Caps Lose In OT

In a game that had no scoring in the 1st period the second had 7 goals. The Caps traile by 1 but Ovie would fire his 4th far side low from Bradley adn Nik. The Ovie would get it right in front go backhand and fire a quick shot in the net his 5th from Nik he leads the lead in goals scored. Semin would deke though 2 degfenders and and fire one five hole his 3rd from green adn Morrison. Then Smein would score on the PP fire one that found net his 4th from Nik and Ovie. Morrison would give the Caps afive four lead after a rebound landed on him he breaked and the puck flew into the net his 2nd from Bradley and Laich but Boyd had an ill advoised penalty and it ended up to be a PP goal for Philly tying it up at 5-5. But Smein would be hooked down ona breajkway i thought there shoiudl have been a penalty shot with 53 second left but the Caps fail to score and late in Ot a rebound is put past Jose who came in after Semyon got pulled and the Caps lose but they had three fewer PP 1-5 while Philly had 9 3-9. Semyon 21 saves Jose 14 Ricahards had the hatrick for Phjilly and got first star Ovie seemingly always a star had 2 G 1 A and Briere who had the gamewiiner was 3rd star. a game the Caps should have one espcially with that short 4-3 in OT but i feel Ovie didnt shoot when he had a great one time feed and that cost them. Next up a visit from the Rangers who come to Verizon Thursday at 7pm the team the Caps beat in 7 ga,mes in round one of the playoiffs a year ago. SHould be a good one usually is whenever the Caps take the ice.
