Caps-Canadiens: Game 5

Got to Verizon Center very early and had a front row seat during warm ups. Those guys skate fast and I was scrambling around trying to get some shots of Defenseman John Carlson, a rising star and Alex Ovechkin, Benjamin's favorite player. Enjoy!

Nothing like the Good Ol' Hockey Game

More pressure by the Caps.


Tough loss for the Caps tonight. They still lead the best of seven series, three games to two with game six in Montreal Monday night. Yep, three days of agony awaits. I was telling my friend Paul I hope I don't see him Wednesday night for a game seven. I think the Caps get it together and wrap it up in Montreal. Believe and Let's go Caps!
