It took 2 OTs but the Terps held on Hayes missed a late ft so lead stayed at 2 then a missed 3 and board to Moisley he makes boith 4 point lead one tick left game over Terps win at Tech 104-100 in a thriller.

Clemson started this one well jumping out to a 15 pt lead but the Terps fought hard after that and went on to take the lead and hold it winning 79-88 spurred on by buig 3s key stops and solid overall play shutting down the Clemosn 3 in the 2nd half which was so buig for tghem in the 1st 8-16 1st half 2nd 3-14 and that was the major differnce as the terps contested and stopped 19 of 30 tries form deep.

The Caps would fall behind then tie all night and to the SO it went went in the 4th round a bounce off the post hiy Jose in the back and went in and the Caps couldnt proling the game as the save on the opposite ened was made. The Caps get the pt and San Jose lost to the Sabres so they are alone in 1st in the league but just by the slimmest of leads so now to the Olympics where some Caps will play hockey form their countries and not DC so it might draw my interest but not like the Caps do. BVlues scopred 1st but Knuble would tie when Green whoiffed on a shot it went right to Mike in front and he stuuffed it into the back of the net his 22nd from Green adn Semin a PPG a 2 on 1 for St Louis had a high shot go top conrer and Jose wasnt their to stop it but SMein would come back and fire a wrister top corner oin a good cycle Semin 20th from B Morrison adn laich but abounce that Jose didnt dtect ended up going over his shoulder and score 2-3 but Knuble would tie when Bakcstrom drove to the net and flipped a shot off a d it layed in the crease and Knuble bnachhand shoiveled it into the back of th ent his 23rd form Nik and Green Knuble almost had a hatrivck after Nik skated in Mike slipped behind the d Nik passed Mike cuaght dropped uit and tried the stuff but was denied would have been 4 straight 3 goal hatricks for the Caps tuying the reocrd but it wasnt to be. the shootourt had Smein robbed Nik and Ovie tried 5 hole stufffs and B Mo the alst try he went over the leg but couldnt get that socring touch and the Bluees win that one in 4 rounds 0-1 Knuble 3rd star 2 G PPs Caps 2-6 Blues 1-6 faceoffs 43-28 Caps Hits 19-22 Blues Shoyts 34-36 Blues but i give the Caps alot of credit for that one point cuz they had to kill abou 1:20 worth of 5 on 3 and they did that and then killed 40 more ticks on a PP and that got them to OT but they couldnt score ibn the SO and it should have gone longer i think Jose thought the play was over after the shot hit the post and the puck caught him on the backside lucky break for the Blues cost the Caps that extra point game over but agood one nonetheless next
The Caps played a poor d game tonight but almost had another comeback but they fall 5-6 Semyon letting some through he wishes he could have saved Semin a hatrick three games 3 of those for the Caps and they led 4-3 but a late 2nd period tally tied it and 2 form the Sens in the 3rd to just Semin's goal was the 3rd ans Smein had a chance for a forth but fired too quick and it went wide had he controlled first he could have scored his 4th but he was trigger happy. Ottawa score dthe first 2 one of a fcaeoff was shot in and a roofer was the other then Fleichman wristed one 7 hole that hit the back of the net his 18th from Semin and Green then Ottwaa made iut 1-3 on a shoit over Semyon's leg that went in Shlutz would fuire a long wrister hjust inside the blue line top corner into the net his 3rd from Ovie and Green the Smein struck with a wrister that hit net his 27th from Laich another wrister went roof and in from the other ALex his 28th from from B Morrison adn Laich then the 3rd was Ottawa scoring twice lat in the second a juciy rebound got hit just past the line a goal barely 4-4 then a 5 holer and a wrsiter beat Smeyon Semin scored his 3rd another well shot wrister his 29th from noone 5-6 then pulled the goalie but no great chance came from it and the game was over senidng the Caps out of Canada 0-2 and 1 pt to show for it PPs Caps 0-2 Sens 2-2 faceoffs 35-34 Caps Hits 22-24 Sens Shots 24-28 Sens and one thing Ottawa ewxcelled in wasblocking shots as they would get in the wy of numerous Caps shots Semyon 22 saves but showed some rust and he hasnt played in 30 games and tonight he wasnt sharp like he usualy is and they were some shots he should have stopped but i think hell be in top form if he gets to play Sat in St Louis 2nd star Smein he sghoiuld have been 1st 3 G and 1 A thats top star in my book even if you dont win Lat game before a long breajk Caps dont get back onto the ice becuase of the winter Olympuics til March 3rd so a long break in the NHL action so Caps would like the break to come after a big win in ST LOuis they need that now and im sure theyt are dissapointed leaving Candad after 2 games with just 1 point. LETS GO CAPS SHOW THEM HOW TO SLUG SHOTS LIKE ALBERT PUJOLS!!!!!!!!
