R2 - Series Thread - Capitals (M1) vs Penguins (M2)

[Weitz]

No Malkin or Hagelin for game 1.

[Hey Connor, It's Mess]

That was quick.

[Nsd1]

So glad Rick Ball is calling this series

[troutman]

What a mind-#### this has to be for the Caps.

[Nsd1]

Same thing happened to start the Columbus series. They'll get it back. Caps in 5

[midniteowl]

Woohoo, Pens win

[AC]

Ovechkin with a bullet, 1-0 early again.

[PugnaciousIntern]

Caps are absolutely dominating early. Amazing how much offence they generate off the rush. Each forward has this forward motion in mind, really pushes them into odd man rushes

[PugnaciousIntern]

Caps PK has like 3 grade A chances. Pens can’t be happy with that

[GioforPM]

Broken play. Too bad for the Pens, they were killing well (the Caps are pretty easy to read).

[PugnaciousIntern]

Deadly Caps PP is deadly. Lots of shots going to Murray’s glove.

Caps definitely came to play. Pens look like they’re missing Malkin

Edit: that might be a slash, but too much time passes to call that goal off

[Weitz]

Lol if they call that goal off...

[PugnaciousIntern]

As expected, good goal

[Yoho]

So it’s ok to skate into the crease and move the goalies pads when you don’t have the puck?

[Hemi-Cuda]

Caps currently have a losing record in the playoffs when having a 2 goal lead. I'm just gonna say that at this point I think the next goal will determine who wins

[GioforPM]

Caps can't blow a two goal lead again can they?

I think the best way to deal with that play is probably to call a GI penalty. But stuff like that doesn’t get called in playoffs, for better or worse. And Murray had time to reset after the non-infraction, so you can’t justify calling off the goal.

It happens both ways, and little plays like that all over the ice.

[calgarygeologist]

Time to pull Murray. He stinks today.

[looooob]

Don’t like that hit
