The Capitals obviously weren't in full playoff mode this afternoon: several regulars sat the game out, the hitting was not as hard and the forechecking was not as intense as it is when the team's playing all out, all game long. Still, there was more of a spark, more energy, and more excitement to the Caps than there has been for most post-Olympic games, something that speaks to how hungry this team is for the postseason - and helped to demonstrate the kind of play this team is capable of.
I'm sure there will be some nerves and some stilted play at the outset of the team's first playoff game, but I'm also sure I'm not the only one who's dying to see what these guys will pull out when the chips are down.
Ten additional thoughts on this afternoon's game:
- For those who don't know, the Capitals' first round opponent will be determined by the three o'clock game between the Flyers and Rangers (On the NHL Network, for those that have it). If the Rangers win, they'll be the Capitals first round opponent; if the Flyers win, the Caps will face the Canadiens. Who would you rather see?
- It feels weird to say this, but it was kind of nice to have the last game of the regular season go to a shootout. The players joking around with one another and their coaches, and Bruce Boudreau's decision to give the shootout attempts to Boyd Gordon and Matt Bradley were rare opportunities to watch some of the best hockey players in the world just have fun. With all the pressure players are under every night, replays being broken down over and over again, and the amount of discussion we fans devote to even the tiniest minutiae of every outing, sometimes it's easy to forget that hockey is, in fact, a game.
- I loved the way Jason Chimera crashed the next hard in the first period, especially since it drew the Caps a powerplay (and because Tim Thomas is exactly the guy you want to crash the net hard against). I can't say I was too thrilled with his ten-minute misconduct later in the first, though. Nonetheless, there shouldn't be any argument that a guy who brings that kind of intensity and energy to a game that meant as little as today's is a guy you want on your side come playoff time.
- Jeff Schultz has finished the season with a plus-50 rating, had a plus-12 rating and three assists in six April games, hasn't been a minus player since St. Patrick's Day, and has been on the ice for only one even-strength goal against since Washington's March 28th loss to Calgary. Just having him healthy for the playoffs this year (knock on wood) should be a huge improvement over last year's squad.
- Eric Belanger hasn't exactly been an offensive dynamo since he was dealt to the Capitals, but his goal this afternoon was a perfect of example of why he doesn't need to be one in order to make the team better. Simply put, David Steckel doesn't make offensive plays like that, and the fact that the Caps now have a guy who can playing on the third line and have been able to move Steckel to the fourth line makes them a better team.
- Pretty good outing for Semyon Varlamov, both statistically and to the eye. You have to figure that Jose Theodore's still going to be the number one guy when the team's first playoff series opens, but it's nice to know Varly's back in form and there as a safety net should Theo struggle or get hurt.
- Some time between now and Thursday night, I'm going to need to go out and buy some Nerf footballs, baseballs, frisbees, what have you. You know,
just in caseso when Tom Poti inevitably makes the kind of weak, ill-advised, up-the-middle clearing attempt that led to Michael Ryder's powerplay goal in a playoff game I don't break anything. - Speaking of which, the Caps' penalty kill ice time for defensemen? 2:32 for Shaone Morrisonn, 2:15 for Poti and 1:56 each for Mike Green and Jeff Schultz. That's a much better allocation of PK ice time than we've seen for a lot of the season.
- On Mike Green dropping down to block a shot in overtime in a meaningless game with the playoffs getting under way in just a few days: love the effort; would not have been sad to see the puck miss him altogether. Even if it'd gone in the Capitals' net.
- I have to admit it made me a little sad to hear Pierre McGuire say Jeff Schultz is the "best defenseman in the NHL no one talks about." I mean, you always figure that the guys who work for the big mainstream media outlets aren't reading Japers' Rink, but to have it thrown in your face like that. . .
So the regular season has finally come to a close, the second season's ready to start, and you really couldn't have asked for anything more out of the Caps. The President's Trophy is locked up; with it the number one overall seed in the postseason tournament. Depth has been added, upgrades have been made, and chemistry has formed. Now it's time to take advantage of all that hard work the guys put in and get out there and do one thing:
Win one game. Do it sixteen times.

great recap, as always.
Though initially I responded negatively
I actually do enjoy the fact that BB just ended it like he did, with some casual fun picks to lighten the mood, and celebrate a fantastic regular season.
Anyone else think that Carlson was looking a little panicky at times?

Here’s to 70 wins!
I didn’t like BB’s TOI distribution. For the defenseman, John Carlson was far behind the rest and Mike Green far ahead, and up front, Ovie far ahead, and a couple more minutes to guys like Walker would’ve been nice.
Why is Scott Walker on the 2nd PP? Since Fehr and Flash were scratched?
Boston’s TOI distribution up front was terrific. Through 60, no forward under 11 or over 20, I believe.
26 hits, 14 giveaways, 18 takeaways combined by Ctrl F on the play-by-play. Not too bad. Could’ve been better, I thought, with Chara out and the Bs not really having anything to play for.

