Outside the crease, gets pushed in by Stephan...who am I kidding though, Caps in an elimination game? Definitely going to have a goal waved off or go against us on a goalie interference call or no call.

This was with about 9 minutes left in 2nd period. Rest of the team needs what our top line is having regarding possession. The C+/- is Corsi, those are all positive numbers. [/url][/IMG]

As expected, Rangers coming out really hard at home, plus we've been shit in every 1st period so far really. Watching MSG fans bitch for a call every time a Ranger falls down is fun though. I'll take these perimeter shots Holtby has forever to see all day though, but eventually we gotta push...

I think you guys were more the better team in Game 3 than 4, to be honest. The 3rd line set up a cycle a couple of times last night (Burakovsky, Beagle, Brouwer). That line and the top line (minus Ward, who for some reason wasn't always on with Ovechkin and Backstrom) had positive Corsi (and...

Sorry to come off harsh Stoic, just dislike comparisons between this series and our series against the Habs in 2010. We're not getting out shot like 45-20 in these games like the Habs were then, and the idea that Holtby just suddenly got hot when after coming back from illness against the Isles...

Puck possession sure, but what kind of possession is that? When you're shooting a lot from the walls below the circles or way out on the perimeter, Holtby's going to have an easy time of it and there's going to be a lot of blocked shots. As good as Holtby has been, Lundqvist has been just as...

I mean, we out shot them 30-29 in the game. 3rd period was 9-8 Rags, although I believe it was 8-5 Caps at one point. I really wish they'd throw Ovechkin out there with Backstrom and Beagle (for faceoffs) late so we can finally get an empty net goal and not have a heart attack at the end of...

Burakovsky finally breaks through with a monster game. Reminds me of Kuznetsov in Game 5 against the Isles. That 3rd line has been nails now for 2 games. Killer B's indeed.

And Burakovsky introduces himself to the playoffs. Could have had a 2nd right after too but Lundqvist just got a piece with the shoulder. Hold on to your butts, going to be a crazy 3rd.

Nice goal by Brassard, Ovechkin looked out of gas trying to backcheck there. No idea why Niskanen was pinching so far up leaving Alzner behind.

If Price isn't great, Ottawa probably beats them in Round 1. Price hasn't been that great yet against Lightning, and the Habs are paying for it.

If anyone can blow a series lead, it's the Caps. Even if we go up 3-1, I don't feel safe.

NFL but...yeah

That's why it cracks me up reading blogs like Blueshirt Banter and reading that the Rangers have clearly been the better team for all 3 games. I'd even give them the nod last night, and the nod in all three 1st periods of the series, but Caps were better the last 50 minutes of Game 1, and made...

Probably. Get that crap at bars all around where I live. I'll admit to watching the NBA Finals occasionally, but can't get into most of the NBA season or even Round 1. Just no drama compared to NHL playoffs.

That shit was intense. I thought Alzner had sealed it for us off that great pass from Ovechkin but just off the inside of the post. Pretty fluky goal that won it, although good on Beagle for continuing to play after he Brouwer'd the original chance which was a golden one. Team D tonight was...

Sucks that Barristan is done, but he did go out like a boss. Agree the basic fighting made Unsullied look like shit, except Grey Worm who also achieved Boss Status. More Jaime and Bronn is needed.

Team that was really only the goalie being great...needs the goalie to be great?

I don't care if Yandle went 80's WWF style and bladed himself. Troy Brouwer always deserves 2 minutes. Always. Getting him off the ice even putting us down a man improved chances of us tying the game. AO needs some more help though. Backstrom after having such a hot start has 1 assist in...

12:30 game and we lost? This is my shocked face. Only saw highlights, but no surprise we had a slow start in another early game. I heard rumors about people being annoyed with the last Rags' PP, that the call was a phantom one. Considering it was Troy Brouwer, I'll just assume it was 2...

I was okay with the wave off, can't shove/push goalie's pad like that back into the net. It affects his ability to play the puck. Either way, kid went out and ended it anyways, so all's well. Big goal there to get a little mo' back for Chicago, but you know the Wild are just going to make...

Yet, here's proof that the Wild are not as over-matched as the Flames.

After watching it again, It's way more from the side and shoulder to shoulder. Boyle was unlucky to be hunched over there too. Goalies get a lot of credit for a 2-1 game, but really both teams had a lot more chances that could have been goals tonight. You guys were eating Gleason alive...

Pierre "CLEARLY FROM BEHIND"...on replay it looks shoulder to shoulder, and Dan Boyle was hunched over as much as anyone could be, already against the boards too. What a play by Ovechkin there not giving up on the puck. Ward makes up for ringing the iron when he literally had as good a chance...

Also apparently you have to be in control of your stick at all times...except when you're high sticking a goalie, then it's just tough to play in the slot.

Lundqvist straight up robbed Backstrom. Swede on Swede larceny.

Reach at #5. I know we NEED OL help but could have moved back a little for him.

Caps PPless streak against NY teams ended after 117 minutes. Then we got 2 in a row, mainly b/c Kreider missed the stick lift and so obviously dinged Glencross up high. Pretty good snipe by AO, nice move by Trotz starting the 2nd PP unit to end up with Ovechkin v. Boyle on that chance (if that...

Milbury sounds like an 80's Bears fan in his hype for Rags. Lundqvist or Roy? Lundqvist.

This is just the coolest shit. If we would only give them the necessary funding I bet we'd see so many advances it would be staggering.

For all the Game 7 heroics, Bishop still doesn't have a lot of playoff experience, and on the whole, wasn't the better goalie against Detroit. Even if none of that were an issue, he's going to be looking across the ice at Carey Price. Habs automatically get the nod in the goaltending match up...

Well, 7 out of 8 right in Round 1 (3 of them exact number of games). Anyways... East Montreal v.Tampa Bay(Tampa in 6, Habs did not want this match up, Stamkos shows up) NY Rangers v.Washington(Caps in 7, cause why the fuck not) West Chicagov. Minnesota (Blackhawks in 7, would...

Think Tampa matches up pretty well with Habs actually. My biggest question mark for Tampa (Bishop) just posted a shutout in Game 7. Could be the push they need. Have to be a homer to think Chicago can win a playoff series? Kidding right? This is the Blackhawks we're talking about. Wild...

Can't believe Tatar mishandled that pass from Helm.

Hilarious watching how they're calling this game compared to Caps/Isles the other night.

Something he has done already in this series.

No game tonight sucks btw. I thought I would like having a day of detox after suffering through Game 7 last night, but wish there was some hockey on tonight I could enjoy. Tomorrow will be fun, and Game 1 for us Thursday night.

Kronwall gets 1 game for elbow to head. Will miss Game 7 tomorrow night. I'm a little surprised since it is Game 7, but I think the hit deserved a game.

Btw, regarding facing Lundqvist.
