Caps sweep Pens in season series

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 4/7/10
The Washington Capitals have sweept the pittsburgh penguins in the regular season with a 6-3 win last night. A big factor in this series(other than ovechkin) has been Mike Knuble. He has scored in all 4 games against pittsburgh this season. As for Ovi, he scored 7 goals in the series! But for the pens, who have also been swept by their rival New Jersey, it doesn't seem to affect them. They have gone 0-8 against those teams, yet still have their mind set on the playoffs. Also the goal scoring title (or the rocket richard trophy) is heating up. With 2 games left, it is between 3 players: Alex Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, and Steven Stamkos. Alex and Sid both have 48, and Stamkos has 47. If you don't know, Stamkos is an early prospect in Tampa Bay, and has a great shot. I hope Ovi wins. Crosby doesn't deserve it. The reason those 2 are close is because Alex was injured for 10 games, and suspended for 5. So, it would'nt be right for Crosby to win, who hasn't missed a game this season. The Caps will face 2 pretty bad defensive teams in Boston and Atlanta, so Ovi should hve an edge. Good luck Alex!
See Ya!
