Hey Sabres Capitals WOOOOO! Ehh, this game is good for all the Sabre fans in the DC area to check out the team. Otherwise its the Capitals and they barely qualify for a NHL team in most years. They are dead last in the league, of course only 3 points behind the Sabres. And the Sabres have beaten the Caps twice already this year. So only one more matchup after tonight. But hey at tonights game its FREE FLEECE BLANKET GIVEAWAY NIGHT!!!! The first 5000 fans get a free fleece blanket. So how many are they going to have left over?
Whats up with the Capitals?
Well the Capitals haven't been that bad of late going 6-3-1 in their last 10 and 4-1 in their last 5. After Glen Hanlon got the axe, the new coach has come and righted the ship. But they are still in last place, they are slowly getting better but still are filled with meager talent and some young superstars. As you can see I really don't care about the Caps, but if you would like to read more about them. They have quite the blog team, japers rink, off wing opinion, and on frozen blog. Every Caps fan may have a blog. There seems to be so many, yet so little attendance interesting.
Who does what for the Capitals
The team starts and stops with AO, Alex the Great, Alexander Ovechkin, I know some may call him Alexander Ocheapshot now, but I love him. I think he's great, has an attitude and is a very marketable player. Plus hes awesome, he has 37 points on the year with 22 goals. Including this one. Man, if he played on the Sabres, I'd buy a Ovechkin Jersey tomorrow. Michael Nylander is the main set up man with 18 assists on the year, but also an terrible -12 on the year. AO is a +9 on the year which shows you hes good in both ends as well. The Caps also have another emerging superstar in Nick Backstrom who has 19 points on the year, and who will only get better. If the Caps spend more money and develop more talent in 2 or 3 years they could be quite the squad. Or quite the squad to relocate somewhere else. We can't forget about the Ollie Kolzig the old guard on the Capitals. Kolzig is doing alright on the year, not great with a .897 sv % and a 2.84 GAA. But always seems to play the Sabres tough.
Outlook
The Sabres tend to own the Capitals of late, plus the Sabres are putting a ton of pucks to the net of late and last time they were going in. I see this continuing tonight. Plus with Hank back it will only lock down the back end, making the forwards more confident in taking chances. But who knows if the .500 Sabres will take the night off. So, well I don't know if I'm watching the game or not, so enjoy.
