[AP Recap - GameCenter - Game Summary - Event Summary]
As the Olympic rust continues to shake off and the new additions to the team continue to find their place in the lineup, the Capitals have managed to put together a modest winning streak of three games, all by different means. There was the total team effort against an Olympic hero. There was the squeaker of a win filled with defensive miscues and offensive prowess from unlikely sources.
Tonight it was a performance by the man who wears #60 between the pipes that carried the team, with a pair of Erics - one familiar, one new - stepping up to provide the offense. It wasn't the riveting, end-to-end hockey we've become accustomed to and there were mistakes and stumbles along the way, but it was a solid effort and a big two points.
Ten more notes on the game:
- Jose Theodore was absolutely tremendous tonight, looking calm, well-positioned and square to the puck all game long. Rebounds were controlled, scrambles nullified, and many saves made that could easily be categorized as being of the "how-the-[Franceschetti]-did-that-not-go-in??" type. A huge shutout for Theo, his first of the season, third as a Cap and 29th of his career.
- One of the jaw-dropping saves Theodore was forced to make came because of a horrific play by Shaone Morrisonn where he just lobbed the puck into the slot - and right onto the stick of an incoming Ranger. It was either a product of some miscommunication between Morrisonn and John Carlson or simply one of the most boneheaded plays ever. Either way, good job by Theo to bail out his D.
- The Caps did a pretty good job of shutting down Marian Gaborik and Olli Jokinen; each registered three shots on goal but neither seemed to be a big factor tonight. The same can't be said for guys like Ryan Callahan and Brandon Dubinsky, who combined for 11 shots on goal and created many of the goalmouth scrambles.
- Shutting down the top line was apparently a theme tonight, with the Caps' big guns being similarly silenced by the Rangers' D. Ovechkin and Backstrom continue to look a step off as they readjust from the Olympics, and while Ovie peppered Alex Auld with his usual 7 shots, most of them landed squarely in the New York goalie's chest.
- A bright spot for the top line - Mike Knuble, who continues his stretch of strong play alongside his young linemates. He didn't really show up on the scoresheet but he was solid defensively and even blocked a couple of shots.
- Hard to believe that the Caps actually held the power play advantage in a game officiated by both Bill McCreary and Chris Rooney, isn't it? We'll pretend it's merely because they were so disciplined, taking just two penalties to the Rangers' four and killing both of them off beautifully.
- The fourth line of Scott Walker, David Steckel and Matt Bradley had a nice night, including a dominant shift to close out the second period that included some good scoring chances. Of course, had Henrik Lundqvist been in net instead of Auld you know Bradley would have buried one of them. C'est la vie.
- Speaking of Auld, give the guy credit for a very solid performance in which he allowed just 2 goals, neither of them softies. His first game as a Ranger came two days after his counterpart was peppered with 55 shots - and as a result, he was being thrown in to face the most offensively explosive team in the League. Not an easy task, but he held his own.
- Joe Corvo's first game as a Cap started out a bit rocky but finished strong; tonight was solid all the way through, with his second straight 20+ minute performance and his first assist as a Cap to boot.
- Continuing the trend of the new guys getting on the board, Eric Belanger cashed in on a beautiful pass from Brooks Laich - after an equally nice play to hold the line by Alexander Semin - and picked up his first goal as a Cap. To that point he'd seemed to be having the hardest time adjusting to his new linemates, but that play was a promising sign of things to come. Next step: stop getting thrown out of the faceoff circle.
So Theodore continues to stake his claim on the #1 spot and the newest Caps continue to ease their way into the lineup. There will be more and more nights like this down the stretch - teams battling for playoff spots, battling for playoff positioning, all putting up their best effort against the best team in the League. There will be more close games, more nights where team defense and goaltending will be just as important - if not more so - as the dynamic offense possessed by this team.
Tonight was a playoff-type game, in style if not in intensity, and the Caps rose to the challenge. With 17 games left until the postseason, that's a great sign.

A perfect game for you to recap!

I feel like the recap should have just been a piece of paper with Jose written on it, with a heart around it. That was basically my feeling.

Or, just maybe, what we do doesn’t have any effect on what transpires on the ice.
Just a thought.
Theo was money. Rags played to tie, so not a lot of flow.
Good win of the pedestrian variety.

