Holy $#%$#% $#%$#%. Didn’t see that coming half way through the 3rd at 2-0.
Possible trade: JaVale McGee for Alex Semin. Who says no?

Everyone loses!
Hats out on the Verizon Center ice for Dennis Wideman who notches the hat trick tonight with 1:19 left in the game, putting the Caps ahead 4-2 on the PP.
After the Lightning scored the go-ahead goal, the Caps still had 16 minutes to push back. Instead, they were the ones pushed on as the Lightning were clearly the more aggressive club. Tampa Bay took the next five shots on goal while every Washington foray was smothered by the Lightning defense. And when the Caps went on the only power play handed out for the balance of the game, the best scoring chance was by the Lightning. Washington looked like a defeated team, not the one that finished first in the Eastern Conference with high hopes high of not merely a deep playoff run, but the Stanley Cup they felt they should have won last year.
The machine is broken. Changes are needed.
This is pretty.
