The concern here was that the Caps would experience the typical letdown after a week's worth of big wins against Philly, Detroit and Pittsburgh. The Coyotes showed up to play and their defensive style kept the game close for the duration.
A big goal-and-three-assist night for Semin who has picked up the pace during this current winning streak.
On a related note it seems that Boudreau has made some semi-permanent line decisions:
Ovechkin Backstrom Knuble
Laich Fleischmann Semin
Chimera Morrison Fehr
Gordon Steckel Bradley
Since they were playing Phoenix we got to see replays of The Goal - including an angle from the offensive end-zone that I don't recall having seen before. It really highlights the change in grip Alex makes as he's sliding along the ice in order to make the proper shooting motion as opposed to merely sweeping the puck at the net.
