It seems like everyone is mulling over the Caps 5-2 loss last night. The main downfalls were the lack of a powerplay and the collapse after tying the game at 2-2 with 10 minutes to go.
Says JP at Japers' Rink;
I had a horrible nightmare last night. There I was watching a Caps game and during a five-on-three power play, the Caps sent out an extra-man unit that had Joe Motzko manning one of the points.Much to my dismay, this wasn't a nightmare from which I could wake up, and the Caps' punchless power play let them down yet again, going 0-for-6 in the 5-2 loss to the Isles (the penalty kill was a woeful 2-for-5, which certainly didn't help either).
Over at the Fanhouse Eric goes over where they stand now, and what have been the reasons behind their 3-3 start.
On Frozen Blog waxes poetic over last night's failings.
But by far the most amusing post of the day comes from Charlie Teljeur at The Hockey News. He reviews the fictional movie franchise NHLPA. It's eerily similar to the real-life NHLPA, but as Charlie notes;
The following is purely fictional and meant for entertainment purposes only. By entertainment, we mean we hope you laugh while reading this, while framing this, or while burning this. Any similarities between this and actual events is strictly coincidental and frankly, dumb luck. Remember to remind your lawyer about the made-up part, OK?
It's a good idea to leave the fun story last, because after going through the recaps of last night, you'll want something to boost your spirits.
