As I listened to Hockey This Morning on my commute into work, the crew could not stop talking about one of the NHL's highest-paid forwards (that would be Ilya Kovalchuk of course) epic shootout fail last night in New Jersey's loss to the Sabres. So of course I had to check it out for myself:
Ooof....

Caps Look to Extinguish Lightning at Home
The Capitals return home to face conference rivals Tampa Bay after earning a big 5-3 win over the Rangers on Tuesday in a wild and wacky game that could be most appropriately dubbed “Fight Night” at MSG. Funny thing is that the heavyweight bout between DJ King and Derek Boogaard never took place; instead it was Mike Green who took on Brandon Dubinsky (and landed some nice little uppercuts in the process). After falling behind the Rangers in a chippy first period (at one point, there were three Blueshirts in the penalty box), the Caps earned their fifth consecutive win courtesy of some of the more “unsung heroes.” While big guns Alex Ovechkin, Mike Green, Alex Semin and Nicklas Backstrom did not register goals on the night (though Ovi, Semin and Green did tally helpers), it was predominantly the lunch pail crew lighting the lamp for the visitors. And that my friends, was lovely to see as we all know that that’s the kind of effort that takes teams far into the playoffs (we won’t ruin the moment by mentioning Karl Alzner’s ugly giveaway here – the kid has probably reviewed the tapes of the gaffe that led to a Rangers goal several times by now).
Brooks Laich got the party started in the first period and finished it up with the empty netter. The second period saw scoring from the tough guys on both teams – John Erskine blistered a shot past a stunned Henrik Lundqvist for his first goal of the year then Rangers enforcer Derek Boogaard took advantage of a Caps’ defensive breakdown to score his first goal in nearly five years! Mike Knuble finally reaped the rewards for all of his efforts (goodness knows it wasn’t for lack of trying last night) and Matt Hendricks almost had the Gordie Howe hat trick with an assist and third period goal, but he got whistled for roughing versus fighting against Michael Sauer. Darn it – but what a night for this gritty guy, eh? Kudos to my favorite player Matt Bradley as well, for chipping in with an assist on Hendrick’s goal.
Tampa Bay comes to town tomorrow with scary good Steven Stamkos leading their offense. The 20-year old phenom helped lead his team to a 4-0 victory over his hometown Maple Leafs last night, contributing two goals. Stamkos leads the NHL in both points (24) and goals (13). Puck Daddy recently spoke with the Bolts’ star, who’s sworn off Big Macs to maintain his optimal physical performance (HM tried telling that to my own boys, who weren’t buying it – does Gary Roberts run camps for teenage boys)? As always, the Caps will have to keep a body on the pocket-sized Martin St. Louis, who can skate in and out of compact spaces as deftly as a rodent running through the traffic near Verizon Center. The premier playmaker has notched six goals and nine assists for the season. Meanwhile, Simon Gagne, who was acquired from the Flyers in the offseason, is zip for zip and a -8 in six games played. Ouch…
Puck drops tomorrow at 7 p.m. – should be a good one as the Capitals try to capture six wins in a row!

Caps Face Blueshirts for First Meeting of the Season
Yesterday's win against the rough and tumble Flyers saw rookie net minder Braden Holtby capture his first NHL victory and Mike Green remind us the origin of his nickname "Game Over." Green, who to date is on a five-game point streak, scored his fifth career overtime goal to rank tied for second in Capitals history with Peter Bondra and Kelly Miller. Only Alex Ovechkin has more career overtime goals (8) for the Caps, who have won four straight games and placed themselves into a tie with Philadelphia atop the Eastern Conference.
Tomorrow the boys head to the Big Apple to face the New York Rangers for the first time this season. Last season, the Capitals earned the "W" in two of their three meetings against the Blueshirts. It's always a spirited affair when these two teams meet, stemming from Rangers' coach John Tortorella's bottle-tossing escapades a few seasons back. New York will be without the services of their primary sniper, Marion Gaborik. The oft-injured forward is ailing again, as is Vinny Prospal and Rags captain Chris Drury. The Capitals will be facing a young front line comprised of Ryan Callahan, Brandon Dubinsky and Artem Anisimov. Dubinsky is tied for second in the NHL in scoring - having tallied 10 goals in 14 games. In addition to uber-pest Sean Avery, the Rangers added more grit in the form of tough guy Derek Boogaard. Tomorrow's game will be broadcast on VERSUS, with puck drop at 7:30.
On another note, a ginormous stick tap to the parents, players and other volunteers with the Prince William Hockey Club, located here in Northern Virginia. After losing their rink to a roof collapse during last year's snowstorm, everyone banded together to donate their time, money and efforts to construct a temporary rink for use by their house and travel leagues. We had the opportunity to play there this weekend and the rink looks fantastic - what an amazing testament to volunteerism, hockey parents and above all, the love of the game!

