Last night was everything I hoped it would be except for the pasting of Kadri by Wilson (or anyone else). Had they been up by two goals we may have seen it. Kadri and Ovi were jawing the entire game.

That hit on Ovechkin was low by intention and he was lucky not to be injured to the point of missing games. If that hit happens in Toronto, it's play on. In DC, it was 2 minutes. He should have gotten five.

The Caps better find a way to win face offs or it will be a short series vs. Pitt. They will also need to find some speed and put more of their shots on net. Holtby will also need to be on his best game as the Pens just keep coming at ya.

Absolutely...get the forecheck rolling, keep Crosby on his pockets and play in their end, which starts by winning faceoffs.