The Caps had to claw back down 2-5 in the 3rd they rallied for 3 goals but with 7 ticks left in Ot Montreal scored a backbreaker that sent the Caps to there first loss in a long time and i really wanted this to go to shootout and the last chacne of the game possibly ended it bad for the Caps. Lauch had a hatrick though and deflected a crosiing pass with 18 ticks left to tie it and sent it to OT so hey the Caps win streak got them to the top of the NHL and a point dont hurt as bad as a regulation loss so there is a positive into sending oit to extra time The goals the first was Mon holdintg the puck alomng time apss to the middle half was placed past Neuvirth then the Caps tied on Laich scoring on a pretty deke after apretty pass to him he goes bnackhand forehand and stuffs it in his 18th from Falsh and Semin then Mon scores when apuck defelects off a cap right to a candiend in front with Neuvirth unaware the net opned to muich and it was an easy stuff. But the Caps would strike right back on a sweet passing play Nik fed Ovie for the one timer but Ovie reurned it back to Nik who had alot of room to wrist fire the puck into the back of the net 26th from Ovie and Green Mon would then score 3 in arow the 3rd off the skate passed infront deflection they reviwed but so no kick only the turning of the skate and it was allowed then some well p[laced wreisters made it 2-5 but a strabnge play in the second Ovie crashed a d into the goalie puck goes in but not allowed cuz of incidental contact i thought it was a great goal and initially ruled a score was reversed but the Caps would get a Green wrister ealry 3rd shot in the right spot his 14th from Nik Laich wouyld tally on a 2 on 1 instead of pasisng he wrsaited one real fast 5 hole his 19th no assists the he would redirect another puck 5 hole his 20th 3rd of the ga,me from Knuble and Ovie back to back hatricks for the Caps first Ovie last game and Brooks this one 5-5 OT but a 2 on 2 at the end of Ot wopuld seee Mon slip amna behind the d and a feed come through the crease to him for the tip in and that ended the game and the Caps illusrtious win streak but they get that point and are now 41-12-7 89 pts 2 ahead of the HSraks and alone in the top spot penthouyse sweet Brooks the 2nd star are you kidding he had 3 goals PPs Caps 1-7 Mon 1-5 Neuvirth 12 saves Jose 21 saves Semnyon looking to return soon is on the trip mauybe hes backl saturday or tommorow cuz Jose was supposed to start that one but got work in this meaning Semyon might be back in net for the Caps tommorow for the first time a quite a while he was great when he was in net eralier this season 12-1-2 fcaeoffs 35-39 Moin Hits 17-15 Caps Shots 38-39 Mon Caps want to start another lengthy streak tommorow in Ottawa they fall just a tre short of tying the alltime win streak record but 14 is still great in my book and Caps fans are proud as they could be of that partuiclura accomplishment hey we got enough games left thois year we can still break it right Caps YEAH LETS GO CAPS IMPEACH THE SNEATORS DOES CANDA EVEN HAVE A SNEATE!!!!!!!!!
