No Willy..    Gotta hope and pray and pray some more he's able to go in game 4.. Kinda taking this one like I did game 1.. Don't expect much but we'll see!


I see were "testing" Bob again.. That's great, but ya need to "solve" him a time or two, before they get 1. 

[Mickstix]

Pfft.. ECHL quality goaltending, so.. I guess Fl in 5.

[capsfanpdx]

How many wiffs do we have this series unbelievable

[alta]

great PK, earns them another pp

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL


PPG OSHIE

[waynerivers]

Samsonov needed to get his ass out of the paint on the goal.  He has ONE guy to stop because nobody is coming down the slot.  You can't be 6" above the crease, you have to be 5-6 feet out or more.  Then, Huberdeau has nothing to shoot at.  This is Goaltending 101 stuff.

[Mickstix]

Ovshie! 

[capsfanpdx]

Huge 1st now get the next one!!

[Surreylily]

FOGEY BABY!
 
Good bit of intensity at the end of that period.