The Power Play was certainly bad in the last two games. No goals in either game. Could part of the reason (in addition to overpassing to give guys personal milestones) be the fact that the guys on the second PP unit are the ones who’ve been scratched. Knuble on Friday and then Flash and Fehr today.

I’d rather philly be our 1st round opponent now…dont want lundqvist stealing a series. Caps also have troubles against mtl
I've often thought of becoming a golf club
Philly cannot be our 1st round opponent.
is either MTL or NYR
I Laich the professor.
resident master jinxer
Lundqvist tried and failed to steal a series last year – and he did so with a better team in front of him and a worse Caps team as his opponent.
And usually I’d agree on Montreal but I’m starting to change my mind. The Habs are seriously backing into the playoffs right now – they couldn’t get up enough energy and talent to beat their most hated rival in a practically must-win game last night. Plus Halak is coming back down to earth. No way can they come at the Caps over the course of 4-7 games with anything near enough to beat them.
I’m feeling strangely confident right now – this team has the goods, I know it. After the first round (maybe the second) all bets are off, but they have the ability to do it for sure. Neither the Habs nor the Rangers will derail them, I honestly believe that.
by Becca H on Apr 11, 2010 4:14 PM EDT up reply actions 5 recs
I think the question between Habs or Rags is a matter of who can we beat in fewer games? I’ll be honest I don’t know much about the Habs, I missed most of our games against them this season, but while I don’t think Lundqvist can steal a series, I do think he can steal a game or two and extend the series beyond 4-5 games. And in the first round, that is not something I want.

Additionally, the Rangers are a much more physical team than the Habs. The odds of having a player (or more) coming out of a first round series against New York is much larger than it is against a team as non-physical as the Habs are, even if you play more games against Montreal.

I’d say if Halak catches on fire he has as much chance as Lundqvist does of extending the series to an unnaturally long run. Meanwhile once the Caps were focused and firing at all cylinders last year, we chased Lundqvist twice (?). I don’t foresee them needing 2 games to warm up again this year, for some reason…
The Rangers are more physical but that’s not saying much, since the Habs don’t really hit at all. Plus this year the guy with the most hits in New York is Callahan, and he just injured himself in Friday’s game trying to hit Pronger. Beyond that I don’t see anyone on their roster being SO physical it breaks our guys – it’s not like the Caps don’t have players who can hit, you know?
i prefer the Rags myself, the two teams really don’t differ much in terms of toughness. The Habs are the smaller team, but MTL plays us better than the Rags. Toronto has always loved beating MTL, and would’ve loved to wreck their playoff chances last night. Though they’re not playing well of late, I think MTL holds their own in the first round.
I’m not worried about the Caps throwing hits, I’d just prefer to minimize the hits they take. Callahan is a hitter, but Dubinsky forechecks and hits well, also. The Rangers a more aggressive, harder forechecking team than the Canadiens are, top-to-bottom.

I feel like he’s stepped that up in the last 2-3 weeks or so – might be a sign of frustration that he IS getting taken down / hooked / held / high-sticked and nothing is getting called.
Not saying it’s the right way to go about it, of course, and it’s absolutely a diving call waiting to happen…but that doesn’t mean the refs should simply look the other way every time #28 gets taken down.
The problem is that once you have a rep as a diver, deserved or not, officials are going to look the other way sometimes… fact of life.

Wow! And this was the guy who people were saying sucked as a defenseman and should be sent back to Hershey.
Last year: No Schultz — no playoff series win against Pittsburgh
This year: Schultz is healthy. He looked good against Pitt during the regular season. Having Schultz in the playoffs will DEFINITELY help.
Yes, Schultz can be awkward at times and when he screws up, it’s spectacular. But he is definitely one of our better defensemen. Him and Green.

Not exactly a satisfying way to end the regular season, but considering we’ve got a potentially fantastic post season to look forward to, I’m ok with that. And I agree with you, J.P, it was fun and refreshing to see the guys just relax and joke around in the SO.
Thanks boys in red for an unforgettable 82 games. Thanks J.P. et al. for being fantastic hosts, for giving me an outlet for my Caps fanaticism 3,000 miles away, and for being contributors to my lack of thesis writing.

