If you ask me there's no explanation for that hit except an intent to injure. The puck had been moved so what is Ovechkin doing there?
I completely agree. Especially when Hank says after the game that he's really tired. I expect him to be really sharp in game seven.
Playing to get to the ECF for the third time in four years. Pretty hard to believe if you have watched this team for a long time. Come on they have to take this game seven. You just know that building is going to be crazy.
My damn DVR didn't record the game!!! ARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! At least we won and I got to listen to the game. Most stressful drive home from the airport I've ever had. Started out great when we went up 4-1 and then turned into sheer anger and frustration when they mounted the comeback. Did I hear correct that we didn't even get a shot on goal after Boyle's goal???
Yeah it was ridiculous how they were on their heels after going up 4-1. Clearly they relaxed and stopped playing. They need to stop letting that happen and play the full game. There was no reason to change what was working.
That should have been a penalty. I know it's the playoffs, and they let a lot go, but that was blatant. I hope AV does politicking to the media.
Re watching the 3rd period much more relaxed this time.....Caps really impressive in those last 12 min skating hard AND hitting every play. But there's a reason they are playing so desperate they know they are in trouble at MSG. Rangers also were their own worst enemy with constant missed assignments of not taking the body and giving Caps forwards open ice. Also what is ridiculous is the Rangers scored on 3 of their last 9 shots but only got those 9 shots since the end of the 1st period. They have to be way more aggressive on Wednesday even if they get a lead. Definitely the best Caps period by either team in the series but they won't play anywhere near that effective in G7. I am very confident mostly because Lundqvist is light years better than Holtby in elimination games.
