Big game tonight!
I'm cursing my boss for scheduling me OT tonight. Missing this game and the NFL draft.

Damn. That sucks. Is your job a type of where you could stream it on a computer or phone?

I'll be on a federal facility with escorts (giggity) so it may be frowned upon (unless they are hockey fans too)
My project manager called this morning and said the day may get shifted to tomorrow or next week. (fingers crossed)
EDIT: Work reschedule for Tuesday. No games to miss!

Started out with no sign of rust, then just left the ice for the next 40 minutes until they decided to play again. A disturbing trademark of this team the last three or four years, but they always seem to recover. They lost game 1 against both Detroit and the Rangers last year and eventually won each series 4-3. They made it close last night, even with missing at least three wide open nets in the 3rd until the empty netter with a minute left. Oh, well. Saturday should be much different.

Glad I didn't miss that game.
This really should be the conference final game. The whole 1 vs. 2 and 5 vs. 6 thing blows.
Pens came out shooting, Holtby looked good, again. Pens first line was out there for every one of Oshie's goals. Glad to see the second line stepping up a bit more, but still need more scoring (and shots) from Williams and Kuzy. Wonder if Orlov gets scratched next game, or if he drops to the 4th line.

Caps play like they did last night and this series wont last past 5 games. They looked like a high school hockey team the first 2 periods, you would think by now its been drilled into their heads to shoot the puck and stop trying for fancy passes to the other guy. Its hard to believe that Kuzy has turned so cold after the all star break. Holtby cant always be the one to save their a$$'s. Where are all our 20 goal scorers we had this year, seems only Oshie has shown up to play.

Yeah. Shots on goal were ridiculous. Orpik is most likely looking at a 1 game suspension.
Yeah but....
Even though they gave the puck away like it was radioactive, and had only 10 shots after 2 periods, they still only lost by 1. I agree they can't keep depending on Holts and the PK, but I see no reason to panic yet. Of course, lose 2 in Yinzerville and then I'll panic. I can't believe how many shots they pass up looking for the perfect play; didn't they learn anything from Chimera's 110 footer? lol. Hoping the offense comes alive tomorrow night.

Defense has been solid, but offensively they need to step it up. I think Trotz should shift some line around.
Orpik missed a few games last series and we did okay. I guess that means more play from Orlov, which I'm not exactly excited about.

Can't speak for Hank, but I feel like I'm just jinxing it.
they played great last night. 49 shots on goal.
Murray is simply playing lights out right now. Letang got a game suspension and if the Caps play like they did last night, tomorrow, I like our chances to tie the series. It'll basically be the opposite of the Flyers series.
Ovi is on the brink of a break out, IMO.

#8 hadn't scored a goal in how many consecutive playoff games until Monday? He is due to score, unless Murray continues his hot streak,. for sure.
Lightning pulled out a terrific OT win last night, coming back three times to tie the game, and crush it in OT. Let's go Lightning!

Yeah, Murray has been the series MVP. At least in the past 2 games. Hope the Caps look just as hungry tonight as they did Monday. Letang out will certainly help. He logs a ton of ice time. The prick should have had at least a 2 game suspension.

Strung Out
Read a good article on that. The NHL penalizes more for if you hurt the guy rather than the hit itself. So, same/same = different penalties if the guy you nail happens to be a little tougher.
Game 3 was hockey at it's maddening best. The Caps had, what, 50 shots on goal, a lot of them really good ones and nothing to show for it until things got frantic late. And the Pen's get two lucky bounces. It's what I love and hate about the game. Murray, like so many greats in the playoff past, was amazing.

Yeah, well, 87 is due, too, if we're gonna play that game. And 71 as well.
