Sports of the Nation's Capital and the Czech Republic

The title says it all. The Caps skated up to Thomas, faked a shot, he fell pathetically and the rest is history. He also fell in the tunnel, but more on that later.

“I don’t believe in the Obama curse,” said Timothy Thomas. “Mainly because he sucks, which is why I didn’t want to meet him. Didn’t want to run off on me, but then again, Barack sucks. I have no idea what I am saying.”

Recap:

-The first and second period basically didn’t exist.

-Wideman scored the Caps first goal – assisted by Ovi.

-Mojo-Jojo scored the second Caps goal on a beautiful pass from Ovi.

-Then the Bruins tied it.

-Tim Thomas fell “on his butt.”

-Caps win.

-Tim Thomas falls again. We blame Tuuka Rask and Zdeno Chara.

Worth Noting:

-Tomas Vokoun reinjured his balls.

-Ovi had two points.

-Tim Thomas strained his butt or something.

-The Obama Curse lives on — Tim Thomas has not beat the Caps in Boston since refusing to meet President Obama.

Obama Curse: Anyone who refuses to meet Obama, is named Tim, and plays for Boston, will not win at home against Washington as long as they are a goalie. Switching positions voids the curse.

Despite falling one goal short of getting all Caps fans discounted pizza tomorrow, the Caps played well tonight. Semin played good, Ovi played good, and Holtby got a shutout.

Recap:

- Semin and Chimmer started the scoring off early by bringing it into the zone, and essentially murdering the beast (The Minnesota Wild) early. Semin set up Chimmer, which was a magnificent play.

-Then Knuble deflected the puck of the play accidentally and the Caps got a powerplay. I like the way things are going for us now.

-Ovi passes to Brouwer, who takes it in the zone, and then he proceeds to make the cross-crease pass to Perreault, who makes it 2-0. Absolutely brilliant.

-Then, out of nowhere, Ovechkin grabs the puck when Mojo gets pinned against the boards. He takes it, uses the D-man as a screen, and shoots it five-hole. Goal. 9 goals in the last 7 games for him! And a 5 game goal scoring streak as well. Anyone who thinks Ovi doesn’t care, or isn’t what he used to be, can go back to hiding.

-Holtby gets the shutout and starts to slightly earn my respect, however, I still regard the goalies as the following: Vokoun > Neuvirth > Holtby.

Worth Noting:

-3rd shutout of Holtby’s career (They all came against bad teams though, so we’ll see what happens).

-Semin set up an assist, and then was criticized by a man who commits domestic violence (Mike Milbury).

-Ovi has a 5 game goal scoring streak.

-Dale Hunter got a new tie, in what will prove to be the highlight of this evening.

-Neuvirth is a little worried, one has to assume. It’s okay, though, he has his buddy, @tomasvokoun29, to comfort him.

-The Caps dressed 7 defensemen tonight, instead of playing Cody Eakin as a winger. Not a terrible decision.

-Florida lost in a shootout.

-Caps regained the 8th seed in the East with the win tonight.

“Yeah, we played pretty fucking great, you know,” says Caps coach, Dale Hunter, “You know, we deserved the, you know, two points. I didn’t know, you know, if Holtby would, you know, be good, but luckily, the Wild suck, you know.”

“I score goal, crowd cheers. It took me while to see this,” mentioned Caps captain, Alex Ovechkin, “I like fans cheer for me. I want to continue, so I score goal. I need score on Miller now.”

Ovechkin attempted to fly during this afternoon's game.

The Caps face off in DC against Buffalo on Tuesday. We need two more points.

We are all sad.

It all started and ended within 30 seconds for the Caps tonight. Ovechkin showed up to play – and score. Holtby blew the game, twice. Not a surprise though, because, as we all know, he sucks. Neuvirth is much better.

Recap:

-Ovechkin scored. His 33rd of the season, and he isn’t stopping until he passes Scott Hartnell in goals (35 goals).

-Holtby ruined the game twice. He completely failed on a breakaway, and sucked in the shootout on the winning goal. Who brought this thing up from Hershey?

-Dennis Wideman can be blamed too. He’s a bad skater.

Worth Noting:

-The Caps chances of winning the SE division are as slim as they have ever been now.

-Alexander Semin and Tomas Vokoun were out of the lineup tonight due to sore testicles sustained from a collision with John Carlson’s fist. “Yeah, I know Sasha scores in Philly a lot, but he really angered me yesterday morning so I figured I’d break his balls. Tomas Vokoun is still hurt as well. Don’t mess with Johnny C,” said Carlson post game.

-Ovechkin is the man right now. 6 goals in the last 5 games for him – WOWZA!

-Holtby should be sent down, but he won’t be, because Vokoun’s balls still hurt.

-The Caps earned a point. That’s the only positive from this game.

“You know, I thought we, you know, played a good game. You know, Holtby sucks, and I expect more out of him, but, you know, he’s a fighter, and he’ll recoup for tomorrow if he plays.” Dale Hunter said when asked how he thought Holtby played.

“I think we play hard, but Holts really break my balls tonight by letting in goal. He suck. I will never use shaving cream to pie his face.” Ovechkin said in his post game, furious-filled rant.

“I wish I could play. My balls hurt too much though. John Carlson is jerk.” Sasha Semin yelled from the press box during the 4th round of the shootout.

Suckby played bad in net tonight. I'm glad Mike Green called him out.

Good night, and see you tomorrow against the Winnisuck Jets.
