Game Day: Capitals



Does anyone remember what the inside of Philips Arena looks like? It's been so very, very long since opening night.

The team had a short 30 minutes on the ice on Wednesday, so hopefully they are fresh and ready for Washington tonight. They certainly looked fatigued in La Belle Province on Tuesday night.

Word is the Caps have some decent young players. Peter Bondra, Dale Hunter, Mikel Pivonka, Keith Jones, Jim Carrey, Jaromir Jagr...

Has anyone else noticed this?--

Alex Ovechkin. Ove- from the latin for "egg"
Alex Semin-- self explanatory.

Coincidence?

Together they give birth to a race of Goals.

Does that make "Backstrom" their preferred style?

I'm worried that they will have redecorated Philips while we were gone.

Ovie likes his Semin Backstrom style? Nice. Good one Morty!

I think the offseason was shorter than this road trip.

Morty-
Nice one. That one made me laugh out loud.

I drafted Alex Semin in another fantasy league this year but traded him for Chris Mason and Bill Guerin.

So, as ashamed as I am to admit it, I have to say that I have swapped Semin with another man for better goaltending.
