Caps win vs Toronto

The Caps jumped out to a staggering lead in this one scoring goal after goal mounting a 6-1 lead after 2 and won 6-4 after a shaky 3rd that had great scorimng chances by Ovie just missing. Ovie scored early in the 1st going 5 hole his 3rd from Backstrom and Smein. Knuble would score on the PP cleaning up a rebound his 1st from Calrk and Ovie. Laich would score on a breakaway backhand forehand and into then net his 3rd from Jurcina and Morrsion keepoing pace with the MVP Ovie. Troronto would make it 3-1 on a nice passing play. But Smein controlled a rebound and fired it in his 1st from Erskine who balsted the shot. MNorrsion would get a breakway and backhand one top shelf his 1st from Green adn Laich. Then Smein would drive to the net go bakchand passed the goalie and score his 2nd from Ovie backstrom. 6-1 Caps heading to the third and im thinkung noway they can give this one up but they allow three goals in the thirs and make it somehwat close late but the Caps would win 6-4 failing to score with 2 minyues of empty net time. 1st star Semin 2 goals and assist. 2nd star Ovie 1 goal 2 A and third Laich 1 G 1 A. Varlamov was busy making 27 saves but allowed 4 goals high for him. PPs Caps 1-3 Leafs 0-3 and the Caps have not allowed a PP goal in 8 tries and are 4-7 so their special teams are great. Caps are 2-0 and looking to top the East this year and forget about 2nd place maybe have the best record but that only pays off in the finals if you get there. Expect Jose back in net and maybe a split of time beteween Jose and Varlamov who did make some nice saves in this one but allowed many goals but hey not six so it was enough to win.
