I won't post during the games, it seems to be helping! Promise!
That was a fine exhibition of how it should be done. If they could have finished on the breakaways it wouldn't even have been close.
:P

I was thinking the same thing.
Sure is nice not to have a nail biter...
Devise:
That is how you win the playoffs. I don't know if I can find many complaints about that game other than a few defensive mistakes that even quality playoff teams would sometimes give up. We were really really strong defensively that game. Holtby made a few quality saves and there was a stretch in the third where he was crowded, but for most of that game we weren't letting them near Holtby or control of the puck anywhere behind the net or on the boards. We forced Columbus to make cross ice passes and our forwards were playing D enough to force turnovers.
If we can take the series lead Saturday I'd love to see us end this in CBJ.

Yep. Foot never came off the gas. Balls to the wall whistle to whistle.

We have scored first in every game. The first three games went to overtime because we blew a lead. But for a few minutes of bad play in each game this series could easily have been a Caps sweep. We played well tonight and avoided the mental lapses of the past few games. I feel good for this series. We will have the chance to get the aquatic bird monkey off our back in the next round. This team has shown some heart in this series and we need to acknowledge that. Go CAPS!

Bad play and some mediocre goaltending. I honestly believe if Holtby started games 1 and 2 we would have swept this series. We dug ourselves a hole and asked Holtby to bail us out. Good rebound but we arent done yet.
