Milbury just said the refs are doing a terrific job tonight

right as he ignored the boarding on Oshie

Hello all!  Trying to quickly read through the commentary here, watch the game on tape delay and get caught up at the same time (last high school musical concert ever, tonight!). 
Nervously watching the game...team looks disjointed, thought the start tonight was identical to Game 1, so bit worried.  Am happy when I've been scrolling through the comments and I see the big, red letters announcing a goal!  Will get caught up soon...

I am SURE he got a serious talking to  after his major rant against the refs after last game.

[Mickstix]

Told ya we'd get called for a cross check in front of their goal.. Stupid penalties will be the death of em'..

   Well I still think the refs suck.

THIS!


Spot on.  God forbid ye speak the truth if it's against the refs or Vegas.


Fuck the NHL.

   I thought Oshie got called for interference.

   I thought Oshie got called for interference.

The actual call was "breathing too hard on a fuckwad who dove himself to the ice."  Rule 44Q

[BlackIce]

Say what you want about the announcers and the refs.


If Kuzy is out, this series is over.  Eller is a fine, competitive player, but neither he nor anyone else can fill Kuzy's shoes, and Backstrom is still 2/3 of himself.    One of the Caps' greatest strengths becomes another hole to fill.  You can get by with a situation like this for a game with the Buffalo Sabres.  You can't get by for 6 games against a team like Vegas.


It's too bad, but it is what it is.

And that makes all the difference!! lol Whatever he did looked similar to what happened to Carlson, which I predicted would be a penalty on us.. That good enough for ya?

I thought it was rule 44C(aps)

So what is wrong with Kuznetsov anyway? Didn't look like much, but it don't take much for him to start crying.. 

[chas]

Consider the source.  Milbury is one step up from cro-magnon on the evolutionary scale.

Sideways maybe.

I think the way it bent possibly tendon/ligament damage...

[Mickstix]

Blew a 3 on 1..

Good point, but maybe then the team will just have to look to the 'nobodies' to produce again.  Can't focus on what a loss Kuzy is; have to hope that the players with no sense of Caps playoff history can come up big.  If that's all we've got, then that's all we've got.  Have to hope that will be enough.

The staff could be a bit more cautious after letting Backstrom play injured. 

[ArJunaZ]

NOw that was a stupid penalty by Willy. WTF?

[Mickstix]

And the stupid continues. Wonderful! Who needs to come away with a 1-1 series anyway? 

[Brinkhoffs52]

BULLSHIT PENALTY>>>> THe guy backed into wilson..... ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!
