Capitals Fall 6-2 in Game #7
May 15th, 2009 by jcgillen
The Caps couldn’t have picked a worse spot to have a bad game. The Game 7 dream match up between the Caps and the Pens never really materialized. The Caps Alex Ovechkin had a chance to put the home team up on an early breakaway but was stopped by a nice glove save from the Pittsburgh goalie. Then a bad penalty led to the first Pens goal and 8 seconds later it was 2-0. The second period wasn’t much better the Pens got two more goals and young Simeon Varlamov’s night was done. Jose Theodore came on and gave up one more and the lead was 5-0. Alex Ovechkin scooped up a misplayed puck and scored to make it 5-1 going into the third. The Caps came out with a bit of life early in the period but a 4 minute high stick penalty put them back on the ropes. Pressing to get offense even with a man down cost the Caps as the Pen scored a breakaway goal. Brooks Laich scored a net mouth goal to make it 6-2 but it was too late. Now the Capitals head to the off season and will try to get the formula right for next year. It was a great season for such a young team but it still stings to lose such a big game.

Good evening,
My name is Richie Denis, I’m the director of business development at MVN.com.
I found your blog in a google search. I was wondering if perhaps you’d be interesting in establishing your blog at MVN.
We’d love to have a blog of your quality on the Most Valuable Network where we enjoy 40,000 page views daily.
There are a few different options:
1. You can write for one of MVN.com’s blog and promote your current blog through this site. All that we ask is that you post to MVN atleast once a week.
2. You can move your blog over to the Most Valuable Network.com and establish yourself there.
3. You can create your own blog on MVN and do a mixture of the two prior options!
Please let me know if you’re interested. As I said before we’d love to have you aboard! I can get you up and blogging right away.
Suggestions are welcome.
