The Buffalo forwards are down with the sickness. Order up metric ton Rx of trimox and penicillen. Melt down their composite sticks. sterilize the room with Lysol to kill the germs and bacteria that have created this funk.

Ryan Miller was Ryan Miller in Washington, and he lived up to his advanced billing. Unfortunately, his forwards were punked again. 25 shots, zero goals. Alex Oveckin gave Buffalo a get out of jail free card early in the third period when he railed Pat Kaleta from behind. Great opportunity to seize the day, right? Wrong again.

2-0 Caps.

Now would be a good time to mash the panic button.

Jason Pominville 4 shots and minus 1 in 19:55.
Derek Roy 3 shots and minus 1 in 20:13.
Thomas Vanek 1 shot in 18:12.
Clarke MacArthur 3 shots in 15:56.
Drew Stafford 3 shots in 15:40.
Mike Grier 3 shots in 15:15.
Tim Connolly 1 shot in 14:53.

Time to grab the forwards by the scruff of their neck and get their immediate attention. I'm recommending that Lindy bench one of his prime offenders, either Roy or Vanek, and recall Ennis and/or Gerbe from Portland.
