Please, feel bad for me, I'm a Capitals fan. The Caps had huge expectations going into the playoffs this year and while the playoffs are far from over, the Caps sure didn't help themselves by losing 4-3 at home in their first game against the Rangers. Losing the first game means game 2 becomes a must win because they certainly don't want to go to New York down 2-0 in the series. Theodore was bad, the defense was bad and quite frankly I feel this Caps team will be lucky if they get out of the first round alive. Theodore MUST be at the top of his game because anyone familiar with the Caps knows their defense is horrible. Ovechkin showed up, as did Semin, but the playoffs require everyone showing up and playing at the top of their game. The Caps dominated on face offs, but allowed two power play goals to a team that converted slightly over 13 percent during the regular season. The Caps haven't won a playoff series since 1998 and aren't likely to win one this year if they keep up with the lackluster play they showed tonight, so please if you know a Caps fan, send them a get well soon card, or maybe give them the number to a suicide prevention line because right now they need it. Game 2 is Saturday, so I plan on having a horrible Saturday following mass amounts of alcohol followed by bad decisions. Thanks Caps for another letdown, but hey, at least you're good at something.
