrison fired a pass that was boprke up the puck was left to him to fire a salpper to score ewraly in OT (his firts assisted by Nylander and COllins who got his first point. He hasn;t scored a goal either bu is fresh in the sysytem. 5-4 Caps win./ What a greta comebakc HUH.Ovecghkin was first star Morrsion was 2nd and Collins third Theodore made 21 saves and Johnson made thrree in his brief stint out there.

Skins beat Philly twice in home finale

The SKins got great efforts from Jason Taylor 55 both Redskins sacks and a FF that Fletch recovered ran 12 yards and was feet cuffed by Eagles center. Portis setup his own TD after bulling his way for 5 he punched it in from the 1. Moss was good as was Cooley and Fred Davis and Devin Thomas each had important catches. Portis had 70 yards on 22 carries 3.2 and Devin's catch was good for 17 as JC foound on the sidseline. He was open again but Cambell underthrew a ball that should have been picked off. Cambell used his l;egs sparsley but got 28 yards on 2 carries but maybe could have run another or a fourth time he sure is an avid scrmabler (sound s like a bvoard game or somethibng. Moss had 5 grabs for 28 yards and Cooley 4 for 28. Betts led in receptions with 5 for 43. Westbrook caught a 47 yarder while being covered bya D lineman and thatw as Philly's best play. TRandele ele cUaght an 11 yarder as did Portis. PklCKMEIR had 5 points inside the 10 and that really gave the SKins good field postion several times. The last play was the biggest as some figured the Elagles would have at least two maybe 3 shots at the enedszone as long as they did not get tackled before it but that's what happened as SMoot and Landry converged on Brown just shy of the goaline as the hits jarred him akll the way back to the five as he was just short and Philly could not kill the clock and had jsut that one chance bad play on their part even though it was a foirstand goal at the 1 if they could have used a TO whhich they did not have. 8-7 are the SKins and try to finish a winner at Frisco in a late 4:15 start next SUnday. early reports have Zorn staying to cich a secoibnd season as SKins HEad Coach,.

Caps Stretch Win STreak to 5

The Caps just won their 5th staright this time beation up the Blues of St Louis 4-2. The Caps struck first with a goal by Viktoir Kozlov on a wicked wrister (6th goal) top shelf near post. 1-0 Caps. Assitesd by Backstrom. The Blues would tie it on a nice deflection between Varlamov legs 5 holer from Backes. Then the Caps would retake the lead on a stuff in again from Kozlov after he made a great pass to a driving Boyd Gordon who gtried to deke the goalie but lost the puck in the crease for the big Russian to stuff in (7th goal). Assited by Gordon and Poti. Then just 40 seconds later Fleichman (11 goals) would be fed in great position alone and in front of the net only a few feet from the gaol and would fire a wrister off the post maybe both posts and in Assisted by Fehr and Steckel. The Caps would be on a powerplay and jsut 13 seconds of work would be long ewnough for ALexander Ovechkin to fire a wrister tiop shelf far post past Bishop (20th gaol and Caps 20th victory) Assisted by Kozlov and Semin. SOme minor injuries Alex Semin left the game in the middle of the third at least they lost him late and I heard Mike Green did not play at all in the third. Rookie Simeon Varlamov made just the 2nd start of his career and won his 2nd straight giving up just 2 goals and making 29 saves that's 61 of 64 saves to shots. Great start fro the Russian rookie who was the youngest ever Russian gaolie to win his first start. He was the 2nd star Kozlov with his two gaols and an assist was first star and ALezander the Great Ovechkin (GREAT EIGHT) was third star with his goal. Now the goaltending situation gets very interesting and hard for Boudreau who has 2 top shelf great hot gaolies who will he choose to start Saturday noon vs the Flyers who the Caps are looking to pay back for their early playoff exit last season. I"d satrt Varlamov cuz he has been a klittle bit hotter and Johnson surrendered 4 goals his last outing but both have been great at keeping the puck out of the net.

Caps win again victim Islanders

The Caps have now beaten the Islanders the last two times they have played. They started off with a tough goal scored on a wrap around attempt that Boyd Gordon would eventually stiff into the net (assisted by Brashear Steckle.) Then it would be two nothing once Brooks Laich drove to the net lost the puck but it would slide pas a poke check by goalie Mcdonald and go 5 hole (assisted by Green and Johnson). The Islanders would fire back and get a goal from Weight who got a lucky deflection off Poti's stick. The Caps woould then make it 3-1 with a goal from Jurcina froma shot from D lnad the point that would beat Mcdonald far post. (assisted by ALZNER ANd Kozlov) The Islanders would make things three two on a goal from Park. Ovechkin would make it 4-2 on a sweet behind the bakc backhand from Semin which AO would fire into the net whoich was pretty wide open after the great Smein feed (assisted by Semin and Backstrom). The Islanders would score twice in the 3rd one very late with about two minutes left gaols by Sutton and SIm. Ovechkin would get the last laugh and the gamewiiner in OT after hitting the post on a backhand he got another chance late Backstrom would feed AO until Ovechkin found a shooting lane he liked and snapped a wrister passed Mcdonald top shelf far post and the Caps won there 4th staright. AO first star Park 2nd and ALzner 3rd. Johnson stopped 35 shots as he was busier than usual tonight. They lead the SE by 8 over Caroilina and ten by Florida. They next face the St Louis Blues at home and hope to continue there now 4 game W STreak and make it 5 vs St Louis. LET"S GO CAPS!!!!!