Game Day: Caps and Bruins
Today's game will actually be a doubleheader for HM as my boys' team will take the ice at Verizon Center for a game in the hours before the big boys take on the brusing Bruins tonight at 7 p.m. The Caps, coming off the shootout win over the Leafs where they blew a 3-1 early lead, will certainly have their work cut out for them against a surging Bruins club. Boston goaltender Tim Thomas has been on fire as of late and is seemingly regaining his Vezina-winning form, which was absent for much of last season. Now Hockey Mom must admit to being a big Timmy Thomas fan, the guy is the true definition of the term "journeyman" and has travelled the globe to get a shot at playing the game he so loves. That said, should he dress tonight for the Bs, here's to Timmy having a rare "off-night." Thomas has led his team to a 6-1 record thus far this season, which includes a 5-2 drubbing of the Sabres on Wednesday night. That game marked the first time this season that he allowed more than one goal to cross his crease in a single game. The Capitals are going to have to create plenty of havoc in front of his crease to beat that hot hand. The Bruins have beat the Capitals twice already - let's hope the third time is a charm for the home team. Boston forwards David Krejci and Nathan Horton lead their team in scoring stats, while the hulking Milan Lucic doesn't trail too far behind his mates with 9 goals on the season. On the home bench, Tyler Sloan and Marcus Johansson are expected to be off of the injured list but the boys will still be without the services of Massachusetts native Tom Poti.
In other news, a big congrats and toast to Brooks Laich, who is Sports Illustrated writer Michael Farber's nominee for Sportsman of the Year. Not only does this dashing forward change tires, he also answers the door personally for Halloween trick-or-treaters and poses for countless pictures after returning from a late night flight from Calgary. *HM got this information from one of the aforementioned trick-or-treaters.
Speaking of Halloween, those thugnasty guys in the orange and black sweaters that Caps fans love to hate will be paying a visit on Sunday. Here's a shocker for you - Flyers' Dan Carcillo (who was also involved later in the altercation that got team mate Daniel Briere suspended) took down the Rangers' Ruslan Fetodenko last night with an elbow to the face. Though no call was made on the ice, Carcillo may be chewing his nails today to see if there is any additional discipline handed down as he is the epitomy of a "repeat offender."
Check it out here:
While we're sharing videos - just in case you missed this one - Sidney Crosby actually dropped his mitts against Dallas Stars player Matt Niskanen is a game that turned out to be Fight Night in Dallas. The Kid actually got a few good blows in - how epic would an Ovi/Crosby fight be?
Finally, Musings of a Hockey Mom has been invited to be a part of your one-stop news and information source for all things D.C.: the TBD Community Network. Be sure to bookmark TBD for all the latest news and sports plus fabulous local blog coverage on everything from dining to shopping and more...

Caps and Kids to Kick it at Sticks N' Sneakers Thursday
Young Capitals fans will join Capitals forwards Eric Fehr and D.J. King along with assistant coach Dean Evason, strength and condition coach Mark Nemish and Slapshot tomorrow for Sticks 'n Sneakers at Kettler Capitals Iceplex. 120 youngsters, ranging from 6 - 14 years of age, will gather for the sold-out event hosted by Dasani.
The evening will be divided into four sessions. The first two sessions will be on the ice demonstrations with Caps players Fehr and King. The first session is with Fehr where he will be teaching the kids how to shoot the puck.
The second session will be with King where he will be teaching the kids how to pass the puck. The kids will get hands on experience from the players themselves. Hmm, I wonder how many kids will ask DJ King for fighting tips?
The second session will focus on the various rules of the game and the importance of good sportmanship while playing the game with assistant coach Evason. During this off-ice session, Evason will break the game down and explain to the kids what is a penalty and why.
The third session will be conducted by strength and condition coach Nemish who will run the kids through a few conditioning exercises and discuss the importance of strength and conditing. Hockey is a long 82-game season which takes a toll on the body. HM's boys have trained with Nemish as part of his program and I can attest that the kids will leave with a greater appreciation for the hard work it takes to get into prime playing form and maintain it during the grueling season!
Finally, to wrap up the festivities, Slap Shot will join the kids for a pizza party. With the success of Hockey ‘n Heels and the growing number of kids joining the Caps Kids Club the Capitals wanted to reach out to their kid fan base. To learn more about the Caps Kids Club, go to http://capitals.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=59825.
Sounds like a fabulous time!
Speaking of kids, HM will be joining my boys and their Bantam team as they get the chance to play on Verizon Center ice this Friday before the Caps meet the Bruins later that night. It's always a fun and memorable event for the kids and thanks to the organization for giving area hockey players the opportunity to play on their favorite team's home ice!

