Needless to say last nights Capitals game was a big game because the winner would move into eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings. Despite a solid game from Alexander Semin who scored two goals and Alexander Ovechkin who added two assists for Washington, the Caps gave up two early goals in the first nine minutes. The caps goalie Olaf Kolzig blamed the loss on his performance, and later was quoted, "The team played terrific. The goalie let them down. I just didn't make the saves I needed to make and that basically was the difference."