Caps Win vs Montreal 2-1

Well look what the Caps keep doing winning. Varlomov the rookie goalie for the Caps was just spectaculiar tonight with 32 saves and one goal allowed. He was the vaunted first star in just his first start and got his very first win. The Caps scored on an early PP with Nik Backstrom netting one( assisted by Ovechkin and Semin). Montreal would tie on a 4 on 4 goal from Briesbros. But late in the third the Caps scored the most important goal one on a rebound follow from Nylander which he got a stick on and the puck hit the goalie and was then hit in on the follow. (who got it Nylander on a greta play (assisted by Giroux and Kozlov. That's how it would end with a 2-1 margin for the Caps. Nylander was awqarded the 2nd star and Havlak Montreal's goalie got third. The Caps now have 39 points which is third overall in the East and tops in the Southeast division 8 ahead of Florida and Carolina. The Caps now have a three game win streak and in interessting situation with Varlomov who could replace Jose Theodore on the Caps bench as a top reserve goalie. He was great in ythe 08 and might just get Theodore to a new location. The csaps are 18-10-3 and hust barley avoided an OT tonight vs Monteral tehy next face the NY ISlanders on Tuesday on Versus. That should be a good tilt as the Caps are hungry to get to second or first in the East as they trail the NY Rangers by 3 points but have played 2 less games than NY. Boston is first with 46 7 ahead of the Cpas but also a team they Caps recently conquered. Caps another fine performance and yet anothervictory in what has been a very successful sewason thus far for them. Federov dealt with another injury setvack but should be fine and miss no time.

Caps Whoop Ottawa 5-1

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)

Caps Beat Bruins 3-1

The Caps tonight found a way to beat the Eastern Conference's leading squad the Boston Bruins. The Caps struck first on a beatiful deflection off backstrom's stick on an Ovechkin shot on the PP (assisted by Ovechkin and Kozlov). The Caps also welcomed back Semin and Poti to their lineup and hopefully will have Mike Green back in there next match. The Caps would make the score 2-0 on a great setup from Poti a gave a touch pass to Kozlov a ripped a one timer off Fernandez's pads that rookie Hershey call-up Alexandre Giroux would wrist in a shot he stuck with off the pads of the gaolie then off the post and in (assisted by Kozlov and Poti). However late in the second the Bruins go a late strike while the Caps were in a line change (don't you just hate that) and had only one defemnder on a 2 on 1 that Lucic would fire top center (water bottle) over Johnson. 2-1 going in the third and there would be no scoring until late when the Bruins pulled their gaolie trailing by one and needing a gaol. However it would be thje Caps that capitalize. ALexander Semin stole the puck from a Bruin D man and passed to AO who would niftly tap the puck forward and reeclaim it to hit the empty net and make things 3-1 with 51 seeconds left all but sealing the W fro the Caps. assisted by Semin and Backstrom). Johnson made 33 saves and was the games first star. Giroux was the second with his goal and he also had a penalty shot but hit it just wide of the goal. Kessler was the third star with an assist. The Caps are now once again six points ahead of idle Carolina who has a game tommorow (hopefully they lose and give the Caps even more breathing room as the SOutheast's Best squad). Johnson is palying so well that I think he is giivng Bruce Boudreau an easy amnswer to who should be the Caps #1 gaolie playing his way ahead of Jose Theodore who hasn't been as outstanding. He has a 2.50 GAA and a save % of .913 and is 7-4-2. Caps win 3-1 and beat the East's best. Great game evrybody get some rest and get ready for Ottawa.

Wiz Pound Pistons

The Wiz trailed big early in this one but fought back valiantly and found a way to own the game for three quarters. AFter being down 17 the cut the lead to three at half time on a last second lay in from CB (Caron Butler Tough Juice). CB was point champ as he usually is with a box score total of 45 as he had 33 6, 5 and 2 and the WIz cut big contributions off the bench from Juan who played his way in my opion back into the roation and I think he should start Blatche was big with 8 on 4-6 and a big dunk tap. Mcguire was perfect from the field and also had a dunk tap 3-3. Dixon had 16 and made two threes. Darius was 7-13 and had 15. Jamison struggled but finished with 10 and 11 on 4-12 shooting. The Wiz are now 4-15 and the final was 107-94. Detroit's a very good team but tonight the Wiz were alot better than them.