What?? So why have I been doing my little “please score a goal Ovie” dance in between each period? Damn. ;)
But seriously, I agree – what we talk about has nothing to do with the product on the ice. However I also agree that we don’t need to talk about Ovechkin’s goal drought incessantly, which is why it wasn’t a bullet point on its own. There are many things I’m concerned about as we head into the last 17 games, but whether or not Ovie will score again is certainly not one of them…it’ll happen when it happens.
And hey, until then we’ve got Scott Walker!
what we talk about has nothing to do with the product on the ice.
Well, to a certain extent, you could obviously argue against this. Obviously superstition-type things aren’t really true—or are they???—but if the media and fanbase are all talking about something, it can definitely be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Or it can serve as motivation. Or it can be completely irrelevant.

Gotta do the dance while pantsless for it to work. Everyone knows that.
He had a couple chances that were really close to going in. He’s close.

Ovi started looking a little more like himself in the third. Started getting a bit more on his shots. Now if he could place them somewhere other than the goaltenders chest…..
Because now I can justify browsing and commenting during the work day with the argument that I am promoting my business.
Congratulations Jose! $1.50 from me for your foundation!

Brian McNally noted Belanger’s hard hat credentials:
Belanger earned the hard hat for his performance – a goal on two shots with two blocked shots at the defensive end. He also won five of nine faceoff attempts after struggling in that category on Thursday vs. Tampa Bay.

Steak or lobster, Theo? What’ll it be?

No problem! And oh boy does that lobster look mighty good. One of the perks of going to college in Maine was 4 years with plenty of opportunity to score lobster for much cheaper than here. I once pulled off 2.5 free lobsters in one day, what a great day that was.
Hopefully Jose enjoys it! He certainly deserves it after tonight.

He’s Québécois. My francophone friends from Quebec have made it pretty clear that Québécois(m) or Québécoise(f) is the proper adjective they would use to describe themselves, and they would NOT appreciate me using “French Canadian” to describe them.
A buddy that used to be in my WoW guild was Quebecois. We chat hockey every now and then – he admitted the Hal Gill-as-airplane hit was briliant, and it should have been a goal. Then again, the Caps are his team after the Habs, so.

I have a thought on the lack of a nickname for Belanger. When I was a chap the Orioles had a shortstop named Mark Belanger, his nickname was the blade… How about le raisor?
have any of you people even seen a chicken?
by Ridley me this on Mar 6, 2010 11:32 PM EST reply actions 1 recs
Me too! I feel that Belanger’s nickname should be based on blade since he’s a fairly skinny guy as well.
(I assume Mark’s ancestry was French somewhere along the line.)
BTW, someone on Facebook with the last name of Belanger mentioned on the Caps page that he’s a cousin of Erik B.

With a .950 save% and a 12-0-2 record in the last 14, Theo certainly seems to be making a case to be the #1 keeper once the playoffs start.

Did anyone else think Backstrom had a rough night – seemed like he kept turning the puck over or passing to Rangers. Uncharacteristic of him.
More SOG than I’d like, but Jose was plain awesome all night.
Would someone please explain to me just how in the hell that trip on Green in the first does not get called? If I didn’t know better, I’d swear they cut the Rags a break in that 5v3, but of course the officials don’t do that, right?
No Alex, no ratings. Know Alex, know ratings.
I did, and mentioned as much in the recap – I think a lot of people overlooked an equally rough game on Thursday because of his heroics on the PK but he seems to be easing his way back in after the Olympics, too. But like Ovie, I’m not worried.
And re: that trip…was I the only one who thought it looked like a dive? I was relieved that didn’t get called, if you watch the replay the guy’s stick barely grazes Greenie and he goes down like he was shot. I guess he was trying to make up for that diving penalty last game when he probably didn’t dive….
Live I thought it looked like a blatant trip, on the reply Green went down a LOT easier than he should have. He’s a good enough skater that a one handed tap on the shins shouldn’t send him flying and tumbling.

