A Bitter Bandwagoner Habs Fan's TSM: On the Cusp

First Period

• AH!
• GAH!
• I'm already internally screaming, and we're not even two minutes in.
• Too many posts. Too much Vegas. I do not like.
• AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Clutches Eller jersey
• If this goes to seven, I will not survive. I just won't.
• Larry drawing a power play. Maybe I can breathe now. (Ha. Ha. As if.)
• OOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE
• TOMMY BOY. Oh gross. What a pass from Kuznetsov.
• OH MY DEVO. THE CAPS HAVE BUSTED THIS GAME WIDE OPEN./

Second Period

• Who wants to bet that no one is going to let anyone forget that Larry couldn't handle the puck there. cue aggressive eye rolling
• Carlson on Karlsson violence.
• After the Knights came out so hot in the first, they're back to looking pretty mediocre, I have to say.
• Ahh those little superstitions.
• After that crazy first, this second period feels like it went by so fast.
• THANK YOU HOLTBY.
• Wait...how is Washington going to the power play after Neal got smacked in the face with a stick??? Oh. Before that. How did Washington not get a double minor for that too though?
• EITHER WAY. GOAL FOR CARLSON./

Third Peirod

• Maybe don't make your life harder than you need to by slashing the stick out of Ovi's hands, Vegas...
• Oh no Kuzy why.
• This is a far better kill than advantage.
• God damn it. Of course it was the Real Deal. Looks like that that stick kiss earlier worked. Just needed to make a blood sacrifice to the hockey gods before it did...
• There is far too much time left for comfort...
• Far, far too much time...
• Someone in red please score again... (Hilarious to think that at the beginning of this series I thought my loyalties were divided. They're very not.)
• DAMN IT NO. Uhhhgggg.
• And now Reaves and Wilson go sit for two minutes to sit and think about what they've done.
• YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS KEMPNY.
• So much for that comeback.
• Maybe Miller should stop taking runs at Oshie. They're all ending worse for him than for T.J..
• DON'T BREAK OSHIE. DO NOT.
• Ovi hauling Kuzy out of trouble/temptation <3.
• All of the penalties.
• BRETTTTTTTTTTTTT.
• Moar penalties.
• Reaves is making stupid decisions right now.
• THEY'RE ONE WIN AWAY FROM THE CUP.
• LARS ELLER IS ONE WIN AWAY FROM A STANLEY CUP.
• CAPS WIN 6-2!!!!!!!!!!!!!/

Highlight of the Game

Carlson looked a heck of a lot like Ovi on this power play tally.
