Caps have won two in a row. Last night the Caps had a fun party at their new practice ice, Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Ballston Common Mall. You could skate (for free!) or just hang out with Brian Sutherby and John Erskine. I showed them my sewn up finger and told them, "Birds of a feather!" as they both are out because of hand ailments too.
There was a huge screen projection television set up on the ice to watch the game. I hope the Caps do this again next season for lots of big games. This one was against the Thrashers, which is always a good game. Sorry Uncle Bob (my hockey camp coach and coach of ATL) but we were the better team this time! Maybe you should have let Ilya play more! And my man Boyd Gordon whom I have been raving about all year (and happy others are finally jumping on the BG bandwagon) scored a sweet goal and fed Ovie on one of his. Of course Boyd's face off wins (6 for 9) were pretty good too. The best part was when Uncle Bob pulled Lehtonen and Atlanta already had a 5 on 3 so this made it 6 on 3, and Johnny and the penalty killers held tight for the big win.
Next up....BUFFALO! And this Caps fan would be appreciative on fan appreciation day if the Caps could make it 3 in a row.
This is Connor R., still on the DL, signing off since it is a school night and the Nats already lost, the Wizards don't play and there is nothing much to report about the Skins... This has been MY view in sports from DC Sports Kid
