One of the things I miss the most about Washington, D.C. is hockey. No, the Washington Capitals aren't the end-all-be-all of hockey, but they are getting better and better with time. And this year, especially closing in on the playoffs, they are making no exception. Plus, they are MY team… I root them on, no matter what.
In last night's game, Ovechkin closed in on his aim of 60 goals this season to make a new NHL record, taking 52 goals so far this season, and a hat trick in the first period, alone. The Caps took out the Bruins 10-2, at home at the Verizon Center.
It is a game that I would've loved to see in person. Thank God that Versus picks up the Caps usually… and probably only because of Alex Ovechkin. No matter… I'll take what I can get. Hockey in Alabama is limited to the television.
