MDSF-(1)Capitals vs (4)Flyers (Caps win 4-2)

[Canuck-Hater]

Pretty weak make up call. A tap on the back of the leg and he goes down like a sack of bricks.

[Scornfire]

Refs afraid of drawing the ire of the crowd?

[kirant]

This has got to be the least deserved 5 on 3 I've seen in a long time. Get a penalty for the other team high sticking their own teammate and get another penalty off the ensuing faceoff.

Theres too much special teams involved in this. Let them play.

Cheering for the Flyers but I almost hope they don't score on these cheap calls...

[Machiavelli]

Ugh, this game was awesome until all these whistles.

Agreed.

Again...too many damned penalties. We've had more 5-on-4 than 5-on-5. This is ridiculous.

[Machiavelli]

The only callthe refs had to make was the Simmonds slash...everything else has been super soft or just wrong.

[JJ1532]

Not sure if that 5-on-3 was a terrible PP by the Flyers or just an outstanding PK by the Caps.

[MissTeeks]

A goal!

[nik-]

god that goal must feel like a relief for the Caps

[Machiavelli]

Just a matter of time...Flyers have had like minus 3 scoring chances even with the 2-man advantage.

Ovechkin has 3+1 points in this series. One of the goals was a 5 on 5 GWG.

Sorry, make that 3+2 points.

nice hit Schenn, embracing the flyers goon culture

From reading Flyers boards, they want to keep Mason over Neuvirth.

Stolarz has been in minors for 2 years and showed well. They signed Alex Lyon, who they probably promised at least lots of AHL playing time next year. So Neuvirth is likely available especially with expansion draft coming up.

We could have a Czech invasion coming to Calgary; Frolik, Smid, Pribyl may as add Neuvirth and ask the immortal #68 to join them as well.

[Locke]

Come on Philly, tie this up and take it to OT.

[MissTeeks]

That's the series. Crosby vs Ovi coming up.

[Hockey_Ninja]

Series over. Ovi vs Crosby in round 2. This should be good.

[Machiavelli]

Predictable result, not a predictable course. Good effort by the Flyers today, just couldn't solve Holtby/Caps D.

[Locke]

I dont know, the last time it was Pens vs. Caps it was almost unwatchable river hockey.
