Thats all right, didnt really expect not to loose another game, after all 5 straight wins really tough to do during the playoffs. Come back and win game 4 on Friday and then back to DC for Saturdays big win. Caps in 5.

Caps need to play better than that 
Varlamov's an amazing goalie.

I hope the team apologizes to Varlamov for losing that game. Once again, Varlamov made save after saved (I think he made 39 saves) compared to Fleury's 20 something. Caps were lucky to get it into overtime. Still trying to figure out how the Pens only had 2 penalities called against them?? And whats up with the refs talking to Crosby during faceoffs. Maybe he was telling Crosby when he was going to drop the puck since Crosby complained from the last game.
As the announcers said, Varlamov was the shiney penny in last nights game.

Caps have got to get more physical 
it's bad when your STAR PLAYER Ovie is hitting harder and more often than anyone else on the ice for your team!!!!!!
Hoonestly, though the series is 2-1 Caps, Pitt has owned them, just the Caps have had more lucky bounces go their way...
Plus, Crosby said it well in an interview before the game, they were going into deperation mode, and teams play a lot better in 'HOLY SHIAT' mode... Ya know...
And S.V IS A FRIGGIN STUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That boy has got game out the wahzoo
Good game, great series so far!!

I concur, they were a HUGE part in the Caps getting here, and now it's like there just not there. But, you have to give credit to Ny and Pitt for shutting them down.
Caps hockey isn't really a physical game, it's about fast breaks and finess(sp), and so far they haven't been allowed to play there game, and Pitt is showing the true color of how to slow down the Caps, be physical EVERY chance you get...

Yes you could argue that, but in the end, 42-23 shots on goal, that right there tells you enough.

I hate when people complain about the officiating, such a stupid response to a loss. The fact is that after about 10 minutes into the first period, the Penguins had the Caps on their heels for the rest of the night. When you're skating aggressively and controlling the play the way they did, you're going to draw penalties because guys on the other team stop moving their feet and get lazy. Thats what happened last night. The Caps were lucky to be in a position to steal that game, but they just couldn't get another lucky bounce. But still as a Caps fan, you have to be somewhat encouraged that even though that was by far the worst game they've played in the playoffs, they still were very close to winning that game. Get a split, end it at home.

Don't be surprised if you see "the other Alex" return the favor before this series is through.

Funny thing is the Penguins have not beat the caps in regulation all season, just twice in OT. The Capitals played like crap in game 3, but were STILL in the game and had a chance to win it, thanks to the Russian Wall.
Game 4 is huge now, we know we will get good goal tending, we just need to
play better is all, we all know the Caps can.

What about the 1 hat that I saw thrown on the rink after his hat trick?
There was actually 2 thrown on the ice for Crosby's hat trick, I was there right behind the Caps bench. GO CAPS!