On Mike Green dropping down to block a shot in overtime in a meaningless game with the playoffs getting under way in just a few days: love the effort; would not have been sad to see the puck miss him altogether. Even if it’d gone in the Capitals’ net.
You’re stepping it up for the playoffs. Good Recap.
I'm not JTRS compliant.
Or ever show it. NBC came back from commercial, showing him sitting in the box. Doc originally said it was 2 minutes for “mouthing off”, but after they noticed the Caps playing 5 skaters, they realized it was a 10 min. misconduct. I can’t believe they’d give a 10 min. for colorful language.
"It hit me on the pants. I had protection. It felt good. Why? I wanted to win."
I’m guessing Chimera was not selected before the game to wear the mic for Sounds of the Game…would have loved to hear what he said. We couldn’t figure out why he got the penalty from our seats, although I did enjoy watching him throw things around the penalty box.
And am I crazy or did Knuble go over there to calm him down? Looked like it to me, not sure if they showed that on TV but if anyone else was there maybe they can back me up…
I also thought it was Knuble who went to calm him down. We were scratching our heads too over why Chimmer had to go to the box again, and he did spend a great deal of time “talking” to the ref sending him there. Is that when the 2 minutes turned into 10? Love Chimmer’s feistiness. And speed! What a way to draw the penalty for a change after getting out.

Heading in towards Thomas after the whistle screaming “I’m going to fuck you up!” & other epithets. I thought it was a good move by the refs to sit him for a bit and let him calm down.

It won’t be announced until later tonight, but the playoffs don’t start until the 15th for anyone. If the Caps get Montreal, I would bet on the Caps starting Thursday/Saturday so game 2 can be on Hockey Night in Canada. If the Caps get the Rangers, NBC will want Caps/Rangers on Sunday, so Friday/Sunday will be the start….
Those are guesses though. We will all know this evening.

I can definitely make Game 1 if it’s Thursday evening. Game 2 if it’s definitely Saturday for Hockey Night in Canada. Friday/Sunday … depending on when the puck drops, I doubt I’ll be free to make b/c of a weekend of seminar fun saturating my brain with Structures.

I was thinking about that earlier – it’ll be interesting to see what happens if this stays tied. You know the Flyers won’t want to go to a shootout and will be pressing in OT, while the Rangers know how much better their odds are in the shootout and might be more conservative.
…of course considering both teams need to win to get in I’m sure they’ll both go, er, kiwis to the walls if you will.
Yes it can, and yes it would suck…

Observations from Section 421.
A few end of regular season notes:
1) Nice to know the Caps match up evenly with the Bruins without using two different 20 goal guys, Fehr and Flash will be ready for the playoffs.
2) I guess Bruce wasn’t too concerned about the gimmick point in the shoot out, although it would have been nice to see Brads bury one…
3) Nice give away for Fan Appreciation Day, the umbrella is pretty cool. Smart move giving them out on the way out. Definitely don’t want 18,000 javelins out there…
4) Slapshot’s dye job… needs some work… bald eagles don’t have red feathers.
5) As far as a first round opponent… I want Montreal. I am still having nightmares about Lundqvist from last year… and watching him against the Flyers today, he’s on his game…
So now we wait for the playoffs. I hate the wait, but I understand why the NHL has the short break (it’s in case there’s a postponement that needs to be rescheduled…)
Let's go Caps!
Bah, PHI-NYR OT…PHI has almost twice as many shots as NYR. Yea, I do not want to face Lundqvist in Round 1.

Interesting. Per Rule 51.3, goalies punching w/ their blockers to the face of an opponent receive a match penalty.
Meh. F&B and I were discussing this during the game – he should have been chucked, but I preferred playing against him as opposed to Rask.

and the fact that the Caps now have a guy who can playing on the third line and have been able to move Steckel to the fourth line makes them a better team.
I know we all did an in depth comparison to BMo, but there is another center that has dressed for the Capitals who could also bump Steckel down to the 4th line. What does Belanger have that Perrault doesn’t? Size?

Photo of the Shootout
Think the B’s had a “book” on Varly? Two chances, two dekes, two goals. If Ryder could deke, it might have been 3/3.
I'm not JTRS compliant.
So Bruce thinks Boston’s main goal was to keep Ovi from getting points (and therefore winning the game was secondary).
“Boston looked to me like their whole concern, for the most part, was to not let Alex score,” Boudreau said. "That was their goal today. Every time he was on the ice today they had three or four guys attacking him and they were hanging back.
Because Boston hates him, or payback for Chara’s broken nose, even though that was Semin? Or Bruce is just hallucinating?
"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."
I’m going with BB maybe playing it up a bit, but I’d almost guarantee that the words “don’t let Ovechkin score” or some sort of equivalents were used in the B’s locker room today. Compare and contrast to how Calgary, also playing a meaningless game, played H. Sedin last night.

Well, Calgary didnt have anything to play for really.
Except to let Henrik dance around them and make them all look like fools
Bah-Ram-Ewe, Ovechkin will wreck you. Fear the Furious Fleece!
wow totally missed your “also playing a meaningless game”
Would like to add, that Calgary and Nucks are always a huge rivalry, and the flames still didn’t come out to play. They really didn’t care about that game.
I am gonna go with Bruce on the one, boston had like three guys back every time Ovie had the puck. But they were still concerned with winning, so it wasn’t prioriety number 1
Bah-Ram-Ewe, Ovechkin will wreck you. Fear the Furious Fleece!
That’s just how they usually play.
