Good news for Caps fans came last night with Pittsburg topping Philadelphia 4-2 and New Jersey beating Boston in overtime. Boston earned a point for the O.T. period tie but New Jersey got the extra point by winning the shootout. Washington is still 2 points behind the Boston Bruins and only a point behind the Flyers with two games remaining on the Caps regular season. Boston and Philadelphia both have two games reamaining in their season. The most points Washington can earn is 94 points and the max for the Bruins and Flyers are 96 and 95 point respectively.
To secure an at large bid Washington must win at least one game with New Jersey lossing out or they can win out and have the Flyers win only one game or have OT ties. With Boston getting a point from making it through the 4 on 4 O.T. period, Washington's best bet with overtaking the Bruins is to win out coupled with losses from Boston.
The Carolina Hurricanes bounced back against Tampa Bay 6-2 after a critical loss to the Capitals. Washington would win the division by winning out and a Hurricane loss to Tampa Bay Friday night. The Capitals are in action tonight against Tampa Bay, the last place team in the Eastern Conference who they beat one week ago 4-3 at 7:00 on Comcast Sports.

Do your best dude. It is appreciated. Don't be swayed by the petty ramblings of peepeeing Calvins who have to take a whole week to prepare to drive around circles to the left each weekend.
