Win or lose, you certainly got your money's worth. In another 5 minutes and change, you would have sat through two complete games. The goaltending was borderline miraculous. The Caps were so dominant early that if the Rangers had a mortal in the net instead of King Henry, four or five goals could have been scored before the second period was half over. And the kid, Holtby, was also fabulous. Great, great game!

I had two buddies over to watch it on my 70" Sharp Aquos, which makes you feel like you're rinkside. One guy crapped out after one overtime, the other left after the second. Mrs. Truth, who is only an occasional fan, was riveted by the action and stayed up until the end. She even started echoing my screams of "Get the puck out of here!" when it seemed like the Caps were on a perpetual power play in the Rangers' end. I haven't seen her that excited since our wedding night ever.

I yell that too! I was yelling “Get a handle on Yandel!” last night, much to my husband’s chagrin. And when my favorite player was called for a penalty as they announced it, ‘Two Minutes to Martin Erat for’ - I yelled BEING AWESOME!! Everyone around us roared.

are you kidding? it was the RANGERS on nonstop powerplay in OUR end! the guys behind me kept say, why does it feel like we are killing a penalty??? xshub asked me if i wanted to leave after the second OT ended, bc he knows what time i have to get up, and i said no, we can’t possibly leave now. Bret and his wife left at some point during the third period, i didn’t see them go, but just noticed at one point they were gone.
