Seriously?!?! The Dallas Stars?!?!

Out of all the teams that could have possibly beat the Capitals at home, the Dallas Stars were finally the team to end their 13-game winning streak. The Dallas Stars! The team who just got reamed by the Penguins a few days ago! Unacceptable! I'm still trying to wrap my head around how this could happen. The Capitals went into the 3rd period up 2-0 and within 8 minutes were down 3-2. The Capitals outshot them, they played more aggressively...How did they lose??? Arguably the best team in the NHL right now letting a team that isn't even in a playoff spot beat them! All seemed to fall into place when Ovechkin (of course) tied the game, but the Capitals were shutout in the shootout...& that was all she wrote. Maybe the Caps needed a loss at home to come back down to earth.

Carolina will be the next team to take the Reds on their home ice on Wednesday night. Hopefully they'll come back with a win...even though one of my Staal boys is the captain for the Hurricanes. So I'll be cheering for the Capitals...& Eric Staal :).
