Walton said Dummo sold it, which means it was a dive

When you KNOW the NHL wants Shittsburgh to tie the series you can't leave your stick out like that.  These assholes will ALWAYS dive over it.

[apace41]

We have not had enough sustained pressure 5 v 5 in this one so far.  Let's see if we can throw another great third period at them.

[alta]

It was the right call...

the goal? Or the interference?

[Maacoshark]

Any updates on Burakovsky?

   Why?

[OnlyCaps2]

Caps will win 5-2

[ArJunaZ]

Sis anyone see Oshie trip him? It looked like he touched only his stick and then it was a dive.

Walton said Dummo sold it, which means it was a dive

I watched it back. Oshie did not touch anything but his stick, then Dumoulin took a dive and drew the penalty. The Ref was RIGHT THERE, so he had to know the  truth of it.

[OnlyCaps2]

I saw the replay clearly too, Oshie never touched his skate.

[IDontGiveaChuk]

   Why?

I guess because he has more playoff experience than the next guy up at this point. He could be of some help if someone else is injured or suspended.

[newtoCapsparty]

Lots of skating but no one really getting close to Murray and when someone does, there aren't enough Caps nearby to help. 

[Devise]

I'd say we could use a penalty but who I am kidding with these refs tonight lol.

[Brinkhoffs52]

Have zone time but less than nothing to show for it. Need a spark!

[Devise]

We were allowed 6 players on the ice, Holtby was on the bench.....

[Brinkhoffs52]

Well. 7 guys on the ice isn’t gonna work...

[newtoCapsparty]

What is going on with Oshie???    Wow. 

[Devise]

Welp that is probably the series. Needed a killer instinct this game that wasn't there. I don't see them winning Game 6 or 7, regardless if we win in game 5 so.

[apace41]

Did not play well enough to win by a long shot.  Shittsburgh wasn't great but good enough to beat us tonight.  Ovie and Kuznetsov were non-existent.  Think not having Willy allows them to play a lot closer to those guys?  Smith-Pelley not a suitable replacement.  Once again the league gave us the big NHL-boner up the old poop chute.

[alta]

there were 7 Caps on the ice on that penalty, fukin idiots

[DC_1908]

About time someone got to beat the shit out of Twanger

[apace41]

You may wind up right but in a series that has been separated by a c-hair, I don't really see how you can say that.  We've been the better team on the whole.  Should have won game one, won 2 and 3, just didn't play as well tonight and I think the Wilson spark is a big part of it.

[Brinkhoffs52]

Ugh.....we looked flat. We had position but couldn’t get through to the net. I hope we have more spark on Saturday. I’m not counting is out yet. Brand new series. Best of 3.
