Caps@Canes

So here it is... our final meeting with the capitals. Ovechkins head is as big as ever after he scored his 50th goal. I look for them to come out shooting like crazy in this one. We need to play great defense and have alot better puck control. We CAN NOT turn the puck over in our own zone and think we can win this one. We need this win just as bad as we needed lastnight. Go Canes!

We need this win it would go a long way it securing our playoff berth...We need to attack the goal but not get out of position on defense with the Caps speed and passing....

GO CANES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Must win, Right now we are in 6th place after last night. We stay there we get the caps in round one......(The NHL would love that, a Rivalry game in the first round between division foes.) It would be a good series for sure.

Nice WIn for the Canes, 4 - 1

What a clear out that turns into an empty netter..

What a great game. I touched upon this the other night, but I am really begin to take notice to Joni Ptikanen. His game is just on. He plays the puck so well on defense. Great to see him get that point. Also did you notice that 3 of our 4 points tonight were scored by our defense??? Pitkanen,Babchuck, and Corvo. That by the way has to be the longest shot I have seen. Its great to have a defense that can score. I will be watching the Florida feed monday night of our game on center ice. Huge help tonight by columbus and toronto, and yet buffalo couldnt beat the rangers... pitty. Soo close... keep it up... Go Canes!

That goal was crazy

I was jumping up and down while it was skidding across the ice...

It's exciting to be in the playoff mix and to be playing well

I still remember attending games in Greensboro when the rink was sometimes half empty

WHAT A GAME!!!! Theodore was fantastic for the caps tonite there were at least 3 shouldve been goals the he saved....Unfortunaley for him and the Caps our Own Cam Ward was just a little better....That goal by corvo was great....Montreal lost their at 81 pts right now Rangers won they got 84, and We have 85..6th place one point behind Philly and Pittsburgh

I would rather face the flyers...Let Crosby and Co. take on Ovekchin to see who is the better up and comer

But we have played the Caps well lately......

Brind'Amour slamming Ovechkin's giant misshapen head into the board = Priceless.

We just need this mentality for the rest of the season. Good news is we dont have to worry about a jammed pack schedule. Bad news means we have to be as good as it gets we cant have a bad game. Plus other teams have to loose. I like our chances but Im not going to buy my playoff tickets just yet.
