In because Holtby is a sieve

Looked good to me but probably won't be a goal.

Yeah, that was a good goal. Caps with just some dreadful giveaways in their own zone right now.

 

[elocomotive]

Better take advantage of this 5-on-3. Both teams with some dumb penalties early, Caps finally getting 'em called because thye missed that one on Anderson badly.

 

[elocomotive]

There we go, boys! That's the passing we know and love.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Needed that one.

I notice that PP came as a result of a long stretch in the defensive zone that resulted from the classic post-goal 4th line shift that coaches just can't seem to get away from. "Hey we just scored and they're probably gonna come back at us hard, let's put our shit out there and hope they don't give up this lead". Hate it.

Ah, I always forget how much playoff hockey makes me want to throw up

Good game so far.
Matthews, Nylander and espescially Marner are gonna wear down the guys checking them IMO.

I think the Leafs will give them a tougher time,then most are giving them credit for.

Yeah, I think that's been the sentiment from both sides of fans here.

But what do I know, I'm watching the game by a dumpster.

There's a nice Chinese restaurant a couple of blocks down the street - you know, the one with the green canopy and all the roasted Duck in the window. Sounds like a nice intermission snack to me.

It's a drug I sorely miss.

Caps overall look pretty mediocre to poor tonight, but I'm impressed by MoJo. #90 brought his A-game.

 

[elocomotive]

They closed the kitchen door (rats!) and we don't know what's going on, though I scored a pretty nice 1/2 cheesburger and most of the fries a few minutes ago.

Has anything happened?

Williams and Johansson have showed up to play tonight. It'd be real nice if anyone else wanted to show up for the 3rd.

This game has Edmonton/San Jose written all over it.

I was just going to post that. Has almost the exact same flow and feel.

Yeah, second line has been strong tonight. Carrying the load.

 

[elocomotive]

Leafs looking overwhelmed now.... need to finish!

So we should expect a woman of rather generous proportions to flip a double bird to a Leafs player in OT?
