Nice shot by Neal.

Vegas!!!!

 

[Bill Brasky]

same Wilson hit as G1 only not in open ice and on a 4th liner.  too bad NBC didn’t frame it to look like he never had the puck to really spark the suspend everyone crowd.

Looking forward to the between periods piece where they show Wilson puttin' on the foil

Marchessault with a cheap shot gloved punch to the back of the head

 

[Bill Brasky]

okay play by Kempny but man was that a beautiful second assist

Who was that again?

 

[Bill Brasky]

  brilliant sell by Neal.  suspend Orpik anyway though imo

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

NBC has American Ninja Warrior on over the Stanley Cup. Thanks Trump.

Orpik? lol

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

ORPIK!

 

[Zegras11]

####..   ovi was plus 180 to score and we just couldn't pull the trigger. 

 

[JaxBill]

You can't stop Orpik, you can only hope to draw a bogus penalty against him.

 

[Bill Brasky]

slightly less effective cross check from Reaves there

 

[Dickie Dunn]

First goal for Orpik since Feb. 26, 2016. Wow.

 

[falguy]

Backstrom wearing #20 tonight.

 

[The_Man]

Caps really playing their game after that bizarre Game 1 track meet but they are up the creek if Kuznetsov is out for long. He’s their premier playmaker at this point 

 

[Bill Brasky]

bad Orlov in the lineup tonight

 

[The_Man]

Caps up by 2 so nothing bad can happen now

 

[kupcho1]

bad Orlov in the lineup tonight

I hate cows worse than coppers!

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Orpik tied for most shots on goal now for the Caps. Guy thinks he’s Paul Coffey all of a sudden.

 

[The_Man]

So great seeing the Caps take all these offensive zone penalties that result in Vegas goals. More offense = More excitement!

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

this is a pretty fun series so far. pray for kuznetsov to come back though.

Fixed

 

[The_Man]

Feel like this period is the whole series. Caps hang on and it’s a coin flip. Cough it up and it’s a 5-game wipeout 

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Vegas ties it within first 6 minutes

 

[The_Man]

3 on 1, Caps gotta get a shot on goal, get a rebound, whatever 

 

[The_Man]

These MFers would rather hit guys in the back than win the Stanley Cup 

 

[Bill Brasky]

awesome kill

 

[The_Man]

Ice turning mushy again 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

These MFers would rather hit guys in the back than win the Stanley Cup 

Have to wonder whether their plan is to wear them down with the body like what they did vs. Tampa in Games 6 and 7.

Love the heavy game. Hate the selfish penalties

 

[Bill Brasky]

omfg

 

[falguy]

OMG

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Braden Hasek

 

[Bill Brasky]

give that save conn smythe if they win the cup

 

[Dickie Dunn]

That was shades of Tim Thomas on Steve Downie in Game 5 of the 2011 ECF.

 

[fred_1_15301]

That save just wasn't fair.

 

[Bill Brasky]

gift icing there, geeze

 

[Bill Brasky]

great series so far

 

[The_Man]

The Washington Capitals have won a game in the STANLEY CUP FINALS!!!

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

we did it!

 

[falguy]

Well played game by the CAPS. Massive save by Holtby. I could take 7 games in this series. 

 

[Zegras11]

Another great game.  We bet the caps plus 125. Holtby save was unreal. 

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

we did it!

Next game I want all the Knights to take the ice with neck drinks.

 

[tom22406]

WE HAVE ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!

at 13 that is.

All hail Holtby
