Another 2 points

The Caps win today against the Boston Bruins in an OT shoot-out 2-1. The refs were pretty much acting the same way that they did in Boston, ignorant, blind, and their whistles half way up their ass. Yes, Ovechkin totally dove and embellished the call on the tripping penalty.

Sure we surrendered a point to the Boston 'I can't buy a win' Bruins. But at least we are now 2 points away from gaining a playoff birth this afternoon.

It would not surprise me that there is a conspiracy in the NHL this season. There are those that have this never ending itch to scratch that results in getting the 'Original Six' into the playoffs. So here's a giant 'Fuck You' to Gary Bettman and his completely inane ideal on trying to 'aid' the 'Original Six' into the playoffs this season. *cough* pay the refs...

It seems that the 'analysts & announcers' are quite ill-informed regarding the Caps performance as well. Today while watching the Flyers & Penguins, the announcers credited Crosby as the savior of the last game against the Caps last Sunday, with 2 goals in that game. If anyone watched the game in that claustrophobic and oxygen starved announcing booth of theirs, they would have remembered that Crosby only really had 1 goal, and Backstrom helped the Penguins cause on an accidental horrible goal. Sorry Caps fans, it sucks to bring it up, but none-the-less, the truth.

Why does the freaking MSM think that they are above all others and feel that Crosby > Ovechkin. It's two completely different players and style of play. Is it cuz he's North American and Ovechkin is Russian? No, again it's Bettman and his army of idiot analysts that are trying to corrupt and downplay the Capitals amazing run and push to the playoffs by trying to portray the Capitals as a second rate team who is inferior to other teams in the Eastern Conference. Ovechkin has more points than Crosby.

Malkin should be getting way more attention than he does as he has been the true foundation, support, and reason that the Penguins are in the position they are currently in. MSM sucks. Never giving credit to the real heroes, instead giving it to the 'manufactured' heroes that they want to see. I hope that 'sid the kid' ends up one and done again this playoff season, and that the Caps go to the finals and win it all. Even then, MSM would not acknowledge Ovechkin for being the great player that he is.

Enough ranting and conspiracy theories, more celebrating. Caps come out on top with 2 points and are within striking distance of the Flyers for 8th place. Let's hope they bring their A++ game to Nashville and Chicago on Tuesday & Wednesday. Go Caps!
