Why the fuck I allow myself to believe things are different is beyond me. Perhaps the issue is 19 because 8 has been great and has been in the whole time. Everyone jumps on Ovi as the "core" and the "reason." Maybe Backstrom has no fucking balls and doesn't show up in the big games?

FUCK YOU Niskanen

Man before he scored, there was a shift of pure passion in the zone where he out hustled several players in the offensive end and just out manned them on the puck. He went from board, to getting a few rebound attempts and pushing the net to rushing after the players who had the puck. I was taken aback for a second because I had to make sure that was Ovechkin I was seeing. Agreed here, you can totally tell he wants it, or that he senses with how deep we've gone this run and how much success we've had this is likely his shot at a Cup. He has to seal the deal now.
I hope he takes that type of effort into the LR and lets the boys see it. If anything the momentum should be on our side after that third period. But we are down in the series, and that is all that really matters at this point.

The problem with this series is that the Lightning are just better.
Total crap start for the Caps this game but even with 120% effort the Caps are just not good enough to beeat them. Tampa didn't show up the first two games and Vasi was shit. Now we are seeing the real Lighting and we are just not quite good enough to compete without the bounces going our way
And how can you not give the caps one lousy power play after Giving Tampa a goal by not calling a trip that lead directly to a goal?
Tampa is better on D and better on O. We tie in goal.
That adds up to Tsmoa winning.
I'm not giving up but it will take a miracle for the Caps to win.

Why care you even discussing Ovi or Backstrom? Neither of them cost us this game. Niskanen single handedly lost this game for us. With a bit if help from Orlov. And Arm says Carlson makes bonehead plays. Carlson has cost us less in these playoffs than Niskanen did in this game alone. Fuck
