5 hole, Connolly. 5 hole, Caps. It's open.

Oh now I understand, the zebras are Tim Peel and Eric Furlatt.

Ah

That explains a lot

Peel was brutal 20 years ago in the OHL

JVR opens the scoring.

UGH... bullshit. Fuck JVR.

JVR opens the scoring.

JVR needs to be a beast for TOR to have any chance

He's got a sweet pair of mitts, I don't think he gets the recognition he deserves.

Not the scoreboard I want, but if the Caps keep playing like this the tilt on the board will end up matching the tilt on the ice.

JVR played great that entire series!





Words never uttered.

Terrible call. Williams didn't deserve that penalty

 

[elocomotive]

Caps just need to shoot the puck. More scoring chances than shots on goal right now.

We'll take it! Give us all the shitty calls and bad breaks in the 1st period and let the law of due deliver it's justice!

Jay Beagle not just whacking the puck out of there on the goal is frustrating. Caps did that several times deep in their zone. Gotta cut that shit out cause the Leafs will be on ya.

This. They seem to be overpassing a bit right now. Put it on goal and attack the rebounds.

 

[apachef4]

This is a fun one to watch

The score notwithstanding, that was indeed an entertaining period.

If caps can keep this game at 5 on 5, they'll be fine. And they need to get gritty instead of pretty.

 

[apachef4]

Ovie!

 

[dash]

There's OV failing to show up in the playoffs.

 

[ritari330]

But I was told his play drops off in April...?