Observations from Section 421
Very much a playoff style game, but it was a nice nice win. Theo was terrific, was challenged only a couple of times and he answered every challenge. Another 2 points in the bank. Some more points:
- I watched Gaborik in the warm-up. Yes he played, but in the warm-up you could tell he was hurting. He did not have a good game, and he is definitely feeling the stiffness in teh groin.
- I have no idea what ShaMo was thinking when he send that puck right in front of the slot to Dubinsky. I checked to see if McCreary was nearby, but he was at the other end of the ice. Thankfully Rick Nash was in San Jose at the time.
- The reason the Rangers played Auld tonight is because they play Buffalo tomorrow night, and the knew that Bradley was playing tonight.
- Walker didn’t get a goal tonight… His goals-per-game average dropped dramatically to this scoring drought.
- While I’m not panicking yet that Ovechkin hasn’t scored a goal since the hat-trick against the Pens just before the Olympics, it would make me feel better if he’d bury one…or seven.
Still, a nice win, a good defensive effort, other than that bonehead play by ShaMo… definitely a good look at playing playoff style hockey.
Let's go Caps!
Nah. Like Bruce said, Ovi goes through these little funks, and when he breaks out, every goalie in the League trembles in fear.
No Alex, no ratings. Know Alex, know ratings.
They tremble in fear when he’s in the funk as he can break out any moment.
Tonight on one shot he blasted it right into Auld. Maybe he’s thinking he can shoot it hard enough to get the puck into the net through the goalie…

Well, if he goes into the playoffs on one of his torrid streaks, the first round could be very short.

Wins are great, no question. And the Caps are supposed to be getting ready for the different kind of hockey in the playoffs, I get that. But man, the last three games have been borrrrring. Guess we’ve been spoiled this year. I kinda miss the 6-5 games.

This is the kind of game that you play in the playoffs. Occasionally there are 8-1 games in the playoffs, but most are of the 2-1 variety…

The fact they’ve been able to manage the Cashews at 3-1 and the rags at 2-0 give me hope. The Tampa game, however…

To be honest, these “boring” games are more reassuring for me, because it shows if the Caps D/goaltending is for real or not. If both of these can chalk up good performances every night, I couldn’t care less what the score would be.

The Caps can beat the defensive minded teams in their conference (i.e. Rangers and Sabres) but have trouble beating the ones outside of their conference, like the LA Kings.
Rocking the Red since 1975
Pretty much. You want to see consistency. We all know how the offense can run – if the D and goalies perform well against better offensive teams like Pitt and LA, that’s a lot better than the same result against the Cashews and the Rags.

I’m not concerned about that loss to the Kings; I thought they played really well against LA, the best of that three-game losing streak for sure. It wasn’t as if they got blown out by the Kings, you know?
IMO the difference in that Kings game was Nicky going out with the migraine. Oh, and that wretched shorty.
Now helping to keep an eye on all things Gr8 at Alex Ovetjkin.
That was a while ago, but wasn’t he the best player on the ice? I remember also thinking that if he’d still been in the game, Caps would have won.
"The Caps fan doesn't say, 'is the glass half full' or 'is the glass half empty'. He wonders when the glass is going to spill."
Of course, it’s really hard to judge how teams match up when they only play each other 1-2 times a year. Like the Kings. We lost to them twice last year. (But I’m sure if they Caps played them more times a year, they’d figure out a way to beat them.)
The Caps had had a long losing streak to the Sharks but finally beat them at VC. Still couldn’t beat them in San Jose.
Rocking the Red since 1975
Caps have played very poorly on both their West Coast swings this year; I’ve no idea why. But I think it would be a good idea to win that President’s Trophy, y’know, just in case.

Heh! Um…let’s chalk that up to a rough night. We had some moronic Rangers fans in our section, by the end I was convinced they were creating a black hole of stupidity around them…fixed if you refresh, thanks for the catch!
We had one Ranger fan in our section who kept rubbing it in that we have no Cup yet.

My husband yelled back at him and said that if the Caps were around as long as the Rangers, they’d have one. He also pointed out the 70 years since the last Rangers cup.

To be fair, Callahan always seems to have a good game against the Caps.
Regardless, sounds like it was a good win.
And greetings from L.A. Might be going to a Kings game here, if so I’ll be sure to post a Fanpost about it or something.

If we get the Rags in the playoffs again, I still want to see everyone tie a water bottle to a fishing pole and bring that to Game 1. The effect would be memorable.

Yes, that was truly beautiful, but we have to do something a little different.

