Bring on the Caps and another loss. The beer makes it all better.

I'm not so sure this is a slam-dunk loss to be honest. The Caps have been pretty damn woeful themselves recently and Semin is questionable.

My prediction is 5-2 Sens.

I forgot about the game, actually.

Go Sens, woo-hoo and such.

Turned it on just in time to see Fisher's celebration.

Good shift by Lee.

Sens look decent so far. Any bets on whether or not they can continue playing well for 60 mins?

Great shift by Locke. He definitely has goal scorers instincts. Good to see.

Doesn't look like a team that's given up on his coach. GOod to see.

Michalek and Fisher both look great too. So far, this a great game to watch.

Also, is it me or all the Caps games are on Snet-Ott?

Are the Caps playing poorly or are the Sens getting it together? Or is a little bit of both?
