Apologies for the delay, but I had to watch a bunch of Bruins fans in kilts (which is totally cool) at the Dropkick Murphys show at the 9:30 Club after the game. They didn't play it, but I do wish there was a Capitals equivalent for their song "Time to Go."

Shot 1: First, Steven Oleksy hits and looks like Pat Sajak's plan will come together because...

Shots 2-4: ...next, he scores!

Shot 5: But, then,... Sigh.

Shot 7: "Let's do that thing where we score. Hey! Hey! Are you listening to me?"

Shot 12: Anticipation is sometimes more fulfilling.

Shot 13: Eric Fehr almost always looks angry when he has the puck. In a really good way.

Shot 16: This just hurts.

Shot 18: This is not the clearly diagrammed play you were looking for.
