Caps Dent Detroit

The Caps had to rely heavily on Jose tonight and he mad big save after huge save etc. and played great id be surprised if he's not top star tonight becaUSE the Wings had so many chances and he stopped all but 2 of them. First goal was Detroit's on a rebpund and Jose down and out the backhanded one from sharp angle and Jose put his glove up but the puck snuck through but the Caps would tie it on a sweet passing play where Bradley was fed going to the net and he breaked and flipped one up and in a sweet finish his 8th from Boyd and green Then with about 8 soem mintes left Detroit tied to dampen the evning by slpping a quick one 5 hole but the Caps would answer on the PP when Backstrom dkeed past a d and slung one lightning fast through the five hole his 20th from Ovie and Jose a PPG. Then less than a minute l;ater Smein b;lasted a shot tha got wekaened before it reached net and STeckel swiped it in cathcing the puck in mid air and senidng it into the back of the ent his 4th from Smein and ALzner 2-3 Caps a bad penalty would not cost them as they killed of the PP which they were great on all night and then with 2 sewconds left Matt tried for the empty net but missed just wide not sure if it would have went in before the clock tan out but it was the last play of the game so it didnt matter much. faceoffs 25-25 hits 17-30 Caps shots 46-23 Wings Jose 44 svaes PPs Caps 1-4 Wings 0-5 Jose is top star Nik 2nd the man that scored Detroit's 2md 3rd but the Caps win it with great goalie play and a spurt that had Detroit hurt. Caps now 31-12-6 68 pts i beleive thats best in the East it is and next up a matchup with the Penguins and the Caps would like to lessen the pain Pittsburgh caused them last palyoffs with a win and maybe a beatdown but hey just a win is fine this one Thursday at 7:30 Caps i believ have now won 4 staright so KEEP WINNING CAPS PUNISH THE PENGUINS ON THEIR ICE IT WOULD BE THE SWEETEST WIN OF THE SEASON SO FAR!!!!!!!!!!
