Everyone suddenly remembers the Caps were playing in a playoff series, against the Rangers no less, so if you thought it wasn't going 7, you should feel shame.

Terrible call. I wouldn't have cried over it if it had caused OT though, as in a vacuum, I think the waved off goal for Ward in Game 5 should have counted. Still, that bad of a DOG call in that important of a situation is why they're going to let coaches challenge some calls in the future. In...

Just too many mistakes in D zone, Niskanen and Alzner were fucking terrible tonight.

This is why delay of game is stupid, and there should be instant replay for stuff like this. Bad call.

It's never over.

Man this almost could have been a lot worse for Hagelin, skate comes REALLY close to his face/neck. https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CEr5indWIAAHU17.mp4

Welp, first time getting 3rd PP in a game since Game 6 against the Isles. I just don't like that they seem to be reffing this game differently from the rest of the series Stoic. I still have no idea what McDonough did to give us our first PP back in the 1st.

Well, NBC never showed another replay of it, which isn't surprising in the slightest. Everyone on Caps blogs noticed it right away. Bura had the puck, it was a little reckless by Kreider. I do think he was actually trying to land a hit with his shoulder too, which is a good thing.

Again though, it's not like they're giving the Caps PP many chances, we haven't had the PP advantage (or even more than 2 PP's in a game) since Game 6 of the Isles series.

There have, there was plenty of interference in that first period they missed, Ward took a bad slash about a minute before they called Ovechkin for a slash too. I'm fine with the rest of the calls, kneeing just isn't something to mess with. Burakovsky looked legit hurt for a shift or two after...

I will say that it at least looks like he was trying to make contact with the upper body too.

Hilarious Rangers get the first PP after the shit they have let go already. Kreider's knee on knee to Burakovsky most of all.

Not sure if I did it right, but this looks like Minnesota for the 4 games against Chicago.

Caps have gotten some key goals from 3rd line in this series, but really...the top line could use a little more help than this overall.

It's funny how quickly the pressure shifts to the team with the lead. I know damn well I don't want the Caps to blow this chance tonight and be going back to MSG for Game 7 having lost multiple games in a row for the first time in the playoffs and with the Rags having all the momentum.

Nah, Rangers were bound to get a couple bounces eventually. Both goals deflect in off our own D men? It happens. 3 of 7 goals Holtby has allowed in this series have gone off a Cap on their way to the net. We haven't lost back to back games yet in the playoffs, with 2 more chances I feel...

Great game. Gleason with the deflection past his own goalie. Oh well. Win Sunday.

Not much turtling. Rags have sold out and blocked a ton of shots tonight. Even strength numbers are extremely even. Wouldn't be the Caps without at least one OT game. I'm not even stressed. I think we got this.

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...
