Every game should be easily winnable assuming they stop playing down to the competition.

[Thumper 88]

We better win every game

[blueman2424]

Well...at least they got a point.

Games where the Devils get an early goal and then there's no scoring for the next while never seem to go their way. I guess that's expected - the opponent (Ottawa in this case) just keeps chipping away till one goes in, and then all the momentum swings to their side.

We got really lucky to get a point. Ottowa squandered alot of golden chances and Marty came up big.

Our 3rd line continues to be awesome.

It looks like carter will be out a while, that will be a big hit to the 3rd line

Brief article on Carter (he says he's okay but doesn't recall too much about the hit - scary?). Scary also is the mention of Clarkson, which is probably nothing, but still...

[benzni]

can't believe this. Zub, Carter, maybe Clarkson.

Weird schedule coming up. We have Washington back-to-back then the Jets back-to-back.

[blueman2424]

Well, the good news is that though Carter will be out (good decision), Clarkson feels up to playing:

I just hope this doesn't turn into a nagging injury all season long...

[benzni]

I hope he isnt as bad a kovalchuk in the playoffs

[Thumper 88]

Kovy played good (still not Kovy like) until the cup... His back was all jacked up

[benzni]

thats what I ment. I hope his back is not like Kovy's in the playoffs

[OneTuzSea]

That was a weird win. We were the better team 5 on 5, but got outplayed on special teams.

I'll take it though!

[blueman2424]

The Capitals are one of the toughest last-place teams I've ever seen...
