To be fair, they just lost one of their top PP guys prior to that opportunity.  If you want to complain, the refs should have given 4 or 5 minutes for that play.  Related to that though, they need to ditch the damn sling shot, that play is not getting them in the offensive zone on a consistent basis and needs to go.

 

Yeah should have been a major.  Seemed like a worse hit than the one that got the Carolina player ejected on Saturday.

Nice recovery at home after that dirty hit to Oshie in the last one.  I hope they can close it out in game 6.

Looked great Saturday, hopefully they can continue on the road.

Clearly neither team can win on the road.  Hopefully holds true tomorrow.

Some of the worst calls I've ever seen too though. Like game changing fails. Had one in gm 5, but we turned out to not need it, but again last night, stick hit puck under his stomach, no where NEAR his pads, and he BARELY even touched him, after the puck crossed the line. Should have been a goal, but if TOR overrules it, it makes the refs look incompetent since they had already reviewed and upheld it.

I think the embellishment call on Orlov was more egregious. Obviously not as important though.

Caps allow a short handed goal, 2-1 now.

[Mashed Potatoes]

Poor positioning by Holtby, caught on a slow change, Smith Pelly easily boxed out using the hip. Tie game. Ugh

[B00E00N00]

12-4 shot on goal advantage and unfortunately they lose the 3rd period 1-0.  Now on to OT.

Do the Caps know they actually need to shoot the puck at the net in order to score and win? Worst possible time for their offense to do that thing they do like 4 times a year.

Nothing more exciting than a game 7 overtime in the NHL, and I don't even hockey. I don't know how you guys who are invested in who wins here don't throw up.

That's the thing...

Caps have had only two legit shots in 40 minutes of hockey. They better fix it during this break. Playing with fire, about to get burned.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Better wake up. Only reason they aren’t heading home is Holtby.

[B00E00N00]

Power Play, make it count guys.
