[open thread] Sabres @ Capitals
![]() |

|
The Sabres were able to bounce back from a disappointing loss against the Boston Bruins on Monday with a 5-3 victory at home against the NY Islanders. They have put at least 40 shots on goal in the past two games. The last time they were on the road was last Saturday when they beat the San Jose Sharks 7-1.
I'm not really sure about anyone else but I get really excited anytime I get to see the best players in hockey play and you have to consider Alex Ovechkin as one of the best. Ovechkin is big strong and most of all talented. He leads the Capitals in just about every category except penalty minutes and he could probably lead that category to if he wasn't so important. Ovechkin will never shy away from the physical game and he is even willing to initiate it. I'm sure Sabres fans remember his hit on Daniel Briere last season, although it was a dirty hit it proves his physicality.

That will do it...
Jochen Hecht has 11 goals on the season and his career high is 19. I think he'll beat that this year
