You feel the stick come up like that you're going to flinch whether it hits you or not. It's not like he stopped playing got back up and kept skating. Probably on par with Sid's embellishment in OT yesterday. Credit the Rags, they had to get a win tonight and they came out and did it. We...

Wow...that might have hit him up near the neck, but I never saw it hit his face at all. A little embellishing there Ovechkin. I'd feel worse about it if PP's weren't 6-2 before this.

Erskine is so terrible. No idea how he's skating in our top 4 on the back end.

As Nash hurts himself getting only the boards trying to hit Green...brilliant. Stay out of the penalty box so we can see how this game turns out without letting their PP have 6 minutes of ice a period please Caps.

For example Grimm...I believe the stat for the Caps having a 2-0 lead in a series is it's happened 6 times since '87 or so, and we're 2-4 in those series overall.

We have enough bad history to make us remember. Oh yeah, there is one other guy that can score for us, the guy who should have won the Norris in back to back years before Karlsson made being an offensive defenseman cool.

Hasn't mattered, I wish Ovechkin had Sid's linemates, he'd have ~5 assists in the series already. How does Ribeiro not fire that puck top shelf. Ovechkin just needs to start firing, cause no one else is finishing these chances we're generating.

Feels like '09 against the Pens...up 2-0 headed on the road, Pens had something like 6 straight PP's in that Game 3 too. We're definitely being undisciplined enough to give them the excuse to call a ton as well.

We'll keep giving them to you tonight.

We'll probably have to hear more about how the refs have sucked since they only have a 3 to 1 PP advantage. Ward and his damn high sticks against the Rangers in the playoffs.

Backstrom comes to play. Big for us to score early to try to take the crowd out of it. I like our play so far up until that shitty PP.

To say nothing of his numbers last year in 14 games...or his career numbers to date. Now a lot of young goalies start out hot, but he's starting to get to that range when we'll see what their true level might be projected out over their career. Here's hoping he keeps it going.

We both know this only too well. Fucking Halak.

I love how so many people covering the Rangers or Rangers bloggers continue to belittle Holtby. I completely understand the narrative that the Rangers have what would seem to be an edge in goaltending based on Lundy's career, but to act like the gap is as big as they are is hilarious. Strang...

I didn't get to watch the entire Pens/Isles game, I missed that one Grimm. Also heard about a supposed Letang head shot too but haven't seen video for either.

The Tyrion/Cersei scene was important because it will make it obvious why Cersei is so convinced it is Tyrion who poisons Joffery as retaliation for trying to have him killed at Blackwater. I think a lot of people who have been watching the full show at this point will always be actively...

No suspensions out of the Ottawa/Montreal shitshow last night. Not sure how Bourque doesn't get suspended for a blatant elbow to the head. This is essentially the same play that put Nick Backstrom out for 40 games last year with a concussion. Glad Conacher was okay.

Man I bet the Canucks are second guessing not sticking with Luongo now. I picked the Sharks in this series but I didn't expect this. Throwing down the gauntlet to the Caps forcing them to try to go up 3-0 too.

Blues/Kings has been some of the best hockey I've watched in the playoffs. Tonight was the first game of Ottawa/Montreal I really saw, haven't seen any of Boston/Toronto either but the rest I've been keeping up on. I think Blues/Kings could go 7 with a couple more OT games and all of them...

It'll make that series a powder keg going forward...although Montreal has to realize right now after the way tonight went and with Game 4 in Ottawa they're on thin ice from losing complete control of the series.

Very understated but awesome episode. The comparison of "the climb" as Littlefinger puts it to John Snow and company climbing the Wall was a nice touch (also the title of the episode). Every time they put Littlefinger and Varys in a room together I feel like we're watching the only 2 real...

Agreed. I was shocked Milbury sounded so...right.

Not sure if anyone else posted already, but Abdelkader got 2 games for the hit.

Great game to go to I'm sure

Les is awesome this is great news.

Pretty sure they out shot Chicago and carried play for good parts of the game. They deserved the win, can't blame them for trying to turtle once it got late and they had the lead I guess, even if it didn't work. Just gotta hold serve at home in Game 4 too and it becomes a best of 3. Not that...

Overtime playoff hockey especially. I could understand if they gave Crosby a 2 for embellishing it a little too, although I wouldn't want a 4 on 4 just to do it in an overtime game either. In the regular season I have zero issues with that being a penalty, I do think it was a bit soft in OT of...

Soft call to end such a great game. Nice goal to win the game though, sucks for the Isles, but I think you have a fight on your hands Grimm. Still expect Pitt to win in 6, but Isles will put up a fight at least.

Not sure how they just let Sid get behind them like that, great pass though.

Just like that, back to reality.

Sid tries Ovechkin's old move chipping it to the middle, Nabby barely gets a piece of it, Isles go the other way and make it 2-0. This is nuts...reality has to come back at some point right?

Grabner's good for one breakaway a game against us, kid is fast as fuck.

Sorry Grimm, but it's pure gold. Wasted a BIG chance to go up 2-0 there. Fans serenading Fleury already.

The fact he left his feet pretty much guarantees he'll get a suspension in my mind...but I'm sort of with you on who knows anymore really.

Kings get back into their series. Pretty much had to win that one.

Had to run out to a party right after I got home from Caps game, can't believe the ~7pm games...didn't expect that from Toronto, or for the Ducks to be as dominant in Detroit.

I felt like they let them play quite a bit, which was better than Game 1, just inconsistent, which is also bad. If they leave it like this for the rest of the series I'd be...better with that than Game 1's style of officiating. The rumor I heard (was at the game) was that Alzner's thing was...

Sharks tie it late! Had to have an OT game tonight

Isles pull it off. Wow. They played pretty well tonight too, we might have a decent series. Looks like Habs going to even up their series too.

Nice, I'll be at Game 2 tomorrow at Verizon.
