Catching up...Caps 0 - Canes 3

Your day late, dvr reviewed, recap...a dissappointing 0 point night against the Canes. Another stellar performance put forth by Vokoun, only wasted away by his teamates and their lack of offensive production.

Instead of your Ovechkin highlight of the game, maybe I'll start putting your daily Hendricks' fight since Ovie likes to put some stinker games together here and there...so here you go...

Your Save of the game, Vokoun had many beauties..

Ok, down to the dirty truth...

A stelllar night by Vokoun is wasted by the lack of offense once again.  Seems to be the broken record of the Caps now.  Goaltending is not the problem right now.  It's the offense, or lack of it.  23 shots tonight vesus 33 for the Canes.  The Caps had their chances tonight but just could not put together any real sustained offensive effort.

The strong powerplay (whoops I forgot, only at home) let us down again and even gave up a short handed goal.  Not acceptable.  Matt Hendricks having more shots on goal than Ovechkin, who logged 24 minutes of ice time, NOT ACCEPTABLE.

The enigma that this team is right now is very frustrating.  When we win, we are still left frustrated as fans.  We'll win and have 20 shots on goal verus 40 or so for the opponent.  Ovechkin and the skill players only putting 6 shots on net per period, mind-blowing.  Especially when you consider the talent we have on this team and the numbers these same players have produced before.

Nevertheless, we will continue cheering on the Caps.  They'll pull it out this season and be a better team in the end from all these bumps along the road.  GO CAPS!
