As long as both teams are in town it should be fine, it’s cold but it’s dry.

Pretty solid through 40. Still haven't seen a replay of Charlie's short handed save. Thought for sure that was goin in. Too bad the PP sucks all night.

looks like Carlson will miss the rest of the game, that looked like it hurt

Holy shit that didn't look good at all. Carlson took that straight in the side of the face. Instant blood. Glad he got up and skated to the room on his own. Joe said it was a 90+ MPH slapper.  :-(

I really wish this particular goal hadn't been an empty-netter.  I'd like to see him reach milestones with goals in straight-up play.  But now it would seem that there are only two goals left to reach - if he could somehow get to 50 goals this season it would be his 10th, breaking the all time record.  And then there is 894.

I agree.  #802 shouldn't have been an empty netter, IMO.  Call me a purist.  In fact, I'd be happy if he didn't have any empty netters from here on out.  Gretzky had 56 empty net goals and Ovie has 54 now.  We don't need people carping about the record because he has 60-65 empty net goals.  That aside, the Caps are rolling and it's nice to really anticipate games again.  Now, they need to win the division games.

Wayne, this is such a tough call.  If Kuzy had taken the goal when Ovie fed it to him that would have been fine.  Problem is, if Ovie dithers with the puck or just shoots it away not to score, and Winnipeg takes it down the ice and scores, then there's a tight game in the waning seconds that shouldn't be.  So what is Ovie supposed to do?


I'm not really a fan of trying to pull the goalie early when a team is multiple goals behind.  Play it straight, try to get within one goal, THEN pull the goalie.  This seems like a more and more common occurrence lately, which leads to more ENG.  Ovie's had 6 of them in the last few weeks - probably an aberration, but you're right, it doesn't look good.
