Congrats Matt, what a game. Nothing like tired and bloodied Hockey players.

Still a long way to go here. Really a great game on both sides, didn't have the feel of a 1-1 game.

i saw an article the other day, during the first round, where a writer called the caps/bruins games 'boring' because it was low-scoring. seriously? that round, and this one, has been anything but boring to me. you know something can happen at any time, with players working their tails off to make a difference. he's probably one of those who likes high-scoring, zero defense football games. i hate those games!
i think he was a yahoo sports writer, so that probably explains a lot.

Most of those guys have no clue. He probably didn't even watch the game and saw 1-1 score and wrote an article assuming that it was a boring game. The only thing that game didn't have last night was a lot of whistles slowing down the pace of the game. Otherwise it was a well played exciting game, that guy had no idea what he's talking about. I sat at the end of the couch for the last 4 periods.

On a side note, I'm kind of suprised that the series hasn't been very chippy. Not a lot of pushing and shoving after the whistles. It's almost like these teams have tremendous respect for each other.

[Danzig]

i'm sure part of the lack of pushing and shoving is no one wants to get a penalty and give the other team a power play. it's so close and even, the slightest mistake can cost you more than a goal, it can cost you the game. i love their self-control, regardless of the physicality.
been a great post season this year imo. last year i was so sick about the sweep by tampa that i didn't watch another game. been far more enjoyable for me this year.

A Caps fan tried to take a shot of whiskey to feel better last night but it was blocked by Ryan Callahan.
