He did it! He's passed the great Mike Modano! :snicker: Im sorry, it's a great accomplishment. I've just never heard of Mike Modano? :huh:

1 to 1 after two

Now that the NHL let Kane get his point they could give the Caps a power play.
-
How could someone your age not at least remember the name..

-
He was playing for a couple years into the OV era
-

if you’ve got to go to the super slow motion to verify a call, the call on the ice should stand

Caps win 4-3

They've done it!! 1 in a row!! :)
Saturday at 5 then..
-
5pm is a stupid start time
-
Wow. I mean clown finish and then Dowd for the 1st shootout win of the season.
I almost threw the remote when I saw him come out for the shootout
Talk about going with a hunch.
Hey we will take it.
Lindy did t look good there. Stevenson might get a game
-
Yea, happy for Carbery he didn't have to explain that decision.. lol
-
just watched the post game with Carbs...
Goalie coach been working with shootout guys - he was screaming in Carbs earpiece to put Dowd in Shootout lineup - he been working on a move.
-
I heard that too. Bummer it took till Feb to figure out they still had Matt Hendricks on the roster! :snicker: I figured it was just one of his gut feelings that never work out.
I'd still like to know what he was thinking with Carlson, Ovi and Beauvi on the ice for the last shift of OT.. That was one stray shot away from instant 3 on 1 death. lol
-
so looking back at this game...the Caps actually came out on the winning side of not 1 goal review, but 2. Wings score 6 on 5 then score another 6 on 5 on the oddest (and unfair) bounce off the camera hole cover ever to force OT. The Caps survive OT and then all 3 Caps shooters score in the shootout? Was there a blue moon? Did anyone see a Leprechaun riding a unicorn?
