It was down to the wire and was almost the Bruins (I think I would have preferred them). Best time of the year! I'll be watching the pens/Blue Jackets games also.

I have already adjusted my sleep patterns to stay up for the West games!

My wife's going to hate it for a few months. She can stand to watch the Caps, but I'll be watching the other games. Especially the Pens/CBJ games.

WAY too close for comfort.
Williams was a one man wrecking machine.
Kuzy and others must have sprayed their sticks with cooking oil.
I'll take the W, but hopefully the jitters and/or time off gets out of the way soon.

Yeah, I seriously think any time off for this team results in negative impact! Happy for Wilson scoring the OGWG against his hometown team!

Your first puts the test to your last.
Looks like (as usual dammit) the Pens have another gear for the playoffs.
As for the Caps OT loss last night...I think they'll be all right. They had so many chances to score last night. I think in a series their talent and experience will win out over youth and speed. Matthews isn't doing too much yet - hope it stays that way.

Yep. Same ole' Caps.
Multiple chances to get it done and they choke.

I want to believe that. The fact that the last two games they gave up the lead/blew chances to put it away, they blew a 5-on-3 back to back with a 5-4 PP. Kuzy had the net wide open and rang the pipe, Ovi was played for 15 min all game.
I don't get it. It boggles my mind how inept this team is come post season. I feel like the only time they'll win a cup is when they barely make the playoffs as a wild card and no one is putting pressure on them.
It's been fun to watch as a hockey fan, but I'm blowing through way too much beer and cigarettes dealing with the anxiety of 4 OTs in 3 games.

They'll win in 7, beat up, tired and then go down in 6 to the pens after being up 3-1 late in the 3rd

Yup. Freaking nightmare brigade, this team. For what, 30 years?

I'd be happy if I can get 3 NFL refs to agree on what goaltender interference is, exactly.

They didn't make the call, it seems. It was up to the league to over rule or not when the Caps challenged. I get where it was interference at first, being in the crease while the goalie was trying to establish position but then, play went on and he was alternately grabbed by goalie and blocked from leaving by defender. They could have also called Caps for a minor at their discretion and chose not to and he called it right away so, I dunno.