Caps Edge Leafs in Shoot Out Win
The beleaguered Toronto Maple Leafs paid a visit to our nation's capital this evening, hoping to stop their three-game losing streak with a win against the surging Capitals. The Leafs would have to place more defensive responsibilities on the shoulders of the baby-faced Luke Schenn, as their rough and tumble captain Dion Phaneuf is on the shelf for at least a month after suffering a cut from a skate blade (after seeing my own kiddo cut by a blade two weeks ago, HM sends heartfelt hockey healing wishes to the Leafs' leader).
Rookie of the month Michal Neuvirth manned the crease for the Caps while Jonas Gustavssson (AKA "The Monster") stood guard for Toronto. Fans knew fisticuffs were virtually inevitable and heavyweights DJ King and Colton Orr got the party started early by dropping the gloves at the 6:45 mark of the first period. Mike Knuble was visibly chomping at the bit to score and tallied four shots on goal in the opening period. While the Capitals out shot the Leafs in the opening stanza, it was the visitors who lit the lamp first as Nikolai Kulemin beat John Erskine to get his team on the board. The first penalty of the game came in the waning minutes of the period when - hold your breath in disbelief - Sasha Semin took a seat for slashing. End of first period: Leafs 1 - Caps 0
After killing off the penalty, the boys in red owned the second period. After Ovi was tripped by Schenn, Mike Green tallied a power play goal to tie the game. Funny - one of the topics of conversation on XM's Hockey This Morning centered on some fans' frustration surrounding Green's more defensive style of play thus far. Of course last year, Green was blasted for being more of an offensive d-man. Poor guy - can't please 'em all. Tonight's lovely power play goal for big 52 should quiet the haters temporarily at least. The Caps put two more on the board after the power play marker - with the goals a mere 53 seconds apart! Jason Chimera netted one assisted by his pals on everyone's favorite "grinder line" - Matt Bradley and Boyd Gordon. Then John Carlson ripped one from the blue line that was deflected right past the not-so-scary Monster. Ovechkin connected with Nicklas Backstrom who shot at what appeared to be a wide-open net, but Gustavsson may have had a hand in stopping the dangerous center. The Leafs' Schenn was having a hard time staying out of the penalty box and ended the period by boarding David Steckel. End of second period: Caps 3 - Leafs 1
The Capitals started the final period with the man-advantage but were unable to convert. And then it was the Leafs' turn to light it up seconds apart. Toronto turned the momentum as their elite defense man Tomas Kaberle scored at the 4:14 mark. Then it was former Blackhawk Kris Versteeg's turn as he evaded a sprawling Mike Green - Mike Komisarek had helpers on both goals. Eric Fehr, who was having a rather nice game, got the whistle for tripping at 6:28. On the ensuing power play, Tyler Bozak hushed a packed Verizon Center crowd as he netted a wrist shot to give the Leafs a 4-3 lead. But the visitors didn't hold that lead for long as the Capitals got the man advantage courtesy of a Brett Lebda cross check. While Caps' faithful held their collective breath, the power play unit went to work. Alex Semin battled hard to net one under the bar and tie the contest at 4-4.
In what appeared to be a surefire Capitals' win in the second period, this game was headed to overtime. The Caps were gifted with a 4-on-3 power play in the extra minutes as Clarke MacArthur served two minutes for slashing but Jonas Gustavsson lived up to his nickname in keeping the Leafs in the game. But this one wasn't over yet, no sir, not by a long shot. With no decision reached in OT, the game was headed to a hand-wringing shoot out. Michal Neuvirth was spectacular in keeping sniper Phil Kessel off the score sheet and later denying Nikolai Kulemon. But in the end, the two Alexes saved the day as both Ovechkin and Semin beat the Monster. Not the brilliant performance we saw from the boys in Calgary by any means and Semin was maddening but stellar at the same time. In any case, the boys walked away with the win and will face the bruising Bruins on Friday. Final score: Caps 5 - Leafs 4

Neuvirth Named NHL's Rookie of the Month
Hockey Mom is slowly catching back up with my life and the hockey buzz after being in Mickey and Minnie's backyard in sunny Florida all last week for a work conference. And apparently I missed a humdinger of a win by the boys against the Flames on Saturday - those are the Caps we all know and love!
And to start the new week off right, please join me in a festive toast to our own Michal Neuvirth, who was named the league's Rookie of the Month for October. Neuvy currently boasts a .926 save percentage and has performed brilliantly in the crease while Semyon Varlamov has been sidelined with nagging injuries.
Speaking of injuries, hopefully some of the Capitals nursing bumps and bruises might be back in action soon. The injury bug is biting several teams around the league, with New Jersey Devils star Zach Parise the latest to go down - three months with a knee injury. And the Penguins' Jordan Staal just can't catch a break. Staal has been recuperating from complications that emerged after having off-season foot surgery only to finally return to practice and suffer a fractured hand.
And thankfully no injury was suffered by Frans Nielsen of the Islanders after Danny Briere's latest act of spineless thuggery (the aforementioned pint-sized Flyer has never been particularly high on HM's list of favorite players). The incident has been front-page news in the hockey media the past few days and Briere was slapped with a three-game suspension, after which he denied deliberately cross-checking Nielsen. Yeah right Danny Boy - go tell it to the judge. Briere should be back on the bench when our friendly pals from Philly visit the Verizon Center on Sunday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the Capitals are preparing for a visit from the Toronto Maple Leafs tomorrow night. The Leafs may be without the services of their captain Dion Phaneuf, who left tonight's battle with Ottawa with an undisclosed injury.
