You had a good feeling going into today’s game. You should’ve. Don’t sweat the caps, man. Penguins were 12-1 out of the last 13 against the Caps, MAF was 6-0, Crosby has, for the most part, outshined Alexander Ovechkin in head to head meetings, and they’re the Caps for crying out loud.

It’s only fitting that the outcome of this game pretty much squashed the playoff hopes of the Capitals. What I mean by that is, The Caps DON’T make the playoffs. That’s pretty rich, but they don’t make the playoffs because one of their own players, Backstrom, shot the puck in his own net with under a minute to go. Ok, that’s pretty righteous, but it gets way better. The last Penguin to touch the puck was the Ovechkin rival, the man hated most by Capitals fans, Sidney Crosby, so he received credit for the goal. You know, Sir Sid, Sid the Kid, Bing, the greatest player in the world, or that guy those classy Caps fans like to piss on at the Verizon Center.

Besides Crosby vs. Ovechkin, this game also featured a more heated rivalry that is, Malkin vs. Ovechkin. According to some people, i.e. Pierre McGuire, a hockey media heavyweight, reported that Ovechkin punched Malkin’s agent in the face during a summer bar brawl in Russia.

Perhaps that can explain why Ovechkin’s been gunning after Malkin all season.

It doesn’t really matter what Ovechkin’s been trying to do to Malkin this year.

The Capitals are all but out of the playoffs.

Malkin will win the scoring title.

Those piss poor Caps fans all want to hang themselves, and judging from the title of this post, I am very happy.