This game was seesaw Hoyas leading alot of the first Providence leading a good part of the 2nd but not by much and Hoyas storming back and garbaing an 8 pt lead and holding it winning 79-70 @ Providnece. Thjis was one the Hoyas didnt want to lose cuz they beat top teams Duke and Nova but lost to USF and if they lost this one they would have some regret about not winning games they are favored in but they got the job done and made the plays aften in the latter part of the 2nd that gave them the lead they held onto.

The Caps said 13 in a row aint good enough so they made it 14 staright consecutive Ws even though they trailed 4-1 later on in the 2nd but this guy Ovie who many say is the best hockey player in the world decided he needed to go to that next level and start scoring in bunches and he racked up 3 a hatrick and the fourth goal i thought one the game was really a stuff in by Knuble but i dont care who scored it as long as it hits the back of the net and an OT thrille ends 4-5 in favor of the Caps. The first goal was the Pens as their man got by a d and got one in then again on a good passing play the Pens score again finding a man alone inf ornt he makes amove and scores 2-0 Ovie would get along feed and be sent in alone on a break and stick one 5 hole which the golaie exposed too long and Ovie hits the back of the net his 40th from Shlutz 2 more tallys for Pitt would have DC in a deficit but not large enough and Fehr scores after his backhand crestes a juciy rebound he gets to that rebounds and wrsits aroofer past the golaie his 15th from B morrsion the 3rd would be 2 talls from Ovie one he tries defeklcting a shot it bounses off a d and back to him and he quickly backhands one 5 hole again his 41st from Poti and Nik then he woulds core right off the faceoff in the o zone when Nik ties it up Knuble gets to it and dishes to Ovechkin who fires one wrister far side and into the net his 42nd from Knuble and Backstrom a major play in this was when Pitt had a 5 on 3 for 48 secs but the Caps killed it and that was huge for them then they kill a late PP to send it in to OT where the Caps get a PP when Semin was highsticked in the face and Ovie fires a slapper off the ball the opuyck lays juciily in the cresase and Knuble shoves it in five holer for the gamewinner his 21st from Ovie and Green 4-5 gameover Caps celebaret their impressive streak faceoffs 39-34 Pens hits 17-32 Caps Shots 35-34 Pens Jose 31 svaes and he kept it toied with some golden glove work. 1st star Ovie with 3 G 1 A 3rd Fehr 1 G Next up a trip to Canada Wedbnesday to face Montreal Caps 41-12-6 88 pts San Jose 2nd with 85 LETS GO CAPS GOING NORTH TO CANaDA AND LETS MAKE CANADA DRY WITH A COUPLE XCAPS WINS!!!!!!!

In snow packed DC the game went on and the Hoyas played about as good as you can on the O side D was good especially on d ing up the 3s and the Hoyas give Nova their foirst big east loss 90-103. Calrk was huge in this one nailing his first 6 3 balls and Freeman and Monroe picked the slack because Wright was in fopul trouble and wasnt scoring at his normal clip.

Hoyas now 17-5 they beat Duke now Nova but lost to USF and they will jump up in the rankings beatoing #9 and today #2 if only they had held on in that USF game they would be top 3 i tyhink maybe now 5 or 4 but they are a great team when they play their game and thats finding the open man for 3 4 guys are good at that Chris Austin Jason adn Hollis and of ourse some solid post play trebounding and blokcs from greg and Julian.

