Caps hang on to beat the Thrashers last night for their 6th win in a row. They are second in the East only behind the Penguins. For the second game in a row, Ovie netted 2 goals. The team is playing pretty well but still not hit their stride.
The PP attack is not nearly as effective as they were last season so that needs to improve. Also, last night was the second straight game we got called for a penalty shot. Fortunately, we stopped both but our defense needs to shore up. Thankfully, we have gotten good goalie play but if we expect to win the Cup those areas are going to need to be addressed. I imagine we might McPhee might try and pull the trigger on an experienced defenseman later in the season as the trade deadline approaches.
Still, this is a very good team that is starting to build confidence.
Islanders tonight. Good teams put away teams like the Islanders so we better win.
ROCK THE RED!

I love the way they start games, but it seems like every game they struggle in the third period. They seem to give up way too many shots in the third. Varly was good and made some big saves to win the game in the third.
I hope the 2 late goals don't bug him too much.
