Caps lose to Montreal OT loss to Toronto

The Caps started Michael Neuvirth and he was good not great but a l;ate PP score put the Canadiens up 3-1. Fehr scpred the first goal a slick wroiter far side top hself his 3rd from Perrault and Green. Montreal scored the next three and late in the 3rd Morrison reeled in a slapper before it got to goalie and slipped it to his backhand and in past the befudlled netminder his 7th from Green and Backstrom the Caps would get a late PP and went 6 on four where they had great chances as Green's slapper hit the post and dangled dangerously in front of the net but no luck Green the erd star Caps 34 shots Mont 22 PPs Caps 0-3 MOnt 1-2 Neuvirth 19 saves. Next up Toronto where this was a low scoring game it would end regul;ation and OT at 1-1 and in the SO Toronto notched two and the Caps never gave their third guy a chance as it was a done deal at that point but the Caps pick up a point which is better than nothing. The Caps only goal came on a splendid passing play where Green slid the puck to Obvechkin but the golaie thoiyght Green was gonna shot which gave Ovie s little space and Ovie went middle near side into the bakc of the net 1-0 his 16th from Green and Laich. Torotont would fire a slpaper it would bounce in front off some boddies and eventually hit a Leafs hand and go in and i dont think Smeyon had a clue where it was or where it ended up. I said what happened in the SO and it wasnt a good finale for this Caps team as Fehr broke his stcik as first shooter and that made it hard to score. 2-1 final in the SO Next up a trip to Ottawa to face the Sneatrors. Semyon great made 38 saves PPs Caps 0-4 Leafs 0-2 shots 39 Leafs 32 Caps Smeyon 3rd star. Caps need a win and they want it now vs the Senators the reamin alone in first in the East but need to keep winning to maintain adn put distance between them and the rest of the conference. LETS GO CAPS
