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.

Caps face off performance was worse than woeful, and is just another symptom of a team that cannot perform in the playoffs. How do you lose to a team with just 4 defensemen? Good to see Backstrom in the mix but they need to find a way to get it past Andersen. He's playing crazy good.

Bob Probert....that brings back fond memories. No one messed with Yzerman because they knew how it would end. Too bad the enforcer isn't a part of the game today. Guys like Marchand would have their ugly faces rearranged like they so richly deserve.
