DMV: Sergei FTW and the Second Round
By Jamie Mottram | April 29, 2009
DMV is a daily roundup of District-Maryland-Virginia (mostly) sporting links.
Not only had the Caps been down 3-1 in this series and 1-0 in this game, but they hadn’t advanced to the second round of the postseason since ‘98, nor had any D.C. team since the Skins in ‘06. So, yes, 39-year-old Sergei Fedorov’s game-winner with five minutes left felt pretty, pretty good. [Puck Daddy]

Didn’t the Skins go to the second round after a win over the Bucs since ‘05? Or was that the same year? Either way, Boo yeah!

You’re right. That was January ‘06. For some reason I was thinking it was January ‘05. Edit made.

Great, Tebow. And I’m already depressed about the 2010 Draft.

“If that happens, I’ll wear these.”
You should certainly know better than to make seemingly preposterous wagers about Redskins draft strategy.
