I'm Cold as Fire, Baby, Hot as Ice

Ok, so I'm updating this bisquit...

Currently I'm obsessed with the Caps. My dad and I have always watched the Caps for as long as I can remember. We never went to games, though. We did go to an occasional Baltimore Skipjack game back in the day, but never to an NHL one. My dad finally scored some free tickets for opening night 2005 at the phone booth - right behind the goal, I might add. The NHL was coming off of a strike, and professional hockey was back. And Alexander "The Gr8" Ovechkin was making his debut.

What a game? Alex scored 2 goals in his NHL debut and is now considered one of, if not the best player in the NHL. But enough about that. Let's talk about the present day Caps. This season started out bad. It was looking like this team was going nowhere again. Ted Leonis fires Glen Hanlon (Thank God!!) and brings in Bruce Boudreau, and all was right in Caps world again! The Caps went on freakin tear, and now we're two points out of the lead in the Southeast division, behind the Carolina Hurricanes, who it just so happens has lost their best player, Rod Brind'Amour for the rest of the season.

Ah yes, things are finally looking up in Caps World! They just finished a brutal road test, where they only came away with 3 points, but seriously, they're 2 points out of first, so it's not a bad thing.

Now the Caps get the next few at home, and we fans cross our fingers and hope that Carolina, Florida, Tampa Bay and Atlanta start losing, and the Caps start winning. If the Caps can make a playoff run, I think they can go far. When you have arguably the best player in the league in Ovechkin, coupled with a hot goalie like Ollie and a defenseman like Mike Green that is leading all defensemen in goals scored you are bound to have something good happen. I'm not saying Stanley Cup this year, but I feel it won't be long before the Caps finally get their paws on the coveted trophy.

And since I'm a girl, I feel the need to comment on the hotness of our team. Example number 1:

That would be Brooks Laich and Mike Green. I'm seriously love both of them. Two cuties!! Ok I'm done with my girlyness...carry on.
