Capitals player's dogs destroy house

Found May 03, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Karl Alzner
TEAMS: Washington Capitals

Via Larry Brown Sports:

Those of us who have dogs can totally understand what Karl Alzner was feeling on Wednesday night when he returned home to find that his dogs had gone on a destructive rampage. Do we know what it feels like to lose a triple-overtime game in the Stanley Cup Playoffs? No, but we certainly can relate to coming home after a terrible day at work to find that our dog(s) must have been sniffing glue or something and decided to go hog wild on our living room.

On the bright side, at least someone was having fun while the Capitals were in the process of falling into a 2-1 series hole against the Rangers. From the look of it, the dogs managed to get their paws on some magazine pages, a slipper, some newspapers, and they even got some chewing action in on that red bag sitting on the chair. Karl may have had a night to forget, but his dogs will remember this one forever.

Poor guy. After Karl Alzner of the New York Rangers had just played in a marathon game against the Washington Capitals and lost in the 3rd overtime, all he wanted to do was go home and fall asleep. To his surprise though, he returned home to find his dogs had terrorized his house. Kind of cute, kind of sad, and kind of funny.   H/T Hot Clicks Article found on: Cosby Sweaters

Ovechkin needs to lead from the front

Via Turner Sports Desk  |  May 02, 2012
Lost in all the talk about Capitals star winger Alexander Ovechkin's diminished ice time is the fact that the 3rd and 4th lines are shutting down the opponent's top lines while scoring critical goals themselves. While this is terrific news, the Caps need their Captain and best player to lead from the front.Thus far Ovechkin has said all the media friendly things like "...

A lot of time has been spent in D.C.

Down a game to the New [...]

The Capitals defeated the Boston Bruins in seven games in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals with every one of the seven games being won by a single goal and four of them requiring overtime.  Why would you expect the conference semifinals to be any different?  The answer is that you wouldn’t, and — so far — these games haven’t been.
