At this point both teams should just decline any PP's. Ugly. Erskine is still a moron.

Biggest loss on that play could be Erat landing right on his wrist. If it's broken we better hope Brooks Laich heals up quick.

Wow. This call on Ovechkin is hilarious. Holtby was a complete idiot on that goal. Erat hurt as well.

John Erskine continues to be terrible at getting the puck out of our end or moving it with any speed whatsoever. Rags pinning us in our own end far too much this period.

Well when going up 2-0 in a series we have never won Game 3, and that held true. But I hear you, it does sort of make sense in a way that if you go up 2-0 and get a split in next 2 to go up 3-1, you should win (although the Caps have blown 3-1 series leads in the past that weren't from a 2-0...

Tonight's game could be make or break for the Caps. Pretty sure this stat is right, but of all the times the Caps have led a series 2-0, they've never won Game 3, and if they have lost Game 4 to leave the series tied at 2-2, they have always lost the series.

Yep.

That's just scary. Vokoun has to be in for Game 5...after all the moves they made at the deadline (or just before it) they can't afford to have Fleury drown them in the 1st round.

Whatever happens in our series, hopefully no hard feelings, all 3 series the last couple years have been some exciting hockey. Grimm...Fleury is making people forget about '09 at this point. I almost feel bad for the guy. Almost.

Only way it would be better is if they take the next two somehow from the Pens and have a chance to pull off the upset when you're there.

Probably the worst goalie contract ever. Although Bryz is trying to take the title.

Hey we could still blow it, as I said we're 2-4 in series we've lead 2-0 since '87 (around then). Although I think we've proven we can be a better team than just "the best of the shitty Southeast". Tomorrow night's game will be huge. Our team isn't generally known for handling adversity all...

Araysar is still trying to figure out how we even won a game against a non Southeast team.

Not like we didn't see the same sell job from the Oleksy elbow call last night. Right call, he caught him, but no need to go down like he had been shot. I don't like the embellishing, but I also don't mind the fact he got right back up and stayed with the play on the high stick call. We...

And just for another funny hockey gift.

Please Grimm, a person's head is going to flinch back if the stick comes up that high. That pic I posted makes it pretty clear it at least came up to his neck, it wasn't like he acted like he had been sliced open. Flinched back, went down, got right back up and kept skating with the puck...

Kings flicked the switch in the 3rd didn't they?

On second look, maybe the stick did catch him.

I don't blame them for our loss tonight, hell they gifted us a chance to get even in the last 2 minutes and we did nothing with it. Detroit still looks like they're more likely to score here and tie this series up.

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...
