Look. It’s not my fault that all the playoff TSMs are about the Penguins and Capitals. Blame the schedule.
First Period
- Oh boy big chances at both ends.
- OOOH long shot of Larry. I appreciate.
- YAY!!!! But also uh oh.
- Kessel is flying tonight. Or…is he Phil-ying…I’m so sorry. I’ll stop.
- PK Caps. Oh dear. Meh they’re fine.
- Niceee save by Murray…and then the Pens are in the box.
- Aaaaand Pittsburgh gets a short-handed chance. Because WHY NOT.
- Larry still on the PP with Ovi <3
- Yeeshhh Jake…at least he seems…ok?
- Boy the Caps are playing with fire…
- Preeettty sure Kuzy beat out the Penguins on that icing…
- THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.
- John Carlson does NOT look old enough to have two kids.
- CONNOLLY FROM VRANA AND ELLER 33 SECONDS LATER
- Well that was a hopping first period!/
Second Period
- That was the least threatening Pittsburgh power play I think I’ve seen this season. It’s a good sign for the Caps when Eller and Devo get a short-handed look.
- SIDNEY.
- TOO MUCH MAN. Or not. There definitely weren’t. We’re fine. Moving on.
- ALL OF THE ODD-MAN RUSHES. Boyyyyy this game is craaazy.
- I’m sorry for all the caps, but believe me, THEY’RE ALL NECESSARY.
- Oh my goodness, Penguins. (Also, Caps, you may want to stop taking stupid penalties…just a thought.)
- Very nice shift from Connolly and Eller there.
- Hey, Caps, you may want to get out of your own zone for a while.
- Devo, you’ve gotta stop taking penalties.
- Larry lookit you drawing a penalty against Sid!! 😀 (To be fair, that was a very, very gentle hook…)
- Larry was SO CLOSE to tying it up at the very end of the period./
Third Period
- KUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh baby!
- Oh god Holtby be ok… please be ok…get up…
- Ok phew…he’s maybe ok.
- That definitely should have been a penalty.
- Yeesh, Devo blocked that shot with his back.
- Oh geez. Backstrom is gone. On the one hand NUMBER TWO CENTRE LARS ELLER, on the other hand, Backstrom is kinda important….
- All Ur shifts R belong to Kuzy.
- VRANANANANANA BAT MAN. CAPS TAKE THE LEAD.
- That was terrible. I’m not even sorry though. Not even a little.
- HOLTBEAST.
- And Pens’ net is empty. gulp
- MOVE FASTER, CLOCK. COME ON.
- OSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
- Net is empty again
- Sid vs Larry with less than 30 to go.
- LARRY INTO THE EMPTY NET AGAIN!!!!!
- CAPS WIN 6-3!!!!!!!!!!!/
Highlight of the Game
Kuznetzov’s tying goal was a beauty—and so was the celly.
