MDF- (1)Capitals vs (2) Penguins----Pens win 4-2-----

[CroFlames]

Man how good is Ovi. Wow what a snipe.

[Frequitude]

It bugs me that the yellow t-shirts they handed out don't match the Pens jersey yellow.

[Canada 02]

suspension coming

[Ashasx]

don't like that dive by ovechkin

[Nammer403]

Oo making it close!

[Ashasx]

Well Flames management had the right idea in trying to trade for Murray early. Likely impossible now.

[nik-]

ugh, Pittsburgh is so annoying

[CroFlames]

Damn you Murray and Pens. Grrrr

[Weitz]

Well. IT will be a travesty if Letang plays game 4.

Why don't the Caps play like they want to win all game? Ridiculous.

Ovi was beast mode in the third period. Ovi definitely outshined Crosby.

Although Murray outshined everyone.

Lots of Caps fans here.

Orpik had way more time, changed direction and followed on his hit. Late and high, no debate. Maatta was hurt.

Letang a trifle late, hits through the chest and shoulder, and Johannson despite his acting, returned.

Maybe he gets a game but I don't think he should

[nik-]

"way more time" ?? It was a split second longer. Letang came in from the blindside and railed him right in the head.

Suspend his ass like they should have for the stick swinging.

Later Letang

That was a hit to the head and he jumped. I like both teams and don't care who advances but it was dirty.

You cannot honestly believe any of that...

[JJ1532]

Its a shame that we still have play off series in which the main talking points are bad hits and suspensions. Would have thought these 2 were better than smashing 10 lumps out of each other.


No points in 3 games for Sid. They are winning without him at the moment, but he'll have to step up sooner or later surely?

[automaton 3]

Letang was late, high and jumped to boot.

I'd think suspension worthy but who knows with the wheel of justice.

Agreed.

Don't care much for either team, but the Orpik hit is worse than the Letang hit.

You don't think Letang left his feet and deserves nothing?

[Magnum PEI]

It looked like he left his feet after contact, which is OK, no? I think he gets a game for the headshot, but who knows. He should have got five for the stick swing.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Admittedly I'm cheering for the Pens but I don't think Letangs hit was as bad. It just didn't look as malicious, even with him leaving his feet.

I'd have given Orpik more than 3 but since he got 3 I'd give Letang 2.
