Caps-Sens Games

Last night we went to watch the Senators play the Capitals in the final "Capital Cup" game. To this point in the season each team had won two games so this was to be a tie-breaker. Myself and Tika and two of her friends, Paula and Lisa went. You can tell from the picture who Paula was cheering for. Lisa had never been to a hockey game before but she showed her colours as later in the second period she exclaimed "No" as Washington made a good play on the puck.

The game started out really slow - both teams were playing sloppy but Ottawa took advantage of that and went up 3-1 by the end of the first so the scoreboard at the start of the second was something 3 of us liked. The Caps showed up to play half way through the second and tied the game at 3. The third got interesting when the Caps opened the scoring at the start of the third. Ottawa responded five minutes later and 15 minutes from that we are in overtime. Ottawa kept up the pressure and with 19 seconds left in overtime Kovalev scored giving Ottawa the win and the Capital cup.

Myself and Tika were a little bit excited :-)
