Well, THAT was convincing. The Capitals beat the Avalanche 6-1 last night in Denver in a fantastic game, marred only by Mike Green being hit from behind by David Koci and having to leave the game at the end of the second period. Hopefully Green will be ok and Koci will get a suspension for one of the dirtier boarding hits from behind that I've seen.
I love this story from the Denver Post. Awesome writing and very complimentary to the Caps. (How could it not be.) My favorite excerpt from the story:
"Washington came to the Pepsi Center — its first visit since Oct. 25, 2006 — and cut through the Avs with the swiftness and precision of one of Alexander Ovechkin's skates through the Pepsi Center ice, departing with a 6-1 win over Colorado.
"If this was one of those 'measuring stick' games, then the Avs are still Danny DeVito in comparison to Washington's stature."
"If this was one of those 'measuring stick' games, then the Avs are still Danny DeVito in comparison to Washington's stature."
Amazing.
Another highlight of the game was Jose Theodore's play. He allowed only one goal and had 26 saves on 27 shots in his old arena against his old team. Way to go Jose! Some of the saves he made were quite spectacular and I was a little sad he didn't get the shutout he deserved.
Looks like the boys can play at high altitudes. A couple more West Coast games coming up this weekend. I'll be in the Pacific Time Zone for at least one of them because my nephew Reuben Isaiah Harper was born last night and we're going to Oregon to meet him. Thanks Caps for winning on Reuben's birthday. His parents aren't hockey fans, but I think he could use a little Capitals onsie... Don't you?
