Joel Wards double minor against the Rags. We win that series without that penalty.

I think Petr Nedved's 4OT goal should be on here somewhere. That broke the series and I think that Caps team could have gone as far as in '97.
I'd hate to lend credence to the idea that all Caps hfboards posters are semi-closeted sadists, but I ran into a half-hour of that 1996 ECQF Game 4 on youtube. Watching dead-puck-era playoff hockey after a steady diet of new-NHL regular season hockey is mind-blowing.. OMG! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!! THESE ARE ALL PENALTIES!!! EVERYTHING'S A ****ING PENALTY!!
Hear that. I just got the Caps 10 greatest game DVD and watched a few of those older games and it was exactly as you say. Night and day difference
Please. Stop. This is too painful.
Really.
I was at the Nedved game, watched the replay many times - still no idea where that puck went in. It just did.