Wiz fall on last shot miss by Butler

Let me say this in the Wiz's early season slide they are almost always in it to the last couple seconds and vs Western Conference Powerhouse LA the Lakers of course nbot the Clips, Butler took a three at the end that would have given the Wiz a remarkable comeback win. The Wiz trailed LA by 19 with about 8 minutes to go but fought back admiarbly. Kobe didn't shoot well 5-17 but made all but his final free throw 13-14 and that give Butler a final three attempt where he pumped faked one guy into the Suites at Verizon but another stuck his hand out at Butler and may have altered the shot that hit front rim and missed. Butler had a game high 26 and is point champ once again with a combined box score of 42. He's a player no doubt and Jamison is too as well as Nick Young the up and coming star from USC. Blatche actually contributed and scored more than TWan and had more boards too with 18 and 12 to Jamison's 15 and 12. Young dropped 13 and had a soaring dunk basleine past two defenders. AD dropped 10 and I'm beggining to like him off the bench. He is not a greta shooter but does drain three's and when Gil comes back I think AD should back Gil up as opposed to Dee Brown with Juan Dixon now getting no clock and I thought Juan would do well with the Wiz. DARN DOUBLE DARN. The Wiz were 6-15 from deep and LA was 10-20 always hitting a three to thwart the Wiz comeback attempts. Now the Wiz face Chicago tonight in a game they must and should win. The first place Capitals face Toronto on the road. The Wiz Le Buletts need to find a Way to dstart winning all these close games they seem to find themselves in and I think they will. But if they are anything they are steadily very competive against everyone but Orlando and that young rebounding machine center Dwight Howard.

Caps Win Over NY Islanders 5-2

Ovechkin started the scoring early on a powerplay setup that had him fire a mean wrister close to the net and hit the back of that net(assists Jurcina and Laich). 1-0 Caps. Then the Caps got another powerplay and they scored on that one too. Thos time Kozlov redirected a shot from the point and fpound the back of the net (assited by Helmer and Lepisto to Hershey call-ups). The Islanders would strike twice in a row to tie things at 2-2 heading into a 3rd period that was all Caps. Alzner struck a point shot off the shin of a defender which caromed off the boards to the goalie who tried to hold out but it squirted through the crease where Donald Brashear worker hard to slide it into the ent with a defender draped on his back (assisted by ALzner(first career point) and Jurcina. Then Eric Fehr scored on yet another powerplay this time backhanding a juicy rebound niclet pass Mcdonald who made 42 of 46 saves and let's just say he was tested and tested often in this one. (assisted by Laich and Ovechkin). Then the goalie was pulled with 1:44 remaining and the Caps created a turnover and away came Ovechkin streaking to net an empty netter but with a Dman in his way he slid the puck over to Nik Backstrom who broke out with him and Backstrom hit the open net easily. First star award was Kozlov(goal) who also hit the post in this one second star Karl ALzner (assist) and third star was Brashear who netted the game winner. Ovechkin should have been a star with a goal and two helpers but I guess he's a start so often that some of the other players were given star awards. Brent Johnson made 27 of 29 saves and allowed just 2 goals which is a great performance also star waorthy so you could say five Caps should have been stars maybe even six with Fehr scoring that terrific backhander. washoington was 60% on the PP 3-5 and remain in first 5 points over next closest Carolina who lost tonight to Pittsburgh. Johnson is 5-4-2 with a 2.81 GAA and a .909 save %. Now a tough decison for coach Bruce Boudreau with who to start in net between Theodore and Brent. Both are good but Johnson has a better GAA and save % but both are playing great.

Wiz Run Nets off the Floor in 3rd

This was a close game until a 35-12 whooping in the 3rd when the Wiz caught fire and blew the Nets out. Deshawn played a great game going 5-8 from deep and finished with 21. Caron and Twan each had 22 and Nick Young was great as usual off the bench shooting 5-8 and had 12 ponits and made his only 3 attempt and had and and 1 that he completed. Caron Butler was Ponit Champ with 37 in a box score add up 22 ponits 10 assists 5 boards. Can the Wiz stay hot vs Portland who has a good record sitting at 13-6 we'll see. I think they beat the blazers tonight at home and move their record to 4-12. Then they have the Lakers and Chicago both winnable games. Wiz need wins and they will play hard fast and good for new coach Ed Tapscott. ANother note in this game was Dee Brown was 2-3 from beyond the arc and finished with 8 points as did Javale Mcgee. Dominic mcguire caught and finished agreta ally oop and Daniels hit a three and convereted on and And 1 situation. Blatche and Songailia did not shoot the ball well but the usually contrinbute postivley.

Redskins Lose Big One vs NY

The Redskins did not play good. Dropped passes no running game a pick thrown deep into double coverage on a first down. All things considered the biggest play was a 4th and 1 that the Skins elected to go for on there own 40. The previous drive had the same situation and they punted but with time running down and them down by 13 they went for it. Portis was stopped for no gain. The Giants kick a FG and are now up by 16. The SKins still have a chance. On a 4th and six deep in Giants territorty Rande LE is clearly interfered with but no flag was thrown. Backbreaker as Buckhantz likes to say when big shots are hit in Wiz games. Cambell had a number of dropped balls that his men shoukld have caught. Now the SKins best chance is to win the remaining gaMes and go 11-5 which may or may not get them into the coveted playoffs (Playoffs yes playoffs Mora). Next up the Ravens who the SKins should beat and Portis should do a better job running the rock. It's a winnable game as are all the gamnes left on the schedule. If they go 11-5 I think they should be in the playoffs but I'm not familiar with the toiebreaker rules so I don't know that status.
