A Bitter Bandwagoner Habs Fan's TSM: Captain Clutch

Both Captains delivered as the Capitals take a 2-1 series lead in Pittsburgh.

Washington Capitals @ Pittsburgh Penguins

GENO IS BACK.

Ice is slippery, don't cha know!
Every year I am reminded just how much I don't like yellow, and just how yellow Pittsburgh is.
Boy the Caps picked up right where they left off.
So of course they took a penalty. This is going to end well.
I know I say it every time, but a power play with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Phil Kessel, and literally anyone else is ridiculous.
So of course THEY take a penalty now.
Aw Lars Eller and T.J. Oshie playing four-on-four together.
On the other hand, Oshie, Ovi, Backstrom and anyone playing on the power play is pretty darn intimidating too.
Wow. Those were some close misses.
And now Pittsburgh looks much better.
AHHHHHH. EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING.
OH MY GOD LARRY WAS SO DAMN CLOSE. And then the puck that beat Murray some how trickled wide. sob.
How are NONE OF THESE GOALS GOING IN FOR ANYONE./

WHAT A SHOT.
Hahahah of COURSE it was Jake. Larry covering Sid though. insert heart-eyes emoji
Good lord, Penguins!
I am so conflicted. I want Ovi and Larry and Holtby to get a cup...but I also want Larry in Denmark for the WC, and a three-peat. SO I DON'T KNOW WHO I'M CHEERING FOR.
Of course it was Wilson.
Tieeee game.
Everyone go sit in the box and feel shame.
I really hope this series goes seven.
HOLY NISKANEN.
Larry and DSP on the two-on-one short handed :D
Yup, that's the right call on those matching minors.
SIDNEY. FRICKING. CROSBY. Woww that whole thing was Nice. That was capital N Nice.
Jake Guentzel has some pretty lofty company!
Too much man against Pittsburgh.
No goals in the first, five in the second. This is fun!/

Oh look at that. I made a "Slap Shot" reference, and it turns out that they're in the stands!
PING.
Boy has the pace ever picked up in the last minute or so.
HOLY NISKANEN AGAIN. TIE GAME AGAIN.
Nice shift from the Larry line.
Chaos. Absolute chaos in the Caps end. Until the Eller line returns.
Oh no, be ok, Holtby...
Another post.
Eller's had a great set up for a shot and then lost the puck a couple of times tonight.
OOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVIIII FROM BACKSTROM. AS IT SHOULD BE.
Aww head pats for Ovi from Larry.
Surely this playoff run will finally kill the narrative about Ovechkin and the post season.
CAPS WIN 4-3./

Gorgeous Guentzel play, stellar snipe from Sid.
