Times<\/i><br \/><strong>WASHINGTON D.C. &mdash; <\/strong>Sunday evening, my brother and I were treated to the Washington Capitals vs. Columbus Blue Jackets game by my father. Dad had not yet seen <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Alex Ovechkin<\/span> play in person and unfortunately, he did not see much of him Sunday evening. Ovechkin got an upper body injury, likely in a scrum with the opposition. I guess the Blue Jackets motto is &#8220;if you can&#8217;t beat him, <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">beat<\/span> him.&#8221; I suppose it worked for them as they beat Washington in overtime 5-4. <\/p>\n<p>Frankly, the Caps did not play that well, especially in the first period when they were lucky to get a 1-0 lead on a sweet <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Nicklas B\u00e4ckstr\u00f6m<\/span> goal off of a couple of bang-bang passes. Nevertheless, a dull second period was followed by an exciting third period that saw <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Brooks Laich<\/span> pick up two goals and <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Quinten Laing<\/span> get his first goal of the season. It was not enough though as the Blue Jackets kept scoring.<\/p>\n<p>With Ovechkin gone for a while, the Caps have an opportunity to grow as a team and start playing 60 minutes, a major shortcoming thus far this season. Given that they are second in the conference in points, we can look forward to what a more focused team can do going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ovechkin is listed as week to week &#8211; The PostOvechkin week-to-week with upper-body strain &#8211; The Wash.
