Caps 4 – Flyers 2 Let that roll off the tongue and appreciate it… Caps 4 – Flyers 2 . It was a game that had more than a faint whiff of a playoff air to it as the Caps and Flyers traded chances for 60 minutes, fought hard for every scrap of ice, and competed hard in what amounted to periods five, six, and seven of a year-long battle (the Flyers needing the first four periods to take...

Tonight’s menu special… Bruce Boudreau was in a tinkering mood tonight, desperately trying to find a wing – any wing – who could make a difference skating with Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom. Mike Knuble, Brooks Laich, Eric Fehr, Matt Bradley (seriously), Peter Bondra, Alan Haworth, Brian Bellows, Esa Tikkanen… ok, those last few weren’t in the lineup, but...

Yup, those who average a goal every 29.3 seconds earn the right to celebrate. (AP Photo/John Bazemore) Capitals 5, Thrashers 4 : Last night's game between Washington and Atlanta was a tight affair for the first thirty minutes. It was at that point that the Caps unleased an offensive fury, the likes of which hasn't been seen since that glorious day when I mastered the unstoppable wraparound glitch...

Turnabout's fair play, Jim "The Grynn" Emmerson (the guitarist who stood in last night) is playing with his own band Shrood tonight at The Hop, Bank Street, Wakefield. Think a funkier version of Red Hot Chilli Peppers and you're just about there. They're the most enjoyable band I've seen in Wakefield doing their own stuff rather than covers, and The Hop really does, er, 'hop' on a Friday...

Uh, hey, Jose, the shot -- the eventual game-winner from Thomas Holmstrom -- is on over that-a-way. (AP Photo/Gary Malerba) Red Wings 3, Capitals 2 : There is no denying the the Washington Capitals might be the most talented team in the NHL.

Goaltending. It was a game about goaltending. Well, sort of. Because if Jose Theodore didn’t play as well as he did, and Chris Osgood didn’t play as poorly as he did on two shots, the Caps would have lost tonight’s game against the Red Wings by a much wider margin than the final 3-2 score. Actually, it was something of a clinic in Red Wing hockey. Subtle, yet effective defense. Don’t...
