Glad they got 1 on the 2 man advantage. Had 3 prime chances 5/5 and as usual, can't find the twine.

Hathy!!


League needs to look into the bullshit that goes on after a goal.. Shouldn't be a free zone for cheap shots, but it is.

I'll deny it if you repeat it, but Mantha is a good hockey player. He makes smart plays. He just sucks at scoring.

They're awake now.  :-\


At some point, some of our guys will start converting on wide open nets, no? I've never seen a Caps team this bad at scoring goals.

If that wasn't the 1st, it's only the 2nd time we've won a game all year scoring less than 3 goals.

Well done boys.  I though for sure we would get smoked in this game.  Couple of serious bullshit calls on Ovie.  The holding call was shit too - the guy grabbed Ovie's stick and fell to the ice, made it look like holding.  THe high stick was worse - it WAS follow-thru.  Like Boston really needed any help from the fucking refs.  I swear this league is rigged.
I don't think I've been that nervous in the last 10 minutes in a game in a while.  Amazed they hung on to that lead.  They looked tired in the second, I thought the 3rd would be total shit show.  I guess they saved their energy but NOT trying to go down and score  :snicker:
