Let's start with the bad news the Caps lost a game that looked destined for OT but with about a minute left Bradely blocked a shot that went back to the Senators and Belle shot the puck low and in past Theodore and it happened so fast that Jose looked helpless on the shot. The first period had to Sens goals as Hatley proved he could score on the PP and he did so twice one was a gimme as erskine knocked a Sen into Theopdore who could not recover in time and Heatley scored. Then he tried to pass but it defelcted off Shultz and beat a helpless Theodore. The best chance to stop a goal was Theo's last attempt but I don't think he expected the puck top go right back to Belle who beta him clean. The Caps tied it in the second with 2 of there own Semin skated deep and then dished to Fedoreov who was in the high slot and fired a one time slapper past eliott his 5th assisted by Smein. Then Dteckel would get a great pass right in front and tip the pass in for his 6th of the year the great pass came from Fleichmann and the other assist was the Casptain Clark. But late in thirs the ens would get the game winner and it was there third PP gaol of the night with onl;y six seconds reamining on that PP and Bradley's failed clear attempt was costly although he did block the first atte,mpt from Belle but the puck came right back and was slapped past Jose who did not kick the low shot but threw his arms and body at it he just needed to use his legs. All star break for a week fopr the Nhl and Ovechkin is playing in the game and the skills competition. The Terps beat UVA avenging a football loss to that school 84-78 and that evens their record to 2-2 in ACC play. Landomn Mil;bopurne had 17 as did Adrian Bowie. VaZQUEZ HAD 16 and got off the slide that has plagued him the last four. Hayes 10 and Neal 8 Greogory had 8 Mosley four and Dupree 4 Milbourne led the Terps in boards with 5 and I still think they need a qaulity big man as Dupree has not been shootimng well adn needs to work on his Offense. Hayes led the Terps in assisits with 11 and the Terps shot the ball well shooiting 53.7 % and 50% from beyond the arc. The highlight for the Terps was Milbourne taking it to the whole and dunking over one of the Cavs which the Terps really needed at that time as UVA was mounting a comeback. I just wish the Caps could have at least got their game into OT because they are really good in the extra period but hey they are still the best in the SOutheast but do have some work to do tro catch Boston who they are 2-0 against this season.
