“When even Wayne Gretzky can be blown away by the sight of Alex Ovechkin, wouldn't you think the hockey world ought to be paying SOME attention to what we Capitals fans (in the DC and surrounding areas, as well) already know???”

I guess the writing WAS on the wall on this

     The face of the Washington Capitals for as long as anyone has even followed the sport...was, is and always has been Olie Kolzig.

     That changed yesterday. And fans--not just Caps fans, but fans across the NHL--are sorry for that.

     Yes, it's true: Olie decided yesterday to walk away from the only franchise he's ever known. It's not a retirement, however; it's just that seeing how Christobal Huet carried the Caps into the playoffs, lit the light bulb over Olie's head that his time here in Washington was coming to an inglorious end.

It's been a hell of a ride, but alas, it's over

     Well, somebody has to write this post-mortem. And it's MY blog, ain't it??

     It's over.

     6 minutes into overtime, the remarkable season of the Washington Capitals came to a heart-wrenching end. The fact this game went into overtime, should tell you there was no quit from either team.

     The final score--3-2, Flyers--isn't the real story here. For 60 minutes plus, America (and parts of Canada) saw one hell of a game tonight. Hey, Alex did his part to get the Caps heading towards the win column...but it wasn't enough, apparently.

Just smell the fear, in Flyers fans, tonight

     I just took a look at the poll I have on this blog site. You know, the one that says "How will the Capitals season end??" Anyway, I noticed it was split two ways: either they win the Stanley Cup, or make it at least to the second round. That tells me this--only two people voted, and I might be one of those two.
