Hopefully this is a turning point back to an upward trajectory.   
ThomCat was really good tonight and congrats to Franky.

Sweet dreams peeps.

Every team has a lull in the season and maybe this snaps us out of it.  Not a game they deserved to win and they had to be gassed, but they just kinda hung in there and LT gave them the chance.  This could be a really good pivotal game for us.


I thought Fever and TVR played well. Sandin was great earlier in the year, but he makes me nervous now when he carries the puck.


I liked Mangiopani the last few games and he has played with energy and isn't afraid to go in front of the net and it paid off tonight. Well done.

Always say, ya gotta do something to get noticed, even if you're not on the scoresheet. Frank's production will slow down, but that speed can't be denied! Outrunning icings is a nice asset to keep yourself visible!

I'm going to carry that theme a little further, Mick.


Actually, a lot further.  I saw a short time ago that the Caps had played more back-to-backs than any other team in the league, and of course, they finished another one last night.  BUT now, the Caps have only one more back-to-back between now and the end of March.  Their schedule in April is a little challenging, but until then schedule compression shouldn't be an issue.  This is important for a guy like Ovechkin, whose minutes Carbery is controlling more than at any previous point in his career.  Hopefully, between his 16-game hiatus and managed TOI from here on out, he will be relatively fresh when the playoffs roll around.

Winner Winner, chicken dinner.

Thompson looked good.  Nice goal for Frank. PPG for Willie, working goal for Mangi.  All good results from less than stellar game.