The Caps played another terrific inspired game tonight not getting down after NY's PP kept getting goals but the Caps rally and play another domiant 3rd period winning 6-5 in NY at MSG. The first goal was NY the first tally a tip in fornt that eluded Josebut Boyd would answer on a nifty passing play and he got the drop pass and one time drilled top shelf and into the net his 3rd from Dave and Matt 1-1 then Ny scores again simlar to trhe caps 1st goal actually just like it beat Jose up top then another sweet passing play Ovie behind and around the net drops to Backstrom who dishes behind the back to Knuble Ny goalie couldnt keep up and Knuble drills the shot into the back of the net his 20th from Nik and Ovie 2-2. Caps take the lead when Ovie sets up on the point PPG setup and wristes one under the glove over the leg 7 holer into the back of the net his 37th from Nik a PPG. Then a fortunate riccochet goes right to NY and Jose falters 3-3 then a 5 on 3 Ny has they score on a quick passing play then another fortuante bounce goes there way Jose got bumped but no call 3-5 NY but Ovie makes it a one goal game at the end of the 2nd when slips the puck behnd the d gets it back and stuffs off the pads of the goalie it bounces high and goes over the shoulder and falls past the goal line his 38th from Nik. To the 3rd Caps score twice NY 0 thef irst Poti wrsits one i think Knuble got a stick on it but Poti gets credit it hist nothing but the back of the ent his 3rd from Nik and Flash a PPG the Nik nets the game winner when Knuble cant get his stick on it to score a stuff it bounces back to where Ovie and Nik are ste up and Nik got the first and slapped one low corner into the back of the net his 24th from Falsh and M Knuble 6-5 Caps that's how it would end faceoffs 37-34 Caps Hits 28-33 NYR SHots 32-38 NYR PPs Caps 3-9 NYR 4-6 Jose 33 saves and some sweet ones tro boot 1st star Ovie 1 G 2 A 2nd Nik 1 G 4 A Caps have won 12 stariught adding to their perosnal best next up Atlanta visists DC tommorow and they have traded their top gun to NJD Caps now 39-12-6 still best in the league 84 pts so add another Caps LETS GO CAPS LETS GO AT HOME IN VERIZON!!!!!!!!
The Caps game was big tonight for 2 reasons 1 they need points if they want to be the NHL's best and 2 they were trying to set a franchise record for most wins in a row and they DID IT 11 straight wins is the new Caps best and the all time best is Pittsburgh 17 straight so the Caps have 6 more to go to tie the record and woudlnt that be great if they could break it I bet they can. Boston scored 1st but the next for goals were by players in a Caps jersey and a 3 goal 3rd period had Boston scrambling to make a game of it and they failed now goal details thef irst was Bopston on a 5 on 3 where they fed the front and a shot slipped between Theo but Jose was on point all night making big save after huge save he evn stopped a penalty shot. The Caps would tie when Knuble was passed to while skating at the net and he stuffs in the pass his 19th from Poti and Nik and Knuble has been the Caps hottest goal scorer recently i dont think Ovie has more goals in the last 10 but i could be wrong. Then the 3rd Laich takes a feed and quickly goes with a wrister 5 hole to put the Caps ahead his 17th from Smein then Poti skates and dekes around and past 2 d and slides the puck to the side where Boyd Gordon has room to put the puck and he stuffs in the feed tremendous moves by Poti he was looking like Mike Green tonight and it is so important to have a d then set up scoring chances like that somethink Mike Green is always trying but he goes too fats and leaves people eating his dust while To,m tonight did iyt poised and composed gicng his teammates a chacne to skate with himn and be part of the play slow down Mike youre gonna need help Boyd's 2nd from poti and Pothier the Ovie seals the deal when he gets the puck with the empty net wide open and by the boards he slides a backhander that hits nothing but the back of the net his 36th from well he did it all by himself 4-1 the final 1st star Jose and he deserved it making 41 stops he was busy in net tonight and played great (where us Semyon varlamov the Caps current w streak has been a lot of Jose mixed in with a little Michael Neuvirth but im sure Smeyon's getting better that dang rehab start he got hurt in so they may not send him to Hershey this time 2nd star Poti 2 A Shots 26-42 Bruins faceoffs 34-38 Bruins Hits 19-23 Bruins PPs Caps 0-4 Bostobn 1-6 and the Caps improve to 38-12-6 82 pts best in the NHL with San Jose playing Dteroit late tonight go Detroit you can do it Red Wings and if the Wings prevail in regulation Caps will be all alone atop the NHL. it would good to be back in the top spot next up a trip to NY to face the Rangers Thursday @ 7:00 as the Caps look for a 12th staright and another record breaker or record adder SO LETS GO CAPS WE RUN NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!
