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:

Yes I agree they all played well and made sure I said that but Holtby made the big saves when needed. The same saves that always seemed to go against us way too many times in the past. I've been a fan of this team since the bondra and Kolzig days and living in Canada all I hear about is this teams previous failures. I've never been more satisfied with this teamthan I was tonight when Kuznetsov scored(thats my 6 month old dog's name btw). I felt like had we not won it tonight that we probably wouldn't have been on the right side of game 7 like last year which I attended.

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!!!!!!

I was the one that was probably the most vocal about Grubauer starting. I just didn't think he had what it took. It didn't cost us but if we lost that series against Columbus it would have been something I would never let go.

Not sure about Lily but Rush is no longer a member in the board. Rush did phone me tonight and we had a very good conversation about this series win. He is as happy as the rest of us that we finally beat the Pens.

Great last shift by Kuz to knock the puck off Crosby's stick before it got back to him for the score.
HoustonCapsFan:
Here is a question. If Kuzy doesn’t score, do the refs actually call the penalty on Letang for throwing his stick?
