I'm still all keyed up and can't sit still. Great win. Now lets get behind Nashville (at least for tonight) to buy some rest and recovery time for us.

I have to give a shout out to the refs who did a pretty good job in this game. They maybe should have called a couple on the Hens which they chose not too, but at least they did not inject themselves to become the story. It would be nice if this could be the case in all playoff games instead of only 2 of 6 games. I still am grateful that tonight was a good showing from them.
:thumbsup:

I said that in an earlier thread when people were questioning the start of grubauer for the first game. I think that decision made Holtby hungry and the goalie he's been since taking back over the starting position. Hotlby was the main reason we won the series (not taking anything away from the rest of the team though because they played great as well). Goaltending in the playoffs is the main reason most teams winand we've finally got the better end of it after soooo many years of outplaying the opposition but having games stolen by the other teams netminder. Halak and Montreal comes to mind the most. Ecstatic right now and didn't actually think we could pull it off. On cloud 9. These guys deserve this and have to keep it going. Go Caps go!!!!!!

Welcome to the Forum.
Agreed, Holtby was HUGE! We also had the entire team contributing and playing their parts with tremendous heart. Heart is something we've lacked in years past.
Today was a great day. I feel we have more of those coming. :thumbsup:
