R1G2 Capitals vs Bruins @ 7:30pm
Mickstix:
Game 3 gonna be interesting.. Giving up a late lead (then losing) could be the mind fuck we've feared all season. I haven't paid much attention to the matchups, but whoever they have against our top line has erased Ovi and Nicky. Mantha has that overpaid 4th liner look.. Need to figure it out, quick! Top 6 + Carlson = invisible.. :-\

I want to see what McMichael has and Alexeyev!

I'd be surprised if any of the black aces crack the lineup unless someone (ahem...Eller) gets hurt. Pretty common for teams to do this because they can.
If Eller is out....we are in deeper shit. He doesn't get a lot of respect on these boards, but he does a lot for this team that doesn't always get noticed. If he is out then Backy becomes your shut down guy - or your 4th line is going to get top line minutes to match up with Bostons top line guys. Either way, it hurts everyone else's line when Eller is out.
Not knocking Anderson, he has played well enough, but he has glaring holes and I don't see us advancing with him in net. We already had these questions with any of our goalies going in, but I really don't think anyone expected to ride a former retired 40 year old taxi squad/practice goalie into playoff promise land.
Samsonov seriously fucked his team this year with his "antics". He was supposed to be the #1 guy and at least the near future of this team and all he has done this year is show he can't be relied on, and that's pretty much the opposite of you need from a goalie.
And For Fuck's Sake....Hathy gets not one but TWO goals in a playoff game and you don't win it? Where the hell were the stars of this team? :raised-eyebrow:
Go Caps

looks like management is anticipating Sammy and Kuzy to play within the next 2 games
if it were me, I’d wait til next round for Sammy to prove something. I think Anderson played well so far, that first goal last night should’ve been goalie interference
