Caps Win Thriller vs SE Rival Panthers

This game was a thriller as the Caps would take a third period lead but have to kill a 1:05 5 on 3 plus a 5 minute major when Morrison hit a Panther in the back who then went face first into the boards opening up a mean cut over his left eye hey who said hockey wasn't DNGEROUS. The Caps scored very early much like they did vs LA when Fleuchman put a pass throught the saktes of a d man and Fehr would skate in and fire a wrister near side past Vokuhn an early 1-0 lead Fehr's 6th assited by Fleichman and Steckel on the first shift. Then Ballard would tie it when ghe called for the puck from fromer Cap Zednik who passed and Ballard ripped a one timer off Theo's hsoulder abnd in. 1-1. It was that score in the third when Backstrom just was denied on a rebound when Ovie would find Green who skated in and fired a wrister top shelf his 6th staright game with a goal a record for Caps Dman and 7 is the NHL record set by Connel in '86 Green's 19th assisted by Ovechkin and Bakcstrom. Then the hysterica wouyls start inside me when Fedorev was in the box Morrison through that hit and got himslef a 5 minute major game misconduct for check in the back and the 5 on 3 would be killed for that minute and 5 seconds but Morrison was still in the box and the Panther's pulled there goalie setting up another 2 man advantage but Green would get the puck on the boards and fire a wrister all the way down the ice and into the net for his 20th and it sealed the win for the Caps as they killed all PPs for the Pnather's the foirst time simnce 13 staright akllowing a PP goal that las t Green tally was shorthanded and was unassisted Theo made 20 saves and was top star Steckel was sewcond for his greayt PK work and Vokoun was third making alot of good saves but I really felt like Green should have been first or second star and Fehr should have got a star. Caps win and now have a 14 ponit adavantage in the SE divison with a heard four more games against the Panthers and they have to win those key contests against the didvison games they have kleft.the Caps are 34-16-4 a great mark and must keep winnoing to hold second in the East and to make a run on Boston who lost bit in OT vs OPhilly so they only oick up one point not two. They have a ton of divisoion games left and get to see what kind of opponents they have ibn their divison the SE with Tampa ATlanta and Florida and Carolina who they have played the most so far out of the four. Keep it up Caps and you will have a great seed heading into the the most importnat games the Playoffs.
