Well, I didn't see THAT coming.. The snake with the nasty dangler! Who'd thunk we could win a shootout after Oshie and Kuzy both fire blanks? Bout time we got some luck.. Halak was looking behind him all night and nothing would go.. Good to see Holtby do the same, for the Dubya!!

I also felt at the end of the third that Caps won't make it!

[ArJunaZ]

Weird as hell. NHL standings shows the Caps only getting one point tonight and they did not add either a win, loss, or OT loss to the tally.  "Streak" say only "1", not W1, or L1, or OT1.  I've never seen anything like that on there.

It also shows we have played 22 games, but the tally of wins, losses, and OT losses is only 21.

[ArJunaZ]

We were outplaying the Bruins. I felt pretty good about our chances, even near the end of third.  They seem to do this goal out of a hat trick almost at will.

HALAK gets VRANA'd



Vrana on his shootout winner: "In the situation like this I just felt like you got to do something different to put the puck through him ... it was just I think good execution."

Reirden on Vrana's winner: "Oh man, that was an outstanding move. I haven't seen that very often from him in practice even, so that was good. Certainly he has elite skill and has been able to score on breakaways this year so I felt pretty confident."

Wow. I just watched the game and now looked at this board. You guys were pretty tough.
I though the Caps actually played really well. They wer the dominant team nearly all night...just didn’t score. I was pleasantly shocked to see Oshie tie it and DAMN...Jake should autograph Halak’s jock strap and give it back to him 😁

I agree.  I thought the Caps were the better team and had it not been for Halak we would have won the game in regulation.  I still can’t believe he made that stop on Wilson.  The Caps had 44 SOG and a total of 66 shot attempts. Boston only had 23 SOG and only 45 shot attempts.  This really was one of the best games the Caps have played this season.  True Boston was missing Bergeron and Krug two of their best players but those are the breaks.

I'm with you two on this. I thought they played great. It was an awesome game to watch. Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Glad to see the NHL finally, after many hours, got their standings corrected.

The Caps are playing well right now, they are 15-3-4, and that's after all but ruining the table on their west coast tour, which are all damn good teams. To be concerned about the playoffs now, which are 5 months away, is a waste of energy. There are always things they could be doing better. The only thing of concern is the way they are up against the salary cap, but that will be fixed at the conclusion of this season with the Seatle entry draft.
