Postgame Recap: Flames 4 Caps 3 OT

 The Caps losing streak continues, after a great effort the Caps again blew a lead and lost in overtime. You know you are in a losing streak when the tying goal was on a fluke clearing attempt that hit Troy Brouwer and past Braden Holtby. So, the frustration continues.



Caps/Flames Highlights:

My Thoughts:

*The Caps had a good effort even thought they fell short. Hopefully that effort continues and they will eventually break out of their slump. Remember the Flyers had rough start last year and made the playoffs. So the Caps can too, they just have to turn it around soon.

*Tom Wilson had a great game again. He had an assist and played well with Ovechkin and Backstrom. He should have had the game winner at the buzzer but Jonas Hiller robbed him. That's the luck the Caps have had lately.

*Mike Green was promoted as he was taking a lot of shifts with Brooks Orpik while John Carlson was with Nate Schmidt.

*I though Nick Backstrom was the best player on the ice last night. He has been arguably the Caps MVP so far this season.

*Alex Ovechkin past Peter Bondra for the Caps all time leader in points. Ovechkin had two assists, Bondra was in the owner suite with Ted Leonsis. Congrats to OV! It's been fun to watch you, now time to turn this thing around and get one big prize.

*Marcus Johansson scored on a shot that went off the end boards and came back out and went off Hiller and in. Johansson so far along with Wilson have been the most improved Caps this year.

*Joel Ward scored on a 5 on 3 and is playing better, now I think it's time for Jason Chimera to break out.

*The Caps 4th line of Liam O'Brien, Michael Latta, and Jay Beagle were a pleasure to watch last night.  They forchecked hard and kept the Flames in their own zone. They also were able to generate scoring chances. If I were Barry Trotz I would keep those 3 together.
