One of their better games and our forwards were really hustling back on defense. I thought Boyd and Dowd played really well tonight. Not so much for Kempney - he's having a tough year.
The game tonight looked like playoff energy!

Woo-Hoo!!!! Islanders just lost in OT to the Oilers. They got a single point. Oilers were down 3-2 and tied the game with less than 3 min left.

We're still in the run for the play-offs. Shocking, considering how badly we've payd ths far. But we're still in it. :wackysmile:

I have to admit, as one of the more negative people on the boards always cursing up a storm about how much the Caps suck, I don't have much to complain about this game. Some stupid penalties, sure. And maybe they let the Leafs get too close for comfort by giving up the garbage time goal. But overall a solid performance, and Holtby really stood on his head.
This was much different from our Kings win, where all I could think of was 1) no shit we're supposed to be able to beat a bottom feeder team; 2) we didn't beat them convincingly enough considering they're a bottom feeder team; and 3) Caps still suck despite the win.
This Leafs game was actually a pretty solid showing. I felt like I saw more effort and conviction than usual, better passing, less retarded plays, outstanding goaltending, and the PP clicking again thanks to Ovi is a good sign. And this was definitely not a pushover team. Limiting a potent Leafs team to only 2 goals is pretty damn good work, unlike our "effort" in allowing the very shitty Ducks to score as many goals against us as they had in their previous 6 games...
We've earned ourselves a little bit of breathing room. If the team that showed up today plays the rest of the season, then we can actually make the playoffs. The the team that showed up against ANA plays the rest of the season, then we all might as well pack our bags and hit the golf course now.
