First game against the Caps: Spezza was out, Zibby was first star in a 3-2 win (Anderson was 3rd star). Washington had a 2-0 lead before JOB (2nd period) and Michalek (early 3rd) tied it up. Winner was ... are you ready for this ... PP goal by Gonchar, from Karlsson and Alfie.

Second game: Cowen and Anderson were back. Sens doubled up the Caps 38-19 and won 3-1 with an empty-netter to seal it.

We all remember the last game.

Lack of scoring punch aside, we outplayed them all season, with the exception of the first period of the first game. We are their Boston.

Alzner on Zib was nothing compared to the shot on Silfverberg. I did a little bit of that getting out of SBP after the last Leafs game.

Green's slewfoot on (Turris?) was pretty bad as well.

I don't know if the Capitals game plan was to be physical and try and bait us into penalties or we've frustrated them so much this year that they lost it.

I think Ribeiro punched Turris thinking that nothing will be called on him and that Turris would retaliate and then the refs would give us a penalty.

Or maybe Turris pissed him off saying Ribeiro looks like a meth dealer.

I hope the Sens meet the Caps in the playoffs and they set the tone early. A few bone-crunchers on their skilled guys might send a message. I also wouldn't mind if Kassian handed Erskine his face (a la Carkner/Boyle) in the first game of the series. Want to f*ck around? Here's your face.

You think Kassian will see the ice in the playoffs?

More likely than Jimmy O'Brien.
