In the Ovi era I think it's the first time that the Caps enter the playoffs with a lot of big names injured (and I mean really injured not just banged up)
Ovechkin, Carlson, Backstrom, Oshie, Schultz + Kuznetsov all of them were injured and/or not skating in the past 2-3 weeks.
And guys you need to stop with the blow and turtle. Ok English is not my mother tongue but it's not a "blow up" that I saw by the Caps in G2 and G3. A PP goal and a scrum in front of the goalie.
It's just a coin flip game.
IIRC neither team had a 2 goal lead in a game so far.
It's back and forth
This series could be 3-0 or 2-1 or 1-2 or 0-3
Caps don't have the puck luck.
3 games - 3 OT games
BTW, I wouldn't be too optimistic if I were a B's fan. They're playing a coin flip OT hockey with an old injured team for the 3rd straight game. If they make it to the 2nd round, PIT and even Trotz will destroy them in 5 games. And I don't even talk about teams like CAR COL or VGK
And yes. F*** you NHL with that start time. If it was a 1.07 AM start as usual I'd watch this game on replay this morning. But that -30 minutes was appealing.
Slept only 3-4 hours.
