Magic number: 1

Boring game but the Caps deserved it. The Caps (and the Devils themselves) gave the Devils nothing all night and Wedgewood got bailed out a whole bunch

 

[vippe]

Win is a win. Hasnt looked pretty for some time but still grinding those wins. I like that.

 

[artilector]

Equally satisfied by the win and the fact that this game is over...

 

[foundhockey]

Cool that it was #74.

 

[hockeykicker]

basically at the same time

excellent.

Welcome back, Carly.

And OV looked old/slow all game. Nothing more than a decoy out there. Must be hurt, or 10 years of his physical game catching up to him?

basically at the same time

simultaneous craziness going on with the Wiz in OT

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Hell of a game Caps fans. Hell of a game. Best of luck in the post-season.

Thank you. The Devils stay true to their identity. This defense is going to be a nightmare for other teams in two or three years.

What about a Holtby shutout for win #45 though?

 

[maybam]

Lost in all of that is the Holtby SO

 

[hockeykicker]

2 things that stand out. 22 shots against and 62% on the draws

 

[MackenKracken]

First goal!

 

[AtNightWeFly]

...and now I'm exhausted. Friggin' Devils!

P.S. Isn't this the same Wedgewood that Kuz scored a hat trick on at the WJC when he played with Yak?

 

[Marcin35*]

why they didnt score this ****ing goal in regulation. NBA points awarding system should be changed for european one. win in regulation 3 points ,win in OT/SO 2 points.in such a system teams are genuinly trying to win game in regulation to get more points and in this NBA system teams like caps tonight don't care if they win in regulation or Ot.so or so they will get 2 points.

I don't think he's trying. He was only really going for about 30ish games this season IMO. He was doing the same think early in the season until around mid december.

The Devils average only 24.5 shots a game and are a 46.4% faceoff team.

Caps don't care if they win or lose this game. They tried scoring in regulation, but Wedgewood and the posts got in the way. Caps are 1st in the league in regulation wins, so take your complaints elsewhere.

These are good games to win. This is what the playoffs will be like.

Yes, Kuzy had a hat trick against him in the 2012 WJC. You have a good memory.

How close is he to NHL ready?

 

[hockeykicker]
