[elocomotive]

Both Kuzy and Samsonov back in the lineup tonight, the latter looking sharp early.

What a defensive save by TJ Oshie and then draws the PP.

Bruins d9minatee that first period, Caps not battling Bruins Plmdamn near flawless. But still 0-0 with some sparkling saves by Samsonov, so maybe a chance to have weathered the surge and grab a lead. If the second goes like the first though Bs will win.

Stupid stick to the face after the whistle by Marchand allows a PP goal from OV on a great pass by Mantha.

Hall ties it right back, he’s been stellar this series. What a goal.

McAvoy blew a tire, but twas a nice pass by Mantha and OV was all alone in the slot and made no mistake.

Samsonov had no chance on that one, Hall put it where mom keeps the cookies.

OT - Does Samsonov's family own the luggage company by the same name?

Samsonov, I was way off!

Really nice goal but where’s the defence?

Guys got caught up too high near the blue line, someone should have folded back. It was a loose/uncontrolle puck and just quickly popped to the Bs.

caps went D shell too soon last game. Want to see them play like they need that third goal to win tonight.

Caps transitioning out of their own zone a lot better this game.

Both coaching staffs going to be on their teams to shoot the puck more after this one.

Nice embellishment McAvoy

For sure lol. My question is why the whistle B's had the puck.

 

[elocomotive]

Dumb penalty by Dowd, and the rat puts it home.

you guys are okay if Wilson gets him in particular right?

 

[elocomotive]

For sure lol. My question is why the whistle B's had the puck.

Refs probably thought there was a dangerous sniper in the arena based on McAvoys reaction.

 

[dash]

Wilson almost iced the game right there.

 

[elocomotive]

Great response from the Caps after the Bs tied it up. Martha so snakebit right now. So due.

Another game between these two teams is going to be decided by one goal - Whouda thunk it.
