This Flyers - Caps game has plenty of feeling for an early start...

Nice pass from Stonehands to MoJo to give the Caps a 2-1 lead.

I think Streit cleared that puck off the line just in time...Very close though. Great Mick McGeough impersonation by the ref.

Flyers had that one PP, but the Caps are fucking OWNING them today.

This is going to be a 5-2 final.

Nothing like a Flyers - Caps game to get eloco spewing the expletives (lol)

Ovechkin backchecking on the powerplay - not too shabby

You fucking know it!!

Mason has kept the Flyers in this game thus far, 15 saves and several big ones already.

So nice to not have Milbury in studio between periods.

Steve Mason is the only reason this game is respectable - Luke Schenn and Mesz have been hot garbage together(Nicklas Grossmann for that matter too)

Flyers need to stay out of the fucking box - seriously

Caps forecheck is eating the Flyers alive

Does anybody know where that outdoor skating rink is in DC? That looked pretty cool.

Which one? The figure 8 or the one in the Sculpture Garden?

I think it looked like the Sculpture Garden (I didn't see any figure 8)

Holtby robs Simmonds - I was sure that was going to be 2-2

The Sculpture Garden rink is right on the Mall across from the Archives. It is very small but has a great view of some of the buildings and the sculptures nearby. The restaurant next to it has a Parisian theme and is pretty cool looking.

There is a new one down near Nats' Stadium that is also pretty awesome. Went there a few weeks ago and it was fun...

Yup, the above pic confirms it eloco, it was the Sculpture Garden.

Holy Holtby (stones Giroux)

Do I get my fruit basket now?
