Saturday’s victory for the Capitals featured an amazing save by rookie goalie sensation Simeon Varlamov. This thing will be on highlight reels for a decade.
Tonight is Game 2. I hear Sidney’s been practicing into open nets all weekend, and likely having nightmares about Varlamov.
I’m off to Verizon Center shortly. GO CAPS!
Round 2!
The Caps have advanced to the second round, and are facing their most hated rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The media and drama will be insane around this series. The ultimate battle between Crosby/Malkin v. Ovechkin/Semin. Varlamov and the Capitals defensive corps was aces against the Rangers, but can they hold up to the offensive threats of Pittsburgh? Pittsburgh eliminated Philadelphia, but can their squad stop the Capitals’ offensive juggernaut?
Penguins want redemption in the finals, but they have to get there first. Capitals haven’t advanced past the first round in 11 years, but they don’t want to go home yet, either.
Puck drops at one o’clock. Well, one o’clock plus whatever fluff NBC adds. So probably 1:20.
Off to the game!
Off to Bugsy’s in Old Town Alexandria, where I watched the Game 3 victory. Trying to keep the good away game mojo. Watched Game 4 elsewhere and while the company was good, the game ended badly. So, taking the good company with me!
Again, I won’t be liveblogging. That worked well for Game 5 so why screw with a good thing?
Go CAPS!
