The Caps had a great weekend! Nicky B. dropped his scoring drought-o-rama and Ovi has his 1oth career hat trick! Cheers all around! They held on to beat Toronto after the heart breaking loss last time when they were up 4-1. Holtby was in net and did an awesome job. Sorry kids but these two photos were just too awesome not to share.

The Penguins also won this weekend without their top two scoring machines Crosby and Malkin – miracles of miracles! It was a Staal-on-Staal-fest with Jordan coming out on top with a 3-2 win. But that wasn’t who I was watching.

On a side note, pick up this weeks edition of S.I. because once in a blue moon, they actually cover hockey! And this weekend, you guessed it, KRIS LETANG! He and I have something else in common other than being southpaws, he suffers from congenital migraines. And let me tell you, I can imagine what it’s like. He slept at the rink rather than drove home one night because he ran out of pills. It happens folks. Ask why or how he still plays with mind crushing pain? Or you feel like the dude in Scanners? When he can’t see the puck or someone about to plaster him against the boards? When you want something so bad, you just do it. You make it happen. You put it all aside. What a trooper! I hope he finds a good combination of therapy that helps him get them under control because they are a bitch!
