- Recaps and other assorted musings on last night’s overtime (!) win from us, Caps365 video (Boudreau, players), Vogs, NHL.com (Masisak, Robinson), WashTimes (Whyno: gamer), CI (Carrera: gamer, blog), CSN Washington (Gormley; Beninati: blog), DCEx (McNally), 106.7 The Fan (Kerstein), Peerless, Frankovic, SB Nation DC, DSP, RMNB, RLS (#fancystats), RtR, and Rocking the Red in Pittsburgh.
- Of course the true excitement of the night was not Dennis Wideman‘s overtime game winner, but Jay Beagle‘s probably ill-advised decision to accept Arron Asham‘s invitation to dance (as if he had a choice):
- First it got scary. [Hockeyfights, Puck Daddy, NHL.com (Masisak), PensBlog]
- Then it got ugly. [DC Sports Bog, PHT, TSN (video, and again)]
- And then it got weird. [CW (Whyno), Puck Daddy, RMNB, CSNW (Gormley), Hockey Writers (Colligan)]
- The game began, as promised, with the ceremonial faceoff between Evgeni Malkin and Alex Ovechkin, and bonus ceremonial puck-dropper Mario Lemieux… [NHL.com (video), CW Whyno)]
- …and the game-worn jerseys with the special Loko patches are available at auction… [Shop NHL]
- … Tomas Vokoun‘s sweater might be a good choice. [WashTimes (Whyno)]
- Dirrty. [KOL]
- Hiya, handsome. [Caps OT]
- Finally: “Good morning, good afternoon, and good night Pittsburgh!” [Caps OT (@WaltonCaps audio)]
