[Steazy Doo]

I'm in DC so it's blacked out.

Thoughts and prayers

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

10 goals for Kunitz is one more than he had in 71 games for Pittsburgh last year.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Oh man what a beautiful defensive play by Heddy against Ovi!!

 

[Stormbreaker]

Vladdy's left hand hurting

 

[Brie]

We're falling back to much now which is expected since we knew that the caps wouldn't just back down. Need to go back and play like we did in the 1st but now it's PK time and we have to be careful and work hard on it.

 

[rangerrat]

Need a kill here, don't give them any life!!

 

[Fabiobest]

 

[The Macho King]

Ugh nice shot. Hedman is having himself a game though.

 

[Brie]

Come on now, wake up.

We can't sleep on a lead, we've done it before and lost.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Looked like Coburn might have screened Vasy on that PP goal.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Its crazy how active Yzerman is. According to all reports, we are litteraly the top contender for ALL the big name defensemen at the deadline. Fun times.

Eh sometimes you just have to give credit for a nice shot.

True. That was a good shot. Unfortunately.

well 99% of it is the smokescreen anyway

 

[Shoresy Snipes]

All part of the secret Jedi game plan

 

[Flat Ronnie]

TSN 1050: Darren Dreger was on the radio and he was asked what will the Tampa Bay Lightning do at the NHL trade deadline? Dreger feels the Lightning will go hard after Ryan McDonagh and will kick tires on Rick Nash. Dreger also feels the Toronto Maple Leafs will target McDonagh but not sure the Leafs will pay the price the Rangers are asking.

 

[Brie]

This time of the year is kinda stressful so I'm trying to focus on hockey and let the rest happen and it happens, even if it is fun to speculate it can become to much at times.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Nice save!

 

[Fabiobest]

End of the second!
This period shows how it's important NOT to take any penalties against teams like Capitals.
In the third period we've to remember this thing.

 

[Brie]

Not as good of a period as our 1st one was but Vasy was solid which is good, need to focus and work hard in the 3rd though to get back on track.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

That was a fast, wild period!!

 

[Lightning1995]

Vassy saving the day again.

Pretty poor effort in the 2nd overall.

Let’s see what they are made of in the 3rd.

 

[Powerplay17]

Unfortunately a predictable 2nd period. Need a much better 3rd.

 

[gg720fla]

They were amazing in the first , hustling , forechecking and nice passing. Looks like they went back to cruise mode in the second and were scrambling to get the puck out of their end. Caps dominated the last of that period. Got to come out for the third like the first.

 

[Brie]

We didn't have any SOGs in the 2nd which we need to change now and not put this whole game on Vasy but instad help him out.
