Steckel just did that lame reach for the puck instead of skate to the puck thing that the Caps excelled at last night. As a result: 87 got the puck cleanly out of the corner.

Glorious

Winning one at Pitt easily cancels out losing 3 in a row for me (but thankfully, not Boudreau). I only caught the tail end of the Pitt feed, but man those announcers sounded depressed (and seem not to be big fans of Ovie – while they did note him tapping his stick, they seemed stunned and were unsure at first if it was good sportsmanship), I guess it’s tough to be a Pens fan right now.

Happy Birthday, J.P.

Ovechkin and the boys came through for you.

Pick SPG for your chance to win probably nothing.

How did Laich get an assist on the Schultz goal? Schultz blocked it and then shot.

If I ever watch a Caps-Pens game with the Pens feed again, I’m going to cry.
Was a fun game, I only saw the third, as I had two shitty basketball games to watch my college lose while getting paid to play trumpet.

I caught the game right before the Caps tied it at 2. The Caps feed was delayed by about 30 seconds so I watched the Pens feed and was really disgusted by what a bunch of hate-mongering homers the Pens announcers are. They constantly discussed Ovie’s lack of sportsmanship, imagined penalties against the Caps that the refs weren’t calling and generally went out of their way to sound like a bunch of ignorant assholes. Ugh!

What bugged me more was that, though the sports bar was almost all Caps fans, the management refused to put the Caps feed on. They also put a Maryland Miami basketball game on the big screen in non-smoking.

Where’d Semin go to in the last 5 minutes? I guess I just didn’t hear his name any longer.

Thought the Caps were two different teams tonight…first team bad, second team good!

Interesting...

to me at least. I watched the game with my father, who was commented in the first about how terrible the caps looked. I thought they looked fine until the penalty of having your opposition clip their own guy up high (I didn’t realize you could be penalized for that! >_>) which, in all fairness, is a real ball-buster. But I kept telling him that Pittsburgh looked equally bad, but he wasn’t listening. Until I made it a point for him to notice that their #1 line had MATT COOKE on it. Really? That’s some real offense depth.
