Yeah, but I don't think either of us want to lose the next game or we'll get really difficult to live with.

i thought for sure the caps were going to steal a game that they were soundly out played in. wu letang crew to the rescue. thank god malkin woke up

Penalty minutes: Caps - 12:51, Pens - 2:38 …. No more whining from the 'burgh.

hahaha…caps have combated supposed whining from the pens…by whining. priceless

a good way to take fewer penalties is to not get outplayed

&quot;even more difficult&quot;.

I can't speak for Sonick, but I'm an absolute delight most of the time.

note to Caps fans: More penalty minutes usually equals being outplayed, not the refs appealing to post game griping.

I noticed last night that every time Carolina was called for a penalty the fans chanted "ref you suck", same thing that happens in D.C.  Its just showing your ignorance for the game.

Oh snap!

Caps got totally outworked and outplayed last night.  A heroic effort by Varlamov but not enough to steal it. 

Yet one more one goal home team win.  Series is right where it should be at this point.  No one is really ahead in a series until someone wins a road game.  Will we see the 4th one goal home team win tomorrow night?  That remains to be seen.  I just wish Alex would learn some class and respect for the game he is so skilled at.

I asked him the same thing the other day when has said OV had no class and no respect for the game.

I never got an answer.

But he saw The Beatles so I guess he doesn't have to.

FYI - the NHL Network is picking up Sunday's Anaheim-Detroit game, which, until this announcement, was only going to be available in SoCal and the Detroit area, or those with the Center Ice Package.

Nice! I have center ice, but they really haven't shown any games in HD during the playoffs, so this is an upgrade.

Not to mention the NHL Network's HD signal is broadcast in 1080, not 720 like the Fox Regional Sports Network.  It makes a huge difference in Hockey and other fast moving sports.

This is good for mankind.

Stay classy, Pens fans.

True, although I do love my FSN Detroit announcers, so it's a fair trade-off in my opinion. But I completely agree with the benefits of 1080 coming to the forefront in hockey.
