Alan, the Tampa game on Wednesday night was one of those great games that people have been buzzing about for days afterwards.

The Caps didn't even get a win, and people still were talking about how great a hockey game that was.

Tampa Bay, all about the skill, all about speed, all about wanting to score goals.

Minnesota Wilde, all about not scoring goals and how they got a scratch and claw in play some real ugly

defensive hockey got themselves a win tonight yeah this this game was the direct opposite of that

tampa game it was tough to watch and the result not good is the caps fall two to one i'm rob carlin

the capitals talk podcast starts now.

Donato on a takeback.

Closing in, cut and fires.

And he ruse the rister.

The Capitol's got burnt on the Minnesota trap right in front of Alan May.

And one miss pass when they're backing up with five men, it's transition the other way, and that is a dart to the top shelf.

You can tell early on, Alan, we got here for the Tampa game Wednesday.

Place was packed.

There was a buzz in the arena.

The standing room only was crowded.

I haven't seen standing room only all season since like the first week. This was everything that

that game wasn't. I mean, there was no buzz in the arena. You could tell early that the Caps just

didn't have it and then Minnesota sucked the life out. I think more people were watching their

NCAA brackets go down to flames today. But you know, Wild, there's nothing exciting about watching their team play.

And the way they have to play right now, they have a lot of players that people don't know their names.

And take Parize and stall out of the forwards.
