You know, going into the Habs vs Caps game last night, I was a little indifferent (Nearly six years in the Okanagan has officially turned me into a Canucks fan.) but DAMN that was worth watching. First two minutes of the game and its tied 1-1? That's nuts! :D
Ovechkin spent most of the game just flat out shut down, which in and of itself was fun to watch even if I have a small he-looks-like-a-Russian-thug crush on him. And ninth straight win for the Caps. Impressive.
The Habs, despite losing, played a decent game. They lost control of the puck more often than they should have in the third, probably due to fatigue, but Carey Price played really well. That boy can read a puck. Yes, he let in four goals, but the Caps had 41 shots on goal. Some of which just shouldn't have happened. There were a few bad turnovers *cough*TravisMoen*cough* and really, the Habs are going to need to get it together a little better if they're going to make it past the first round. I know they've been hit hard by injury, but so has everyone else. I really hope they make it.
I would talk about Carl Johansson, but really, what is there to say? He's awesome and the league is already cooing over him, so I won't bother. Instead, let us discuss John Carlson. The kid is going to be a monster. He's going to be dangerous as a defencemen. You can already see it. Chirst, I'd love to see him play for the Canucks... but that's just me. He plays fairly aggressive off the blue line and he moves well. A few years and he'll be a high priced defencemen, I'm sure.
I just realized something looking at the Caps roster, 17 out of 27 players are Canadian. Holy crap, we're invading Washington. XD
I'd also like to point out that the ads on NHL.com are starting to piss me off. It's annoying as all hell to try to watch a 15 second clips and get 45 seconds of commercials first.
11 more games until the playoffs. WOOT!
