7:15:44 PM: Underway at MSG. C! A! P! S! CAPS! CAPS! CAPS!
7:20:45 PM: I’m in full away-game watching regalia. (pjs and jersey) – going to make the intermission beer run fun http://twitpic.com/3sreg
7:21:16 PM: The crowd wants blood at MSG. Already with the “asshole” chants.
7:30:51 PM: Caps got away with one and are now on the powerplay. They need to bury one here or momentum
7:31:52 PM: And… Jut as quickly Semin is off to the box and we are 4 on 4.
7:40:00 PM: Varly’s shutout streak ends seconds after a huge save. Rags up 1-0.
7:46:05 PM: Fedorov rings the crossbar with a monster slapshot.
7:54:21 PM: Intermission beer run!
8:04:22 PM: (and tuna and lines and bread and crackers)
8:05:15 PM: I mean limes. Seriously, Apple? Limes can’t be a word?
8:16:38 PM: A bit behind realtime now.
8:18:37 PM: Dammit. Badly fumbles a catch and we are down 2-0.
8:24:19 PM: Now is apparentlythe part where Lundy stands on his head.
8:41:37 PM: Caps doing an okay job of pressuring but nothing like Monday. Shame we can’t get back to back solid games.
8:45:25 PM: Caps are another 20 minutes of lackluster effort away from having to win 3 in a row. At least two of them would be at home?
8:46:03 PM: seriously, looks like a different team from Monday.
8:54:33 PM: Caps were not awful that period. Just not getting breaks. Rags getting the right bounces… Caps getting the opposite.
8:55:23 PM: LOL: RT @OnFrozenBlog: “it starts with a good dump” – Matt Bradley during intermission …. wise words on more than one level #caps
9:05:53 PM: Rangers pressuring well. Caps really need a quick goal here.
9:06:22 PM: And there it is. Alex Ovechkin breaks his playoff drought.
9:07:11 PM: AO uses his patented move of using the d-man as a screen. Beautiful.
9:09:32 PM: That goal seems to have fired up the Caps. Rags on their heels a little bit.
9:12:49 PM: Caps are dominating on the shot count again. 31-18 at this point. Oddly, Rags are dominating faceoffs for the first time this series.
9:18:33 PM: Sean Avery is a punk. He swings that trailing arm around far too much heading into the boards. This should be a double-minor for sure…
9:20:46 PM: and of course… Refs give him 2 for roughing. Should have been 4 for high-sticking.
9:22:24 PM: OV rang the post. Hate that noise when we’re shooting.
9:22:54 PM: AND THE BULLSHIT TICKYTACK call. MFers.
9:23:41 PM: Where was the crosschecking call. Effing zebras.
9:23:59 PM: and MSG staff buys the Rags some rest.
9:29:15 PM: Caps kill the penalty and push up ice, but Lundy comes up huge (again)
9:29:55 PM: (btw, I need an online stream for the hawks/flames game tonight)
9:33:12 PM: I will pay cash money for someone to break Avery’s legs. No I’m not kidding. #caps
9:35:12 PM: Rags are too good on a penalty kill…
9:39:33 PM: Caps now have to win the rest of the games to get out of the series alive. Back to DC on Friday.
Remind me when hockey season is over so I can re-add you to twitter?
Doesn’t look like that will be too much longer for the Caps, but I’ll probably forget to remind you.
