Caps didn't deserve it with that first.

That pass have too much heat for Carlson?

 

[JoVel]

Great game Capitals! Respect!

ONE MORE WIN!

Five more wins.

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

Sucks to be a Caps fan!

 

[PromisedLand]

sorry cap fans but is OFFICIAL Carlson ABSOLUTELY SUCKS! ruined it for you guys

 

[BelovedIsles]

He was definitely more "noticable". I'm sure he's doing a great job in this series as well, hard working shift after shift, shutting down plays. It's just that I don't see him making plays, throwing hits or even put a shot at the net. Well, except for that game winner..

He’s been pretty invisible in all facets IMHO. Again the first two series’ he was his usual self, involved.

 

[domaug]

my goodness, what an end to that game. holy shit.

i hate the Caps but i can't knock them in this series no matter what they do. they are leaving it all on the ice.

 

[Sentinel]

Had Carlson one-timed it...

 

[jj cale]

Big big win for tampa, wow.

as much as I am not the biggest fan of Romanuk(though I don't think he is as terrible as everyone says he is) I really liked the line he used there at the end for vasilevsky................"and vasilevsky with the grandiose save!!'

lol.....................not bad Romy!!

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

OV loves to show up in garbage time of losing games.

 

[SlimCharles]

Caps...

 

[dechire]

Yes Emerick. Teams with a 3-0 lead tend to get outshot. Amazing observation.

 

[22FUTON9]

f***ing one time the puck Carlson you f***ing idiot

Him and Kempny are pissing me off so much

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Did Kuznetsov think there was another 15 minutes left to play? Dicking around with the puck with less than 10 seconds to go helped kill the clock.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Nice block by Girardi at the end there. Wow! This is going 7.

 

[Panthaz89]

TB won but they really need to not play so soft with a lead. Lack of any pursuit was killing them in the last 5.

 

[dragonballgtz]

Yzerman calm, cool, and collective while watching the game.

 

[the_fan]

If Carlson one times that it's a goal

 

[Porkleaker]

lol Carlson, let's settle this puck down and take our time with a wide open net with seconds left in a 3-2 game.....Just wow, smooth.

 

[Bens300]

Handshakes at home

 

[Crosstraffic]

Please kick Milbury off of color!

 

[Cloned]

People are going to rag on Orlov but Carlson was Mr. Unclutch the last three games.

 

[DearDiary]

my goodness, what an end to that game. holy ****.

i hate the Caps but i can't knock them in this series no matter what they do. they are leaving it all on the ice.

Leaving it on the ice... playing perimeter hockey? Nobody on the Caps is going to the dirty areas to screen or tap in rebounds. Sorry, but you're not giving 100% effort when you're not driving the net

 

[missionAvs]

Turtle job by the Bolts at the end there but they got the W.

 

[God King Fudge]

TB won but they really need to not play so soft with a lead. Lack of any pursuit was killing them in the last 5.

They've managed to get 3 of a required 4 wins playing that way. Meh

 

[illpucks]

f*** Tampa. Will suffer the same fate as to Penguins in 2016. Their 3-2 lead in the ECF was also goodnight to the Pens.
