Red Wings 4 Capitals 3 (SO)

Around 4:30 yesterday, my buddy Tim gives me a call and lets me know he has a free lower bowl ticket to the game. Hours later, I get to see one of the best regular season games I've seen in a while in person.
Watching Ovechkin up close is a treat, despite my comments over the last few months about his ridiculous goal celebrations (which I also got to see up close and personal). However, there was a one-on-one play in the first where Zetterberg put on a beautiful move and skated right around him entering the Caps' zone.
The game was intense and fast. Washington kept up with the Wings in speed and shots on goal. I gotta give it to Hasek, he played great and made some huge saves, especially in the third. He needs a few more games like that to get off my shit list.
