The Caps looked like hell in the first two periods and were lucky to get the win. The shot by Wilson in OT was about as good as it gets.
With their size and speed, and the fact that they're loaded with cup experience, they should roll over Toronto. Ovechkin had one shot on goal the entire game. I hope the best team in hockey shows up tonight.
I've only caught the 3rd period tonight, and it looked like Backstrom was going to continue his annual Playoff Houdini disappearing act until he got the equalizer. Nice to see him contribute. Caps still getting worked in the faceoff circle. I'd like to see them go to Toronto 2-0.
And totally agree about Marchand. He must be a buddy of Shanny's. Guys like Marchand were fewer and farther in between when there were guys like Bob Probert on the prowl.
