Here Maaco. If you wish to watch the first period I found a magnet link to a high quality 720p @ 60fps torrent to tonight's game.
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:d4dcdbdba50599d32b6ba43a85476165da95b3e3
The link came from this page.

If you're not familiar with downloading torrents, download uTorrent and after you install it you will open the magnet link with uTorrent. This will begin your download. It is very safe and typically quite fast. It is also legal unless you choose to publish copyrighted material with it. This will look as good or better than any stream you can find online or even your cable/satellite TV video. I started the download the moment I started writing this email and it is already finished. The file is 4.29GB. Pretty impressive speed, and the video looks great.
Good luck.
I'm happy to help with any questions you might have. It's very easy and it's a very useful tool to have on your computer.

Willy had his back to the goal and could not have made a more perfect no-look tip in. He took that high speed shot by Niskanen out of mid-air and facing away from the goal tipped it at a sharp angle into the narrow crease above and between Murray's shoulders and the pipes. It's got to be a top ten highlight goal of the year.

I agree that was an amazing goal because of the sharp angle, the shot was wide of the net and to get his stick at the proper angle and to deflect it was brilliant and maybe a little lucky.

When you think that the Caps kept the Pens off the scoreboard even with all their penalties, and with their best penalty-killing forward injured, it makes yesterday's win all that more impressive.
Now, before everybody goes off the deep end if the Caps don't look all that great in their last few games, keep in mind: The Caps have virtually NOTHING to play for this week. They are locked into the top spot in the Metro Division, they can't catch either Boston or Tampa in the standings to gain home-ice advantage in a potential Conference final matchup, and Florida is far in the rear-view mirror. Their ONLY potential motivation is to end up ahead of Toronto for home-ice advantage in case Toronto comes out of the Atlantic Division playoffs. Their opponents this week are St. Louis, fighting for a playoff spot; Nashville, still fighting for the President's Trophy and home ice throughout the playoffs; and New Jersey to end up, whose playoff positioning will almost certainly depend on the outcome of that game, with spots 2-5 in the Metro in virtually a dead heat right now.

There’s a lot to play for. The reality is The Caps played an OK game against the team behind them in the division. They still committed an inexecutable turnover which nearly led to a goal, and an out and out breakdown that did lead to one, add a few shots of the posts and that becomes a loss.
There Is a LONG way to go to doing that for best of 7 games/21 periods at least twice.
You not only have to consider that this all the data and history shows this team is far more likleky to play like they did against Carolina then how they did against the Hens. Particularly when other teams get more scouting on Grubby and play 4-7 games against him. . .
Yesterday was nice, but so what?

That "only" potential incentive, regarding Toronto, is no laughing matter. Toronto almost assuredly is going to play Tampa in Round One. And, given what I have seen from Tampa lately (I've watched every game), they're likely headed to the golf course. They're simply too small, have a porous defense and are seemingly not motivated enough to get the job done. Cooper doesn't seem to have the personality to either kick butt or build a fire under them. They're too busy being "family" down there (sort of like the Ravens). Toronto, on the other hand is big, fast and is my pick to prevail in that series.
Given that the Caps had their hands full with Toronto last year and that Toronto is better and more experienced this year, having that home advantage could be vital to the outcome, should Toronto appear as an opponent, especially when one examines the Caps' road-vs-home records this year. It's not a time to get lazy or complacent, simply because the Metro is wrapped up.
