Th Caps just do not have character.

Character? You mean like embellishing a high stick when it wasn't one? What passes for character in some sports....

Caps have no one to blame but themselves for their inability to win when their opponents are missing many top players. They looked pathetic last night, but they don't lack character.

Whatever it takes to win, right?

Block shots, backcheck, forecheck and skate hard every shift. Hard work and rise to the occasion, did you see that from the Caps and their captain, I didn't. That's character.

Ovie stat line - 2 shots 0 goals, 0 points,

The whole team follows him.

I'll bet you had no outrage when the Caps did it.... "Oshie sells a high stick on bonino in last years playoffs and now the roles are reversed this year. Karma?"
