Hockey Thoughts: Caps v. Habs Game #4 Wrap-Up

I just realized that I haven't had a political post yet, and the majority of the subjects here have been hockey-related.  Not to worry.  Hockey season will wind down soon and I'll have to find other things to talk about for a few months.

Anyway...I listened to the game tonight via the interwebs because I was still at work and Versus decided to run the Boston v. Buffalo game again, for some unexplained stupid reason.  I was starting to get frustrated because it seemed that either the Caps had fallen back again or Montreal had figured something out again.  Honestly, its really hard to tell when you are listening on the radio in the first place.  To make matters worse, whoever this radio guy was DID NOT CALL THE GAME.  He was a fountain of obscure statistics and hockey history, so much so that I expected him to tell me what color underwear the players were wearing when they did this or that.  There were literally spans of time where it was dead air because he wasn't calling the game and he wasn't spouting statistics.  Five and ten seconds at a time of silence.

Price had good success against the Caps this season and the Caps didn't have a good track record playing IN Montreal, and apparently with getting up 3-1 in a series according to Mr. Statistics Man.  I assumed that the Caps, though, had cracked the Montreal nut in the last game.  After facing a ridiculous number of shots they busted the game wide open, and topped it off with two empty netters.  I wish I could say more about the game, but my limited information doesn't really allow me to extrapolate any more than that.  The series returns to Verizon Center Friday night and hopefully the Caps lock it up in front of their home crowd and have some time to rest.  GO CAPS!!!
