They did it and they did it with style. After killing a 5 minute penalty only 51 seconds into the game, the Caps hammered the New York Rangers 7-2 at MCI Center yesterday to go five points clear at the top of the southeast division. They face the St. Louis Blues at home tomorrow night.
Of course, the only thing on everybody's mind yesterday (well, in America at least) was the big game in San Diego, California - the Super Bowl. It looks like it was pretty much a one sided affair, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers routing the Oakland Raiders 48-21 for their first ever championship!
