The Noon Number

7 - Number of hat tricks the Washington Capitals have notched against the Ottawa Senators, the most they have against any single team (tied with Tampa Bay).

Four of those seven have come in Ottawa (where the two teams will play tonight), including a four-goal game for Alex Ovechkin, a three-goal game for Alexander Semin, and three- and four-goal games for Peter Bondra. The other three hatties were banked at home by Ovechkin, Bondra and Todd Krygier.

I look at that pic, and the only thing I can think of is, “huh, and I thought it was only the Caps who left forwards get below both D to the top of the crease”

I look at that picture, knowing Ovi’s current status, and sigh…

I’ll call it: Perry with his second hat trick of the season against the Sens.

Pretty telling of your ages when JP uses “Katy” and Peerless uses “Como”

Sounds like Ovi might be a scratch-

Ok – the Republican debate or (if you knew this was coming tonite:) a rerun of Monday night’s AHL-level performance Capitals, now with less Ovi?

The Todd Krygier Hattie...

…was the stuff of legends. It was the return match of a home-and-home, where the Caps lost 6-5 in the first one up in Ottawa. Krygier led the Caps with 3 goals and a helper in an 8-4 revenge win.

The previous visit by Ottawa to Washington that season was an interesting affair to, with the Caps winning 11-2, The Caps bagged 5 goals against starter Darren Madeley, and then buried 6 goals on future Caps back-up goalie Craig Billington (on 12 shots). Both teams came to the game with the big fighters too, as the Caps dressed Alan May, Craig Berube and Enrico Ciccone, while Ottawa brought Bill Huard and Dennis Vial.

I remember being at that 11-2 game. That was fun.

as far as today’s Noon Number goes, I am confused by this apparent optimism.

Today is National Margarita Day: in preparation for viewing the slag-heap (credit to Smokin’ Al for that one) that is the current state of Das Kapital, , I vote to forego the limes and salt and start pounding straight tequilla shots.
