Caps blank Sabres

The Caps played a whole 60 minutes tonight something loyal Caps followers have been almost begging of this squad to do killed a major penalty then a minor and had no advantafes of their own but took an ealry lead and incresed it to 2 late in the 3rd and won 2-0. Nik Backstrom missed an empty net with 15 ticks left but the Caps didnt need it as Smeyon gets his first shutout of his career in the regaular season not sure if he blanked Ny in the postseasoin in the 09 playoffs and he gets top star Ovie scored a nice goal 2nd and Pothier played solid all night for third. Ovie's goal was one wheer he skated into the season went laterly and flicked a wristet past the goalie for a wuick 1-0 lead his 17th from Shultz. Then fehr would be in front of the net and Brendan Morrsion found after he rapped around dished and Fehr swung and knockked it into the bakc of the net his 4th from Morrsion and Green. Shots Caps 24 Buf 25 PPs Buf 0-3 Caps 0-0 no chances a man up and thats a difficult way to play a game let me tell you with no oppurtuties on the man up or advatrage. Semyon 25 saves and some great ones that turned the home crowd crazy as he shutdown the Sabres offense when they tried him. Casp now 14-5-6 tied atop the east as the Penguins stayed with the Caps winning their game toinight so no breathing room yet and the Devils have 31 pts in 3 fewer games so they are lurking in 2nd. Next up a trip into Canada to face the Cabnadiens and im sure the Caps would love to pay them back witha beating since the trip through Canada they just took was not a strong one. Thats Saturday at 7:00. Caps snap their 3 game losing slide and want to start a winning streak they want wins. ABe Polin died yesterday and our prayers go out to that family and any one in DC who knew or liked the owner of the Wiz and former owner of the Caps somehow i feel hes watching the Verizon Center from up above and he truly brought fond memeroies to DC sports fans. LETS GO CAPS LETS GO ABE
