Caps Beach Islanders

The Caps set a quick pace to this one opening the 1st period getting 2 scores early and then 2 more leading 4-1 after 1. They would add 3 more and NYI only 1 leading to a 7-2 beating although New Tork had the PP frequently and the Caps not so much. Caps have now one 7 stright and host ANaheim tommorow night doing the back to back thing and they wanna stay hot for that is the only way they will reach the top of the NHL standings. To the goals. Erskins deked a defender moved in closer and slapped one that B Morrison got his stick on and he deflected it into the back of the net his 11th from erskine. Then Semin would steal the puck skate around defenders do a 180 to his forehand and fling a wrsiter top far corner swish his 22nd unassisted. NYI would answer on a meanly aimed shot top near corner that gave Jose little time and not much of a chance as it went into the net. No worries Knuble would be fed in front of the net whack at the puck 3 times and eventually it would squirt past the line and count for a goal his 15th from Fleichman and Backstrom a PPG. Then Semin with little time left in the 1st would get in dish across but a d would get in the way and the puck came right back to Smein and he was quick to stash it with his backhand a pretty goal his 23rd again unassisted. Erskine would join the rusgh and be fed in tight where he promptly put the puck 5 hole and into the back of the net his 1st from fehr and Chimera 5-1. a pretty passing play would have an Isle out in front of the ent alone and he wopuld stash it low corner for a goal 5-2 but Chimera would score again for the Caps with a quick wrister that the goalie could not stop and Chimera hits nbothing but net his 11th (3rd with the Caps) from B Morrsion and Fehr and Chimera does add soem things like speed and the abilty to score goals Clark no insult to him he was a good player but i like the deal so far. Then laich would skate in put the puck between 2 d and get it past them on a 1 on 1 withe goal he flipes it top corner and into the net his 15th from FLeichman and it was a sweet goal and that was all the many goals the Caps scored and the 2 the Isles managed so big win for the Caps as they are fire hot right now beating evryone they have played the last 7 and they now they need and want to keep winning and keep adding to this string of Ws. They improve to 34-12-6 74 pts Semin 1st star 2 G Erskine 2nd a G a A Chimera 3rd a G a A faceofs 28-29 NY Hits 16-15 Caps Shots 33-31 Caps PPs 1-2 Caps Isles 1-5 Jose 18 saves on 20 shots Neuvirth stopped all 11 shots he faced as he repalced Jose not sure if Jose got dinged up or they wanted to rest him after 2 being up 6-2 but another goalie injury is not what the Caps want or we will see another young guy from hershey have to be added to the big club. Sneators shutout NJ 0-3 so they fall farther behind the Caps and thats good because NJ was playing pretty good recently. SO LETS GO CAPS YOU ARE AT HOME IN VERIZON AND YOU WANNA BEAT THOSE DUCKS SO LETS GO DUCK HUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
