I think Theo has earned more respect than that over the last few weeks.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and a b.s. call on Ovi's big hit -- even the Boston announcers called it an outstanding hip check.<BR/><BR/>Chara is good but overrated. He did play very well last night, in contrast to the last Caps/Bruins game where Ovi physically dominated the big man.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070275323111075325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14971098.post-84899854608060714482009-01-18T11:02:00.000-05:002009-01-18T11:02:00.000-05:00A fine job indeed.

That was FUN - and my guess, Murshawursha, is that a lot of people did indeed stay home due to the inauguration crap downtown (and my holy $DEITY, there was a lot of it). But, if the place is that loud in the middle of the season with that many empty seats, Karl Alzner had better bring earplugs come playoff time. Holy smokes but we made a lot of noise. :) <BR/><BR/>Still, though. I gotta say it because it bears repeating. That's one game, and a very fine one, and two points. But it's in the books, and now we need to look ahead to Monday and the Islanders. We tend to slack against lower-rung teams, and we need to not do that. For the rest of the season, it's bear hunting season in DC, and when you're bear hunting, you've got to keep the gun loaded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14971098.post-25114775652731580642009-01-18T09:36:00.000-05:002009-01-18T09:36:00.000-05:00Brilliant, Peerless, thanks.

Fedorov had some excellent shifts, fended off the pesky Bitz all night, and lurked around the net quite a bit, but the boys were shooting from the points and didn't notice that he was open. Otherwise, he'd have had a goal as well. The empty seats were mostly in pairs in the lower bowl, but there were hardly B sweaters. I'm proud to say that my group all turned out in their red along with the rest of the faithful, and were well-rewarded with a great effort and solid win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14971098.post-75991166044571573332009-01-18T04:56:00.000-05:002009-01-18T04:56:00.000-05:00If tonight was a sellout, then it was the emptiest...If tonight was a sellout, then it was the emptiest sellout I've ever seen.
