Caps/Bolts recap

No recap for the Montreal game because I was in attendance, and Kate had just gotten back from Long Island and the Bruins/Isles game.

This is going to be short because I'm on suicide watch. Here's what happened.

• Sasha pisses us off, then proceeds to throw a heat seeking missile at Roloson that probably would have decapitated him if he stopped it. We all rejoice.

• Fucking Teddy Purcell. FUCKING TAMPA POWER PLAY. WHY CAN'T WE HOLD A LEAD.

• 25 SECONDS APART. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. CAN'T HANDLE IT.

• Chimmer scores, we all scream and cry and the world suddenly seems brighter.

• Fucking Steven Stamkos. ONE MINUTE LEFT, HE SCORES WITH ONE MINUTE LEFT. AFTER WE HELD HIM OFF ALL GAME.

• If that's not enough, he scores an empty netter and gets two. like I said, FUCKING. STEVEN. STAMKOS. We all look like this:

• Immediate post game reaction:

• Reaction after stabbing our eyes out, directed at everyone and everything.

• once the anger fades, its followed by depression.

• you at 2 am when you can't sleep because Washington Capitals:

It hurts. It hurts A LOT. But, we can't be out of the running until saturday. Take the night to panic, collect yourselves, do something to relieve the stress, and get ready for thursday. Its a routine we're all familiar with at this point.

All in favor of severing Florida off of our country and sending them floating out to sea raise your hand. But before that, who's up for a road trip to hunt down Steven Stamkos and wipe out Sunshine while we're at it?

EDIT: So my fellow Caps fans reminded me of a point I forgot here. We've got a shot at the playoffs, Tampa doesn't. In other words, enjoy golfing Stamkos, your 58 goals will be meaningless in about a week!
