It’s kind of amazing (and typical) that in a game that the Capitals had to win, they were dominated by a team with a lot less talent than they have - a team that they basically owned and abused the last two games. It’s also amazing that the man who finally got the job done is almost as old as me. Thank you Сергей!!! But the most amazing thing is that the Caps then kept the puck in the offensive zone for almost five minutes after the goal. The Rangers couldn’t even pull their goalie for an extra attacker. Good teams find a way to win games when they aren’t playing very well. Oh, to have been there...
I know Ovie was excited, but you really shouldn’t tackle a guy on your own team - especially when he is so old.
Since the Devils choked and let in two goals 30 seconds apart late in a game they were winning, we get the Penguin Scum starting on Saturday. Bring it on, punks.

So it figures that after freezing our asses off for two weeks, today was about 80 degrees and sunny in Sapporo as we were going to the airport. We are checked into our hotel in Fukuoka now and start working in the morning.
There is a Consadole Sapporo game tonight and I was disappointed that I would miss it, But (how about that) they are coming here on Saturday night to play Avispa Fukuoka! I guess I’ll have to get some Avispa kit and cheer for them. I hope to get out there. Avispa is Spanish for wasp, and they are called that because of the nasty sparrow-sized yellow jackets that they have here. I saw one outside of the hotel, and they are big (and supposedly very aggressive). I think I’ll try to avoid them.
LET’S GO CAPS!!!!
