Ovechkin Leads Caps past Florida

Ovie had 3 goals to boost his kleague leading mark to 41 talluies. Green' streak stopped and Jose had another good very good game. Ovechkin started the scoring on the PP when he got the puck skated to center zobne and wrsited one low shelf far side to beat Vokoun his 39th assisted by the usual Semin adn Bakcstrom and that first line just keeps racking up the points maybe the best line in the league and they get my vote for that. Then early in the second fehr nets anotehr one as Federov drove to the net and dished the puck which Fehr backhanded far side low shelf to beat Vokoun and Fehr keeps scoring and is hot right now his 9th asssisted by Fedrov and Flecihman. 2-0 Caps. But Florida would make a game out of it as Frolic was in front undefended and wristed one in. Then Horton would make anopther goal as he score don the zPP on a juicy rebound tip in ad Jose was on his back and did not attempt tos tsop the puck. But late in the third Ovie would get a rink long pass from bakctrom get it at the blue line skate in and wrist one between the d skate and past Vokoubn i think five hole and the Caps would take the elad back late Ovie's 40th assisted by Backstrom. Then with amnd empty net Ovie would backhand the puck all the way down the ice off the ppst and in his 41st assist by SHultz. Horton would ring one off the post on the PP but it would not go in and ovie was sset up one a few one timers but they hit the post too. Florida was 1-8 on the PP and The Caps kept denying them after taking too stupid delay of game penalties. It's like the forget they can't just ythropw the puck off the ice in the defensive szone. Jose made 29 saves and was third star Hirton was second and of course the man with the htarick LAex Ovechkin was first star with a great game. FDLorida wsa 11 points back and now are 13 and the Caps showed them that they don't want FLorida creeping any closer to them in the standoimngs and the won also helped them stay toied withn jersey who defated Sabnn Jose. Caps atre 9 ponits behind Boston and now are rated third althougfh they are tied with Jersey and the Rangers are 6th and Buffalo is 7th tied with FLorida and the middlew is Philly at 4 and the Caps next opponent Montreal at 5. Tune in Wed nesday for that game and let's hope the caps can strecthj that w streak to 3 vs Montreal.
