Nice to get 1 early. Be cool to win a puck battle here sometime soon.

Bloody hail.  🤢🤮

1 to 1 after one


Caps will start the 2nd with 1:20 of PP

[Surreylily]

Not enough checking so far.

[Mickstix]

Doubled up on shots, doubled up on zone time. Fortunate to be tied. If Thompson's head hurts during intermission, we're toast.    It's really too bad we lost Fever. That pretty much takes away any chance of going deep in the playoffs. We can't even handle the 8 seed when they start pressing.
