Caps Implode in Florida

There is not one good thing I can say about the Caps lackluster effort against the Florida Panthers on Saturday which resulted in an utterly disgusting 7-3 loss. The Caps can play better than that, but they didn't show up in Florida. I would also like to know why in the hell Olie started in goal for his 10th game in a row. He needs to be rested now and then.

Thankfully, Brent Johnson is starting in goal in Ottawa tonight and I hope he has a good night. The Senators are hot right now and the Caps are still figuring out if they really want to contend for the playoffs this year. Maybe Saturday's debacle will light a fire under them. In other news, Tarik El-Bashir reports in his blog here that Donald Brashear moves up tonight to the second line with Semin. Interesting, Brashear has been playing good hockey and making some gorgeous passes and it might be nice if those passes went to Semin. We'll see.

Let's go Caps!
