Really enjoyed todays game! I'm saving this one permanently to my DVR. Some key points for me.
  • Ovechkin ties Gretzky at home! (duh) This is not a game I will forget.
  • Leonard is getting better with each game and looks like a stud.
  • Lenny with his first goal on the same night Ovi ties Gretz is a great omen.
  • I think Big Pro is gonna be ok, but Willy might be a little banged up.
  • The goaltending hasn't been as good as earlier in the season. I think LT has been nursing an injury for a few weeks now, so it's good that he rests. I feel ok with Lindgren in net, but.....
  • Caps need to tighten up defensive play before the playoffs. Can't expect to go far in the playoffs playing as loose as they are.
 
Somebody needs to start a rumor from a semi-credible account.

'BREAKING: Patrick Roy has announced he is coming out of retirement to start Sunday for the Islanders.'

Maybe throw in a semi-believable quote like 'I don't trust my goaltenders, so I'm going to get us into the playoffs on my own.'
 
Leonard, in three games (to me) has gone from:

-Deer in the head lights
-Solid
-Top 3 player on the team

(needs to keep the desire to deke all 5 players on the other team down to a minimum)
I think he might have gotten moved to play with Dowd and Duhaime not totally as a punishment but to put him in a position to simplify the game a bit. I do love seeing the confidence.
 
Really glad this is going to be over soon. We need to get back to focusing on good hockey, and I haven’t seen it in a while. Not sure how much the chase has effected that, but still wasn’t impressed with the play.
 
Speaking of Leonard… he’s raw but the skill set is apparent and the style of play is going to translate. He’ll have a long career.

When he fills out he could be a Dustin Brown or Oshie type.
