We are truly a team of destiny!!!

Screw the Super Bowl. That game was 10 times better!!!

Lol golf. Chasing Steve Stricker doesn't have quite the same ring as Chasing Tiger.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

they have a damn good chance to tie the pens record right before the break i hope they beat that and then win the cup which would really one up the pens since they didn't win the cup when they had their streak

Correction....that would be Cindy! The usual whinny little bitch she is! Got out shinned by the BEST PLAYER in the universe #8.

Didn't make the game...COME ON MAN!

The CAPS ARE freakin unreal......GREAT game. OVY is the best player on the planet! Way to dig deep and do the usual 3rd period magic trick!

Great to watch, history in the making. Keep it going.

GO CAPS!!!!!!

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

I don't know much about Hockey, but fourteen in a row is simply amazing. The Caps are truly giving the City something to shout about, at least until the Redskins re-emerge.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

It's been amazing watching this streak. Time after time we've gotten off to a bad start and I sit there thinking, man they can't keep coming back again and again, but yet they do it every time. Today I was thinking it's over, down 4-1, the Pens of all teams, felt like game 7 all over again, it's gotta be over now and then one little goal turned into 2, then 3, and then finally the capper in OT. It's just amazing how this team does it and I feel like it's truly special witnessing this because I may never get to see a streak this great again in my lifetime. It's gotta end sometime but damn if I'm not enjoying it while it lasts.

This year feels even more like our year than last year did. We have 2 solid years of playoff experience, we've been in 3 series with the core of this team and all 3 have gone to game 7's, so we should be really setting ourselves up for success once the regular season is over. This is just getting me even more amped to see this team in the postseason now. What a special time to be a fan of the Caps.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

that was a hell of a mofrackin game

I had to keep convincing my roomie not to change the channel when we were down 4-1

very very sloppy game though

Will be interesting to see how the Caps keep the momentum going with the Olympics break.

At this point though, I think anything less than a Cup Finals appearance will be a disappointment

i can't wait for this game to get going, it seems like it's been a week since sunday it's hard to be trapped in the house with no sports on tv

I wish we had just one extra game before the Olympics. Then we'd have a chance to set the record prior to the break. Good old uncle mo will be gone after the winter games most likely.

But Varly will be back.... :)

i just googled to see if he was still planning on playing in the olympics and looks like he will

the article also talked about ov8 and his mother, interesting fact i never knew of, his mom won two gold medals in basketball for soviet union in 76 and 80

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

it seems like a ton of guys are getting hit with shots in the past few caps game, i really don't understand why more guys don't wear face masks

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

best goal of ov8's career right there flat out awesome

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

what the hell just happened that was a goal, how can they take it away with no explaination

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Well, this could be the night it ends. However them taking the goal away from Ovie was BS, and their 3rd goal should not have stood. Oh well. Thems the breaks.

here we go again time for ot, too bad that should have been the game winner since ov8's goal/nogoal was complete bs

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Atta boy Brooksie. First ever hat trick

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

had to end sometime, i'm still salty about that ov8 goal, sucks to lose it like this but lets go caps!!!!

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Oh well. Nothing lasts forever. Great run.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

That 3rd period was true CAPS hockey at it's best, what a comeback. It should have never come to that. But thats a hard grinding team with no quit inside that group.

Tough loss in OT. But all GREAT things must come to an end. The bright side they still landed 1 point.

Well done. This team is on track to go the distance.

GO CAPS!!!!!

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

I can't believe they were able to do all this without Varly. If he comes back healthy then we're going to be dangerous. I mean my goodness, even when we suck we're good.

Congrads to Brooks on the hat trick. I remember he was in a little bit of a scoring slump earlier in the year.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

What's crazy is that even with spotty goaltending (and defense at times), we have the best record in hockey and 40 (40!!!) more goals than the next closest team. We're averaging more than half a goal/gm more than than any other team.

And now after the Olympics we get Varly back. Man oh man. This is some sweet hockey we're getting treated too.

Yeah that is pretty crazy.. too many damn games where we give up 3-5 goals and still win. They showed a stat yesterday where we're the only winning team in the league when giving up the first point of a game.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

I think the Caps should go after either Tomas Kaberle or Scott Niedermayer. They're both available right now. Personally I like Kaberle. He would be a great addition as a good stout defenseman, and would really push our defensive corps in the right direction.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

We look pretty tired tonight. Nice to see Varly back.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Man if we can get any kind of consistency from out netminders, we'll be unstoppable. Our ability to score and score in bunches is just outrageous.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Yeah exactly, shit if we only give up 2 goals we're nearly guaranteed to win.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

the olympics kinda turned out to be a blessing hopefully they can recharge their batteries and come back looking good

Yeah, but our top players are going to be playing all out for the pride of their home land.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Caps hockey is finally back, and I think Ovi is going to be hungry as hell for a cup.

Also thought it was interesting to note that Buffalo netminder Ryan Miller received a standing O from Pittsburgh last night (bigger than Crosby's applause). Hopefully he takes another night off against the Caps tonight.

New acquisition Scott Walker has 2 goals in the 3rd! The other 2 look to be contributing a ton too. So ready for this run!

Here's the interview Caps GM George McPhee did with Elliot in the Morning yesterday:

Yeah that was great to see, we look poised for a deep run.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

good game by the Caps tonight btw.. got a lil lost in watching the Duke game to comment on it before now

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
 

Looks like the hit that got Ovi throw out of today's game might cost the checkee the rest of his season:

[url=http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nhl/news/story?id=4994950]After hit by Alexander Ovechkin, Chicago Blackhawks' Brian Campbell to possibly miss rest of season - ESPN Chicago[/url]

It's too bad because it was really just more of a push and the guy just took a header.

It's also too bad because it was an otherwise awesome comeback by the Caps and a huge road win.
