Straight up goalie duel. Both were incredible.


Also very glad Joshua Anderson is not our problem any more.

I was going to say, Lane Hutson is a heck of a player and will likely win the Calder, but he could learn some things from Quinn Hughes about how to QB a powerplay.

Yeah he's a great skater and passer, but could use some work there.....and honestly defensively a bit too.... but for 21, good start.

Interesting 3rd. Thompson was really good when needed.

Thompson was a beast tonight. Caps still have work to do, but looking better and better.

There are worse places to be than up 2-0 with an outlook of “we could play much better than we have.”

Expect the game to start a bit later tomorrow night. The Canadiens are honouring Leaping Lanny Poffo before the game with a short ceremony, so start time will be slightly delayed.

Darn it, I was hoping for Shaun Michaels and a re-creation of the Montreal screw job

Are they handing out Slim Jims and du maurier tins to the first 10,000 patrons thru the doors?

If so, I’m there.

This is an exceptional article by Dylan Strome in the Player's Tribune about the highs/lows of being in the league and finding a home.

I'm glad it's with us.

TNT making a big deal out of Wilson and Xhekaj talking during warmup. Like it's an indicator of fireworks later.

Wilson ran and hid behind a ref when Elvis punched him with his blocker. He ain't gonna have no part of Wifi.

 

[forty_three]

One minute in, and the fans are already taunting a goalie who has been owning them.

Bold strategy.

 

[forty_three]

If there's gonna be a dance after every whistle, this is gonna be a long night.

 

[Comeds]

Habs should let more Caps stand alone and take multiple shots

 

[dash]

This league makes no sense - You can review a high-sticking call to see whose stick hit the player, but a slashing call is not reviewable. That looked like the Caps player's stick hit Thompson on the replay.

2-1

 

[naslundfan19]

And we’re tied.
