Let's bury them although realistically it'll probably be a 0-0 first period....unless the rags top pair D is really tired

[mrwarden]

Yeah I kind of want the Sabres too, but I'd also take the Habs...don't really want the Pens yet...if Crosby's going to come back, it'll be against us. Imagine the hype. Don't want any part this year. Just the cup.

The Caps will already have a gameplan for the Sabres. They'll basically have just beaten almost the same team.

[txpd]

hmmm...hadnt heard that the rangers bench had been taunting chimera for not scoring. man....talk about smack blowing up in your face.

[ixcuincle]

Pierre always leans so close into the Caps players

[Berakos]

I'm getting nervous right now.

[Funkyalligator]

Really? And the NHL and NBC considers this a 3 pm start time?

[Ovys Missing Tooth]

Doesn't look like we're playing for a 0-0 1st.

[Funkyalligator]

And we didn't get a pp yet? Hmm

[QuadrupleDeke]

Right on cue.

[ixcuincle]

Capas score!

[mrwarden]

Great, smart play all the way around

[Devil Dancer]

Awesome, super-entertaining start. So much for the crappy afternoon game.

EDIT: Semin only fights Rangers, apparently.

[Funkyalligator]

Dubinsky had better get a penalty for the cross check to laichs head!

[RandyHolt]

thanks girardi

Mr pass gets a quality primary

Loved seeing Semin in the melee and Green helping him out

[Langway]

Hide the water bottles.

[Marshall]

Then Dubinsky and Drury ****** it up after the score.

That's an expensive 4th liner, that's for sure.

[IafrateOvie34]

I am loving this game so far. Semin sticking up for teamates, Green scores, and the NBC crew stunned. Lol, Emmerick was trying hard to keep up with Caps Plays. Priceless.

[Foy]

Going by precedent, Dubinsky should get 21 games, right?

[RandyHolt]

seems like we could have gotten much more than a 2 min PP. They got away with a lot after the goal.

[Liberati0n]

The "Lundqvist" chants.

I believe they are cheering "WE ARE LOUDER!".

[Ovechkins Wodka]

nice to see the caps coming out hard in the 1st and taking a lead

[txpd]

not sure what the rangers thought they were doing gooning it up after a goal. that never goes over well

They were chanting "Lundqvist" before the Louder chant.

Been a great game so far.

Last series where Caps won less in than 7 games was 2006
