Washington capitals were do With this very long road trip, carefully aboveLaunching their last match with the Ottawa senators as if they were offended, he was planned first of all.
A million things happened in the first period, but no merit of being mentioned here. Finally, in the second period, Ridly Greig, whose two names that I badly spelled during my first try, marked a power game objective after a nice roller movement. Connor McMichael answered with a goal from the special teams, a short -term shot that I will not describe further; Look:
Josh Norris scored on a penalty shot that should not have occurred. The caps crashed at that time, at the end of the second, and therefore allowed Shane Pinto to score a goal in digital disadvantage.
Dylan Strome quickly converted a power game into the third, then Alex Ovechkin scored 876, then Dylan Strome rushed to attach him. No one saw him coming.
Except me. Good enough for a point, but the caps were beaten in overtime by Thomas Chabot.
The traffic jams lose.
- Capitals committed their ninth penalty of men too, then immediately, they committed their tenth too men’s tenth. There is just a fundamental and irreconcilable disagreement between Washington and the League on the number of men should be on the ice. They think it should be more.
- Connor McMichael had not scored a goal since January 4. His marker tonight was sick. I hope he will come back in good shape.
- Alex Ovechkin had almost done a week without scoring a goal. It occurred before this season, although he then had a broken leg. This could not be respected. He has 876. Nineteen from. His contributions here have been impeccably timed, in particular by making the goal of Strome occur.
- I hate when they make me do this. Here is rule 56.6, I emphasize:
Penalty pincipe – when a player In control of the washer In the neutral or attack zone and having no other opponent to pass that the goalkeeper is interfered by a stick or part of it (…
- Now here Josh Norris on the development. He had not yet touched the washer, and even less controlling it.
- This bad call is not the reason why the capital has lost this match. Capitals play badly, that’s why they lost this game, but even if I complain about the second thing, I will also complain about the first thing. It’s muscle memory.
- I am not sure that the second penalty was legitimate either. Sorry, Protas aliaksei.
- The power game. Friends, we have to talk about the power game. It sucks! The senators had a better chance of the power game than the caps; During the second period, the caps only had 34.8% of the goals expected when they had more players on the ice than the other team – legally. Caps could simply not cross the blue line with control. I saw Dylan Strome drop go to the blue line to a guy from the other jersey.
- Drake Batherson (excellent hockey name at the end of the era) obtained a Brady Tkachuk The goal was washed for the interference of the goalkeeper. This is one of the few situations where everyone sees the game and says: “Oh yes, it is an interference as a goalkeeper.” Except Ian. Ask Ian on this subject. He’s out of his rocker, but it’s entertaining.
- Two goals for Dylan StromeThree in his last two games. He is back.

It was an implacable week, full of losses. Last night’s plane crash killed many people, some of whom in our community. Wes is still in the hospital (but better!). Shawn Simpson, skipjack legend, died after a long mental struggle of mental health detailed by his friend Brent Wallace. And right now, there are people in our world who lose their jobs and lose their homes. Some are afraid of being themselves right now.
Shit sucks.
Hockey is only a thin balm, and even a team of terribly good caps sometimes lets us fall. But, guy, we could all have used a W This evening. Instead, an exciting return to win a losing point is all we get. Still: bless these stupid and terrible players of hockey, who were not completely defeated in spite of themselves, and who are together the best team on the planet, exactly as no one expected.
Thank you for the respite, even if it’s just a bit. We deserve it, and now they too. For the first time since January 20, the caps will sleep at home this evening. (Or early tomorrow morning.) They will rest and come together, and we too. Do not leave the bastards – You know the rest.
