Despite one of their worst starts of the season, the Washington Capitals have beat the Boston Bruins again. Somehow.
The Caps just weren’t ready for puck drop. Before 140 seconds had passed, Boston was up 2-0 with goals by David Backes and Noel Acciari. Washington looked in deep trouble until Lars Eller struck in the second, followed 90 seconds later by an Ovi Shot from the Ovi Spot™. David Backes got his second goal of the night to put the Bruins ahead in the third, but Brett Connolly and Tom Wilson re-tied it with tremendous effort in and around the paint. Overtime refused to give us a decision, so here come…
Shootout bullets!
Caps beat the Bruins 4-3 in the shootout.
New Caps lines:
Ovechkin-Backstrom-DSP
Vrana-Kuznetsov-Oshie
Connolly-Eller-Wilson
Chiasson-Beagle-Burakovsky(I haven't actually seen that fourth line yet, but using the process of elimination here)

THERE IS A GUY IN THE SECTION DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE PRESS BOX AND HE KEEPS SCREAMING "DILLY DILLY" FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER AND I'M SO FED UP.

Well, the three-game losing streak is over, and the Caps showed some life in the back half. I’ll take it! Have a great night. If I don’t see you again in Twenty Semin-teen, I hope you have a great Twenty Nate-teen.
