Caps pull through

I hit my first game of the year on Saturday and the Caps almost gave away another win. I got tickets through some scalper guy who has multiple tickets to games for multiple sports. I found him on Craigslist while looking for Widespread/Allman Brothers tickets. I got two club level seats for Teri and I at $75 each which is a great deal. I dig the club level with its plush carpet and shorter beer and bathroom lines.

The Caps started the season off well in preseason and their first couple games. Then they lost four times usually giving up an early lead. On Thursday they kicked some butt against the Sharks. And they started off Saturday’s game well being up 2-0 after the first period. It was usually territory though and their defense was yet to be trusted. The Predators came back with two goals of their own. The five minute overtime failed to produce a winner so they went to the shootout. Ovie, who had the first two goals, got one past the goalie and the Caps walked away with a win. It was drama but they came through.
