Caps Drop Final Regular-Season Game, 5-2

1 week ago | bvmsports.com | Luke Adomanis

Skip to content Photo courtesy of the Washington Capitals Did Alex Ovechkin score? Yes. Plus: Even though he let in five goals, Clay Stevenson was great. He came up with a lot of big saves and the goals scored against him were goals not many, if any, goalies were going to stop. Minus: There was a lot not to like about the Caps game, but the Caps were playing shorthanded, hurt and had nothing to play for besides not trying to get hurt.

Skip to content Did Alex Ovechkin score? Yes. He scored goal #890. Plus: Both Jakob Chychrun and Aliaksei Protas joined some new clubs. Chychrun scored his 20th of the season and Protas scored his 30th of the season. Both new highs for the both. Minus: Caps took too many stupid penalties in which Sabres scored on two of them on. It's fine now that they are top of the league but these are penalties that can't happen in the playoffs.
Capitals-Sabres: How the Game Was Lost

3 weeks ago | japersrink.com | Luke Adomanis

There’s something about the Buffalo Sabres facing the Capitals that turns them into the best team in the league (or at least a much tougher team to play than they have any right to be). In the last 10 games against the Caps, the Sabres, consistently one of the worst teams in the NHL every season, averages 4.2 goals a game, and that trend continued as they put up an eight spot on the Caps in yesterday afternoon’s game. The game was essentially lost on two plays that looked almost identical.

Capitals-Red Wings: How the Game Was Won

1 month ago | japersrink.com | Luke Adomanis

The Red Wings must have nightmares about playing the Caps in the third period. Just less than two weeks ago, they took a 2-1 lead into the third only to see the Caps go on a four goal tear to win the game. Last night, with the game tied, the Caps again used a big final frame to win, this time adding three goals in the third period. But while the goals were great (and obviously necessary), this win doesn’t happen without a huge save that Logan Thompson made just thirty seconds into the third period.
Caps Drown Detroit in Third for 4-1 Win

Skip to content Photo courtesy of Washington Capitals Did Alex Ovechkin score? No. Plus: The Red Wings have one of the best power plays in the NHL and the Caps did not give them a chance to use it, as they refrained from taking even a single penalty the whole game. The Caps are a strong five-on-five team, so keeping the game at even strength will always give them the advantage over most teams and that worked tonight.

The Caps really should have taken control of the game off the bat and never let it go.
Capitals-Kraken: How the Game Was Won

Sunday’s afternoon game against Kraken wasn’t looking like the Capitals best. The Kraken are a mediocre team who were playing quite tired. The Caps really should have taken control of the game off the bat and never let it go. But through forty minutes it was a real back and forth with consistency issues with the Caps. In the third period, however, the Capitals finally showed up to play and with a little more than four minutes left in the game they finally broke the 2-2 tie.

Did Alex Ovechkin score? Yes. Plus: The game could have gotten out of control if the Caps penalty killers didn’t show up. The Caps only got one power play while the Kraken had four chances. The Caps penalty killer killed off all four. Minus: The Kraken are a mediocre team that are playing very tired. The Caps should have owned the game from the beginning but they really didn’t until the third period. This is probably a case of playing down like the Caps tend to do.
