cAps win vs Philly with Ovie shinig Bright

ALex Ovechkin the games top star and for good reason. He made a great play on a shorthanded breakway to come from behind ala darrell Green and caught up slid and poke checked thepuck away. Laughlin said it was the defsnive play of the game alltough some other Caps goit there sticks in front of and to pucks on juicy rebounds that could have been also claissified as goal savers. Eraly Fehr whiffed but got a seocnd hack and knocked it off the crossbar the Caps best chance in the firts period. The Caps would get 2 PPs to Philly's 4 as usual the refs giving the other team mnore PPs 99% of the time. Ovechkin on his D work "i had to skate as hard as i could to ctach up then i dtill a liitle behind so i dove and poked the puck away". Great play adn way to try to p[rove you desreve back to back MVPs. Then on the Caps first PP Baklcstrom swung to Ovie who wristed one right to Laich who moved into greta position in front and tipped the shot in it might have been going in anyway Lauihc's 17th from Ovehckin and bakcstrom. then Philly got a great 2 on 1 chance and made it count as a slap pass came on a fkae hsot thta Knumble would have a wide open net to score on and he didin't miss it. Theo had a great save in this one dicving across his crease and like a great shortstop snatched the puck with his glove saving a goal. he was second star making 35 saves. Then late in thes second Ovie would hit someone behind the net Smein would come in adn steal the pass touched it to Ovie who had skated to the front of the net and he one timed it top shelf far side for his 10th gamewinner of the year and NHL best 48th of the season just to away from his thrid srtraight 50 goal season assist Semin just a greta play soemthing the capitals having been doing throughout the year. Ovie had a chance for another goal tewice late making a great play on a funny carem that was hsot at net Ovie kicked the puck to his stick while diving and wristed it off the post which i think he also slammed intro with his head. The Caps did not shoot at the empty net opting to dump the puck back to center instead of risking the icing call but those empty netters make things a lot easier and i Think they need to take those shots cuz they are good at them ive seen some long empty netters thijs year for the caps who are riding a two game win streak. Next up Carolina and they need to finish this late season up well only trailing top team Boston by 7 and 2nd place New Jersye by 1 who both won tonight unfortunatley or things could look real good for the caps but in reality things still look rela good for the Caps after that jaw dropping 4 game losing streak had people going hey what's up with the Caps? they havent lost four staright all year and never under Vruce Voudreu. Well the fixed it up but havent yet secured there playoff birth and division crown so they still need to play hard and win games Let's GO CAPS!!!!!!!
