Glad you didn’t just bash Flash’s Face offs. I looked at the report directly after the game and while his 33% was indeed dismal he won 67% of his defensive zone draws which are quite important. Why, you ask? Because the face off with 6 seconds left David Steckel didn’t win in our zone resulted in a goal.

Though it does amaze me that Flash took 18 FOs more than any other caps player, but if you through out Patrice Begeron flash would be 4 for 7. Begeron was a beast all night winning 26 of 33 draws and recorded 1/1/2 for the night. Rough night for Caps centers, except Willy Old Lars.

It was a good win. Ovie got two assists so it’s not like he isn’t producing. I’d like to see him score more goals, but given the choice I’d rather he save the monster games for the playoffs.

I must have missed this somewhere, but can anyone tell me how Ovie got the nasty cut on his right cheek? Since he wears a visor, I can only assume someone got his stick up in his face.

@Sara Bae Thanks! I thought I made a pretty clever comparison.

“Nicky is deserving of fame far exceeding that which he is currently granted.” Amen to that. That dreamy blonde hair swede deserves so much more recognition then he gets! O and as far as Brooks Laich goes… hockey cages never looked so sexy.

HAHA! LOOOVEEE that comment “it makes me think of the cone a dog wears so it doesn’t chew its stitches”… Because I think Brooks Laich reminds me of George Washington, Now, he is just George Washington MINUS the powdered wig, but PLUS cage!

Brooksie, it’s oh so good to have him back in front of the net, doing what he does best. Looking good(wearing a cage or not), and scoring goals.
I’d say, Nicky needs to keep this up. Maybe he can keep getting points, and make a run at Ovie for points scoring before the season ends. 3 games left, anything can happen? I’m all for seeing it happen.
It killed me, literally, not being able to see Greenie out there tonight, but he has deserved the night off for some time now. And he’ll need his rest for tomorrow when he comes back and scores, and lands some awesome hits on Crosby.
I’ll be greedy with you, and say I’d like to see that 10-0 shutout for Holtby.

Favorite for the night from RussianMachine would have to be http://bit.ly/9PcPa3
Keep up the great work guys!

“A 10-0 shutout of the Penguins in Braden Holtby’s NHL debut would suffice.”

Greedy! I’d settle for 9-0 myself…and good stuff from the ladies on Laich’s cage. I heartily concur! He is both adorably adorable with it on and a million times better without it. Doesn’t stop him from going to the net, though, and that’s the most important part.

Nice recap
