RSS FeedLet’s Go Caps!
The Caps were off to a rough start, and not just because of the 3 point deficit they had playing against Calgary in the 1st period. At 10 minutes till 7 last night (game time) the lines to get into the Caps home opener at the Verizon Center (601 F ST NW) were dozens deep. Security guards were wanding each person who entered, leading to a big delay in getting into the game.
By the middle of the first period the area looked at capacity, but many of the people around us wondered why they’d bothered to show up in the first place, since the Caps players obviously hadn’t. By the end of the first period Holtby was gone, and some in the crowd were considering taking off themselves.
If you’ve read the paper this morning, or stuck it out last night, you know the next two periods, overtime, and a shootout told a much better (for the Caps, anyway) story. Back up net-minder Neuvirth only gave up one more goal for the rest of the game, and rookie defenseman Connor Carrick scored the first goal of his career (and the first for the caps that night). Throw in a pair of goals by Ovechkin, and the tying goal from Backstrom, and enough after the whistle activity to satisfy any fan of the more pugilistic side of the game and, well you have a heck of an entertaining night in PQ.
