All I can say about the game against the Sens is that they came along on the Caps schedule at just the right time. The Caps were lucky to get the win, thanks to Neuvirth, after taking two periods off and finally waking up in the third. Sure, a win is a win, but they will have to play better, a LOT better, against the Flyers Tuesday night. Playing a lot better as in PLAYING A COMPLETE GAME! Guys, that means 60 minutes of effort, energy, and focus. I don’t want to hear any more about how the regular season doesn’t mean anything and only the postseason counts. That kind of thinking leads to developing habits of laziness and sloppiness, a certain recipe for an early exit from the playoffs.

Great article, as usual. What is missed, is the BIG fact, that Ottawa is our Santa during losing streaks.
Who ended the 8games losing streak on 19/12/2010?
So, Ottawa is officially a losingstreakbreaker from now on

@Ian, just the luck of the draw. My iPhone camera is glacially slow. Really, it’s Joe B’s fault for eating that whole lemon and taking a massive bong hit before going on air.

Darla, thank you for winning the pedantry award and taking it from a pedant like me.

D-corps, not D-corp. Just like Marine Corps: a body of people, not a corporation.

I like the emphasis on the fact that Brooks is NOT captain. I was hoping he would be named captain when Clark was traded. Brooks has serious leadership abilities, and I just don’t think Ovie does.

Nice to pull out the win, although I sat there for the 1st two periods shaking my head, saying “same old, same old.” I’d like to see a sense of urgency before the third next game.

I actually got teary when Carlson scored on the PP. It was such a sense of relief and hope, b/c when that penalty was called, I would have bet my life it would be another wasted PP opportunity. Way to be clutch, Carlson.
