Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals just lost, and got eliminated from the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs, after an amazing comeback from trailing 3 games to 1.

I was lucky enough to be there for the beginning of the comeback. I was cheering like crazy as the Caps won game 5 and 6 and bringing the tally to 3 - 3. It was ‘do or die’, and the Caps gave it all they had.

Game 7 had me on the edge of the seat (in front of the TV at home). Hell of a game! Hats off to the team for a great effort. The Caps deserved to win and advance to the next round.

I think Ted Leonsis’ face, and the face of all the players, after the goal in the overtime sudden death says it all.

Cristobal Huet played a hell of a game - that was a great stop, but the rebound was knocked in by Joffrey Lupul. Way to fight till the end.

The Caps are eliminated, and the Philadelpia Flyers continue to Round 2 against the Montreal Canadiens

Can’t wait for next season. LET’S GO CAPS!!!!

- Stumble it!
