Wow, what a rush by Matthews. 2-1

You talk about a fortuitous bounce...

That was a Schmidty bounce for Washington.

This game is more up and down than Barry Trotzs' eyebrows.

A natural haty from Marner would be nice about now.

learned i've got to break these up by period

 

[ritari330]

Finally a goal from the combination of Kuznetsov and Johansson. Those two have looked good all series.

Matt Martin is not a smart guy.

Did kuznetzov just laugh at don cherry there ????? lol

What a stop by Holtby. Huge gamble but it paid off.

Somebody has to put that segment where Holtby was scrambling back and forth to 'Yakety Sax'

 

[obxyankeefan]

Washington might want to look at the offsides on that goal.

I think that puck went in off Orpik's butt - 3-2 Caps

Caps look defeated heading off the ice in the second. Too much pouting and not enough doing work.

Hey Shattenkirk, hit the friggin net.

Caps haven't been a "pouting" team all year, but I don't think "doing work" has been the problem at all this series. Both teams playing with a lot of intensity.

Perhaps not, but it's the playoffs. This is what they do. Win the President's Trophy and then get bounced in the 1st or 2nd round.

The young Leafs look faster and hungrier.

You're an idiot. The Caps have carried the play on the whole of the series and have had no "hunger" issues. They didn't have a puck go in during a dominant final 5 minutes of game 2 or you aren't making this post. It's hockey, bounces happen. Still early in the series and we don't even know where this game will end up yet.
