ECQF Game 5: Columbus Blue Jackets @ Washington Capitals | 3 PM ET | SN, TVAS, NBC, NBCSN

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Is Orlov actually a legit top pairing guy? Because he has seriously impressed me today and that is what his numbers say.

 

[JT Kreider]

Soft f***ing play by Kuzy

 

[Mez]

Huge save!

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Should have been a goal.

 

[quoipourquoi]

What a save.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Why penfans keep saying nonsense all the time?
The only time Crosby "dominated" Ovy when Alex played through injury.

Just tuned in. Shots are 12-0 Jackets in this period? In Washington?

Home teams have not faired well in this series.

Let's compare stats after round 2, shall we?

Ovy 0 cups
Crosby 3

Next

You mean:

Caps 0 cups
Pens 3 cups

Since when did Crosby single-handedly win the cup? 1 v 5? Crosby's team is better than Ovi's. But individually Ovi has generally outplayed Crosby in head-to-head playoff matchups.

We shall, we shall.

 

[Super Hans]

Tied series, tied game, 5 minutes remaining and the place sounds like a morgue.

 

[Randyne]

Ovy 0 cups
Crosby 3

You need follow context:

Caps will win to play against Pits Crosby will dominate Ovy as usual

Scoring less is not appropriate determination of domination.

 

[Mez]

Tied series, tied game, 5 minutes remaining and the place sounds like a morgue.

Its like they expect to lose or something.

 

[GKJ]

Tied series, tied game, 5 minutes remaining and the place sounds like a morgue.

Columbus took it to the Caps most of this period, they were probably just getting annoyed or scared.

Caps coming back a bit here

 

[BlueOil]

washington is going to need a pp, they are not dominant enough 5v5

 

[JeremyTB]

Caps with 1 shot in the 3rd period.

 

[Mez]

Man I really want to cheer for washington....But their fans dont seem worthy...they boo more than they cheer.

 

[Koized]

washington is going to need a pp, they are not dominant enough 5v5

The refs put away the whistles fortunately for Columbus as they committed three blatant penalties in the third.

 

[bukwas]

This series is trying to single handedly save the 1st round for being a total snoozefest.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

f*** off with the Penguins, this is Caps vs Blue Jackets.

 

[justafan22]

4 of 5 games so far have been OT

5 of 6 games last year vs Toronto were OT

Caps have played a crapload of OT hockey the past 4 years.

 

[Castle8130]

Caps look awful, neither team will get out of the second round alive. Super slow game overall.

 

[ujju2]

Man I really want to cheer for washington....But their fans dont seem worthy...they boo more than they cheer.

We've been through a lot of playoff disappointments. Can't really blame us.
