Who let the dog out?


Who let the dog out?


Washington Capitals Jay Beagle (83) celebrates his goal with teammates Tyler Sloan (89), John Carlson (74) and Andrew Gordon (63) during NHL second period hockey action against the Ottawa Senators in Ottawa Monday Nov. 23, 2009.


Beagle scores third and his first in the NHL. Caps 3, Sens 1 after two periods.

Mike Fisher scores in OT, Caps 3, Sens 4.

JapersRink: Good for Mike Fisher, though. Dude could use some luck in his life.



Ovi speaks after the game. (Definitely 6'7" most interesting man is filming. :-)

“We stopped playing,” Ovechkin said. “You could see in the first two periods, we got the puck deep and took the pressure to their D and they gave us the puck and we scored goals. In the third period, we stopped doing it and you see the results.”


Ovie's stats:
1 assist, 1 penalty, total ice time 21:56, 3 shots, 3 attempts blocked, 4 missed, 2 hits, 2 giveaways, 1 takeaway

So far it has been the best game for Ovie since his return from injury. He didn't score, but he had a lot of chances. He was putting himself in situations where he normally scores. So his 'A' game is coming, he is getting better.


OTTAWA, ON - NOVEMBER 23: Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals takes a roughing penalty for this high hit on Chris Campoli #14 of the Ottawa Senators in a game at Scotiabank Place on November 23, 2009 in Ottawa, Canada. (Photo by Phillip MacCallum/Getty Images)

AP: "And, with Ovechkin in the box for roughing after a big hit on defenceman Chris Campoli, Picard wired a shot from the blue-line to tie the game."


The penalty on Ovi was a joke, roughing? Did he elbow the guy? No. Unfortunately Sens scored. One refs mistake and the game was taken away from Caps.

Capitals Insider:*Alex Ovechkin disputed his roughing call that led to the Senators' third goal. He said Chris Campoli went low as he delivered the check, giving it the appearance that he tried to crush him with a high hit.

"I think he just go low and I just hit him," Ovechkin said. "But I don't take a penalty."

Congrats to Beagle! Our Hershey call-ups have been great.

I agree with ridiculousness of the penalty call on Ovie. Lame! It, and the ensuing Sens goal, sucked out what little life remained in the Caps players.

Rest up, boys! then get prepared for a good showing on Wednesday.
