    No huge edge either way so far I agree Mess, but we are down 3-2 and sadly that is all that matters. Now that we won tonight we get the chance to try and get the road win the Caps got in game 1. All I wanted was that chance into this game tonight. We got it...let the chips fall where they may from there.

    When Kreider plays well we usually win. Don't lay an egg in game 6 Kreids...

    LOL...because it worked for once. It's OT, you get a chance to shoot, you shoot. Don't get too cute.

    If they can get up early on Sunday you could see the Caps start thinking a little.

    Kreids is a playoff stud

    Yeah but if you watch that play again you had some guy laying down on the ice and another Cap right next to him. Nothing to shoot at.

    Yeah, you would think the first goal would be big in game 6, but in games 4 & 5 the team that scored first lost both games, so who knows.

    Thats the issue with Kreider. He has his head up his ass half of the time. He has to be more consistent and not lazy.

    I don't think Kreids is a playoff stud. I think he has shown studly flashes, and then games where he is invisible. That's his MO thus far in his short career. We need him in game 6...don't pull a no show.

    3pts in 9gms is not a stud performance, but at least he's useful when he's not scoring.

    Look at Kreider linemate Stepan. When he shows up they both show up. Sometimes Stepan is dragging him down with his play. They both need to play well in game 6. Not just Kreider.

    The hope you can have is that Washington has dominated nothing in this series. These games have been up for grabs for anybody. The goalies have been the story.

    31, kreids would have a lot more than 3 points if his offensively challenged teammates that he's on the ice with would convert some of his perfect setups. He also leads the team by a wide margin in hits. He is vital to the rangers success

    It was good to see Washington pay for collapsing so many guys around their own net. The puck deflecting off bodies is a good thing.

    Being vital to the teams success and being a stud are two different things. He is VERY vital to the teams success. He is not a stud because he is invisible too often in games. But when he comes to play and is on his game, it is huge for us. In a lot of ways he is the pulse of the team. When he plays really well we usually win the game.

    Missed the game. Flying into NY for Mother's Day. What time is game Sunday? Flying back down to Florida Sunday. Hopefully I'll be able to see that game.

    AV is good in these pressers. Funny.

    If we can get to the ECF maybe we see Zucc again.