The only thing that would have made it more of a playoff-like game is the crowd being more into it – 18,277 very sleepy people in the house tonight. But yes, playoff-like in the way it was executed for sure.
Yes, sounds like the guys are thinking playoffs and just tuning up for the playoffs. Which is fine by me.
No Alex, no ratings. Know Alex, know ratings.
Agreed, this can only help them. Of the 17 remaining games we have left, 11 of them are against teams that are in the playoffs or within 1 point of a spot, based on the standings today.
Of the remaining 6 one is against Dallas who is 4 points out. One is against Florida who is also 4 points out (but has no shot IMO), and one is against Columbus (also no shot).
Then the remaining 3 of those 6 are against the Canes, who always play us tough.
With all these games against teams either in the playoffs, or fighting for their playoff lives, we should be plenty tested going into round 1.

It certainly seems that the fans are for the most part going “i can has plaiofs nao?” This little thing about the usefulness of home ice advantage and wanting to go for the President’s Trophy hasn’t quite caught up yet.

I want that home field advantage, especially useful for the playoffs. It’s easier for the boys to feed off the friendly energy of our red-clad home crowd than the hostile crowds elsewhere.

“Field” is a generic team. Okay, if you want to be picky, home ice advantage.

Maybe we should trade for a few new fans and get some depth on our bench. Some Habs fans, perhaps – they’re pretty lively. Healthy scratch you for a game or two.
Now helping to keep an eye on all things Gr8 at Alex Ovetjkin.
At this point, there should be no question that there are still 17 games between now and the playoffs and it’s still in our best interest to try to get Varly back to how he was playing before. If he doesn’t get there, he doesn’t get there, and we go with Theo. But before Varly went down he was playing better than Theo, no question.
by sixsevenfiftysix on Mar 7, 2010 1:22 AM EST up reply actions
The luxury of being so far ahead in our division is that we can take risks like to test things like this, but for any big games, I don’t feel comfortable having Varly in over Theo.
I wanna drive the Zamboni.
Well, that’s sort of the beauty—there aren’t any “big games” left. I mean, maybe you can call the Pittsburgh games “big games”, but both of those are sufficiently far away that things can change.
Let’s not forget that there were other times this year when people were like “OMG THEO IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN VARLY, THIS IS THE BEST HE’S BEEN SINCE HE WON THE HART” and he would go on to have a bit of a slump. The #1 goalie situation is very much an open matter.
by sixsevenfiftysix on Mar 7, 2010 1:58 AM EST up reply actions
Oh yeah, I know mathematically there are no more “big games” left, but I consider every game vs. Pitt a huge game. If it is still very much an open matter, I hope we resolve it quickly, because I would like to go into the playoffs knowing with confidence who will be between the pipes; I don’t want it decided in the last couple of games before the post season.
I wanna drive the Zamboni.
I wasn’t convinced before, but I am now. Smart money says Theo is on one of his upswings and will come down again eventually. I think the leash is still short for Theo is he has a playoff meltdown ala last year, but if he plays solid hockey he’ll stay in.

Matt Bradley is fighting for ice time, and I don’t know if he’s winning that fight. Brads had a handful of hits and a nice takeaway, which is just fine for a grinder like him. But with the sudden depth of the Washington Capitals, he might have to be spectacular to stay in the lineup. Smart money says we’ll Matt Bradley gloves hit the ice before long. Also, his blood.
Now helping to keep an eye on all things Gr8 at Alex Ovetjkin.
That would be a great question: who on the Caps will take the next major penalty and in which game? Is it possible that some of the borderline playoff teams that we’re playing are valuing points in the standings over points in the fight club dailies? You’d have thought that an Avery would have considered dropping the gloves tonight. Maybe also teams are more reluctant to fight now that we’ve got at least three guys (Chimera, Bradley, Walker) who are willing to fight or consider a fight one way to awaken the sleeping Ovechkin.

Depends on the type of wings we’re talking about. Right winger Eric Fehr tallied a goal.
Or are you talking about the type of wings they serve at Glory Days.

Yeah, no free wings. C’mon Caps! 5 goals per game, is that too much to ask?

Theo Proving He's the No. 1 Starter
After the deadline passed there was a lot of talk the Caps didn’t address their two main concerns-defense and goaltending. Theo looked great against the Rangers and has raised his save percentage significantly since earlier in the season. Theo is more focused than ever and now knows Bruce won’t hesitate to pull him for Varly. It had to be embarrassing to be replaced by Varly last year so I think Theo will not only prove he deserves to be the starter, but he’ll take the Caps deep into the playoffs this year.
