Victory, thy name is Nicklas Backstrom! Hell Yes!! Final score 5-3.
I lost my wireless internet connection with about 5 minutes left in the game. I freaked. I tried to reconnect four times before throwing my hands up in defeat and making a mad dash for my friend's desk to plug in. Backstrom scored twice in 32 seconds to tie the game and put us up by one. With less than a minute left, Gordo hits an empty netter. 82 points, 9th place. Two points out of 7th, one point out of 8th. But also, one point out of our old stomping ground of #10. We really don't need to do that again, especially if the Caps want fans alive enough to cheer for them.
Oh, and did I mention, Ovie hit 60??? Yes!!!

I spent the first ten years of my life as a mild fan in Canada; then the next ten in a place that doesn't know what hockey is. Now I live a few hours from the Washington Capitals and have been following the team. This blog is a journal of my trip back in to the world of hockey--understanding post-lockout rules, general rules I was too young to understand when I did watch, and picking up where my early schooling left off.
