Red White, Blue, and HOT!!!!

After 5 years of languishing in the basement of the NHL, my Washington Caps are Southeast Division Champs! 65 Goal Scorer and probable MVP Alex Ovechkin, super rookie Nicklas Backstom, Super Soph Alex Semin and the rest of the Caps, lead by coach Bruce Beudreau, open up the playoffs next week against the Philadelphia Flyers. The teams split the season series 2 games apiece, and this is their first playoff meeting since 1989, when Philly upset the Caps in 6. It's a safe bet that Christobal Huet, who went 11-2 after arriving in a trade will get the start in goal, over longtime starter Olie Kolzig. I predict that the Caps will prevail in 5. Hopefully, after knocking off the Flyers, the Caps wont have to set foot in the state of Pennsylvania until next season. The Pittsburgh Penguins are also in the playoffs, and every true Caps fans know that everytime they play the Pens in the playoffs, something weird happens, and the Caps blow a 2 game lead in the series.
