Caps Fall Another Game Below .500

But don't worry, they moved Up in the standings!!! Hockey!!!

The Caps took a tough loss to the Hurricanes in Overtime on Tuesday night.  As the Caps do, they made a comeback in the final 3 minutes to force the OT and pick up the pity point to move a little bit higher in the standings.

The Caps probably would have won had it not been for turnovers and nobody being back on defense.  That play where Widman pulled an Adam Dunn and swung and missed on a puck instead of getting his body on it or just backing up was just terrible.

Why do the teams we play convert on breakaways and odd man rushes, and we don't?

Next up is another huge game against the Lightning on Thursday.  The Lightning who had the Caps number last playoffs.

I'm having a great time watching these games, watching the standings, and watching a team that has a chance to make the playoffs.  Maybe that is a benefit of picking up the Caps this season, because I feel like nobody else has their eyes open.  People can't watch.  Deep breath...1 point...
