Pregame Notes:
- I don’t have to tell you guys, but todays game is huge for the Caps. How huge? Huge huge. And to understand the scale of huge huge, think sextuplet preggers huge.
- Semin is playing great as of late, especially with Backstrom at center. The two have great and are very dynamic together, expect another high production night for their line.
- Ove, is well passed due in terms of goals, we’ve seen Ove go through a scoring drought in mid-Feburary but he’s too good of a scorer to only have 1 goal in a series. Expect to see Ovie light the lamp tonight.
- Will the Flyers come out hard tonight and get back to the aggressive forecheck that was so successfull for them in games 1-4, or will they come out passive like in game 5?
- Can the Caps finally keep Briere off the stat sheet?
- Will the Caps continue to get in front of Biron on the PP which has been hot as of late?
- Hip Hip Huet!! I’m sorry I called for your head earlier. Can Huet continue making the big saves in the clutch?
1st Period
- :30 Great early chance by Semin on net. An early one goal lead would of been huge huge.
- 2:59 Bradley gets called for interference.
- 3:49 Costly penalty, Flyers score on a lucky bounce off the backboard, but still, a forward should have had the backdoor closed none the less.
- According to the guys on comcast, the team that scores 1st wins 70% of the time in th playoffs.
- 5:00 What a great save by Huet, he stayed man with the puck and bailed out the two defenseman who were burned on the play.
- 7:20 Caps are giving the puck up in their defensive zone again, not a good sign for a Caps victory.
- 8:50 What a great scoring chance for Ove. He can smell that next goal coming to him soon.
- 13:00 Caps PP. Upshaw called for tripping Fedorov. Bit of a dive on Fedorov’s part, but we’ll take it.
- 13:30 What a great hit by Green.
- 14:00 Bad PP by the Caps, they never really got setup on the offensive zone and got only one shot off.
- 16:30 Another PP for the Caps, hopefully they can do something with this one.
- 18:30 What the hell is Poti crashing the net on the PP? I guess he’s been watching Green play too much.
2nd Period
- 1:20 Goal by Briere. It’s official, Caps=Briere’s bitch
- Another too many men penalty. The basics boys, the basics.
- 3 interfence penalties against the Flyers. The Caps need to convert this.
- 9:30 GOAL. What great passing by the Semin-Backstrom-Laich line. There’s still some life left in the Caps. 2-1
- Another GOAL!!! Semin-Backstrom-Laich line again. This time its Semin. Bad rebound on Birons part. 2-2 all even.
- Caps are really pouring the pressure on the Flyers and its paying off. The Flyers are looking a little dead on the ice.
3rd Period
- :30 The greatest sound any goalie can hear is the ping of the goal post. Caps need to lock down the slot, if they want to prevent another chance like that.
- 2:45 OVIE!!!!! We all new it was going to happen today!!! What a great pass by Kozlov to put Ovie on the breakaway. 3-2 Caps.
- 5:47 Caps PP. Let’s get some insurance.
- A bad series of penalties by the Caps. Flyers will be on the 4 on 3 and the 5 on 3 PP when their penalty expires. Time for the defense to step it up.
- 9:15 Great plays by the PPK team. Could prove to be the pivotal stretch in the series.
- 10:41 GOAALLL!!! OVIE again. What a great PP goal. Assist by Fedorov and Laich. 4 unanswered goals. The pressure is officially on the Flyers for the rest of the series.
- Game over, Caps win 4-2. Game 7 tomorrow.
