ECQF Game 2: Columbus (WC1) at Washington (1) 7:30 PM ET | SN360, TVAS2, NBCSN, NBCSWA, FS-O

[Hank Plank]

Just tuned in and saw there were four straight powerplays to the Caps in the third. Bad calls? Or Jackets getting overrun/losing composure?

Two late ones were legit, others iffy.

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

Ovechkin 1st career playoff OT goal for the hat trick?

I'm not counting on it. Playoff glory and OV don't mix.

 

[Embryo]

Hmmm I saw this a lot when Torts was with the Rangers...in big playoff games the refs would always f*** us

 

[aufheben]

That would also be the case for the BlueJackets though.

I'm pulling for the Caps, but will pull for CBJ to beat Pitt. I'll pull for anyone, even Brad Marchand, the *****iest player of all, to beat Pitt.

neither of these series are even close to over.

 

[Hank Plank]

Why even pick a Caps player?

I think they'll win the game and early first 10:00.

 

[JeremyTB]

At what point do you just drape a guy on Ovechkin on the PK and voluntarily go 4-3?

Yeah I never understood why they always leave Ovi alone. It's not like he moves around alot on the PP. He stays in one spot for the most part.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Obviously the amount of power plays play into it, but with all of the supposed talent at D for CBJ, how in the heck are they letting up 50+ shots in regulation?

Even the best goalies in their prime would have difficulty winning a game. Bob has let in 4 goals and was saved by the post or very lucky on 2-4 other shots.

NHL doesn't want American coaches winning Stanley Cups

 

[Pengwins]

there isnt gonna be anyone left for overtime unless everyone wants to take an uber

lol the City dont care about this Crap team

 

[hockeykicker]

so what do you do if your a fan at the game tonight? stay and pay extra for the uber or leave now to ensure you get the metro home?

 

[BMOK33]

Backstrom or Dubois

 

[Maylo]

3GI penalties in one game. Yeah right this game is called fairly.

 

[BMOK33]

I find it funny Torts and Trotz are both wearing glasses. I don’t recall either wearing them more than a few years ago unless they had contacts

 

[hockeykicker]

lol the City dont care about this Crap team

its for all teams. the metro just closes regardless of whatever team is playing

huge problem for nats over the years

 

[GoJackets1]

Jenner was a f***ing moron to do that, it wasn't worth it at all. Same with Dubi earlier in the game, dumb penalty. That being said, I can't understand for the life of me how the f*** PLD got a goalie interference penalty. That's insane.

 

[MattMartin]

Overtime winner will be scored by Ovie for the hat trick...Book It!

 

[Dacks]

Free hockey! Here’s hoping to triple OT!

 

[nothingbeatshockey]

NHL doesn't want American coaches winning Stanley Cups

That's a new one.

ask a cute girl for a ride home and youll be fine.....

They're getting old.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Saving money by wasting your money paying for a game you didn't stay for the entirety of is kinda counterproductive

 

[mikeyp24]

I really wish fans would stop saying either team is choking or blowing it... The CBJ have had the most comeacks from 2 down in the league this year and the Caps have just down right capitalized on a CBJ team that has lacked discipline all series. It's both teams playing hard and doing what they do both.

 

[CBJFan19*]

Atkinson for the GW and his hat trick

 

[BMOK33]

They're getting old.

You typically don’t develop the need for distance glasses once you’re beyond 25-30.

Defense is a 5-man unit, and they all have to do what their coaches tell them.
