Game 61- Penguins @ Washington Capitals

There's no buts about it: we all know that Washington has a fantastic team.
Though we know AO's a douche, he's got something like 42 goals on the year and is currently third in the NHL in scoring right behind Geno and Sid. Tool of the team Alex Semin: well, he's not as talented so there doesn't have to be any respect there. Besides the fact that he insulted our captain by calling Sid an "average" player, basically saying that Sid's all hype. Nice try, Semin: Sid has about 30 more points than you. Defenseman Mike Green has broken the record for longest goal streak by a defenseman by scoring a goal in 8 secutive games. Since setting that record three games ago, he has recorded one point, an assist and a -1.
The Caps are coming off an embarrassing 1-4 loss to Colarado Friday.
The Pens are coming off an extraordinary 5-4 win against Philadelphia yesterday.
The Caps are without Brian Pothier, Brett Johnson, Chris Clark and Viktor Kozlov.
The Pens are still without Mike Zigomanis and Philippe Boucher (both out indefinately recovering from surgery). Kris Letang and Billy Thomas are the healthy scratches again for the Penguins.
