As all you great Caps fans know, that picture of the scoreboard of the Verizon Center doesn't reflect the final score of last night's Caps/Devils contest. That was the final score of the twins' team as they took on another Pee Wee team on the Verizon Center ice. It was such a kick to see how excited these guys were to play on NHL ice and 6 of our players notched goals in a professional arena. And of course, Hockey Mom's twins each took a stint in John Erskine's hot seat, the Cap's penalty box.
Capital's mascot Slapshot was in the house and he had a great time chastising all those naughty kids who ended up in the sin bin! A great time was had by all - thanks to Tim Bronough and the Caps staff for making this game possible!
Of course the whole team was in attendance for the Caps/Devils game. Ovechkin netted 2 goals including an empty-netter and Jose Theodore was on his game in a 3 - 1 victory against the boys from Tony Soprano's stomping grounds. The victory didn't come without a price as league-leading scorer Alex Semin did not return for the third period with an "undisclosed" upper body injury. Latest news on that situation is that he is day-to-day and might be a "game-time" decision as the Caps take on Devils tonight at The Rock in New Jersey.
Gotta run to practice - more on tonight's contest and HM's thoughts on the Barry Melrose firing later...
