When did Ovie get his teeth fixed?

What's he saying? I turned it off to calm down.

I still am angry at Backstrom kneeing Letang in the back of the head.

Will the DoPeS look at that?

Murray is one of the most technically sound goalies I think I've ever watched play. He is rarely out of position, rarely goes down when he shouldn't.

Something smarter than the NBC Clowns.

Pens sat back too much and need to play better. He likes having Fleury on the bench because he talks to him every TV timeout and is a great mentor to him. Reiterated that they need to play better.

Just super calm and cool as always.

Letang shouldn't be suspended.
This hit matches the Tom Wilson hit. I bet they are the same time in terms of how late they were... both were "major" penalties. Letang got called, Wilson did not. Wilson got a fine.

If Crosby stops playing like a fifth liner, there is no Washington comeback

Thanks. I love that part of what he said completely contradicted what Milbury and Edzo were clamoring on about before the game (Fleury being on the bench).

It's tough to beat this caps team back to back.
This is a huge win. Caps adjusted to the two awful periods in game 2, now its the penguins coaching staff chance to adjust. To get a win in a game like this, when it's obvious the caps found some things to exploit is huge. I'm not even sure the Pens had their legs tonight, hopefully they seize the opportunity this game has given them in game 4.

Ugh, and now the thunder starts outside. I might as well just stay up all night.

Postby **Silentom** » Mon May 02, 2016 11:09 pm

Shoot, thunder puts me right to sleep.

c2i, everyone, well done. Goodnight!

< thud! passed out >

If Letang is suspended our power play will go 4 for 5. And we'll need every one of them to win.

Postby **PFiDC** » Mon May 02, 2016 11:22 pm

The coaching staff will have to win game 4.

More of the Letang hit.

I say he gets a fine, but no suspension... which causes internet riots everywhere. Hit was just barely late (.63 vs the .6), Johansson came back to the game. Letang's main point of contact SEEMS to be somewhere between the chin & the shoulder - as in, he seems to hit the chin initially but drives through to the shoulder, showing it wasn't necessarily his intent (this whole sentence is odd for me to read too, don't worry; I can't get my thought across). Letang is also not officially a repeat offender.

Though, I think it warrants a game. Just trying to judge it as the league would (so I should get a dartboard out).

Who has the Wheel of NHL Player Safety handy?

Postby **willeyeam** » Mon May 02, 2016 11:36 pm

I think if the Orpik hit didn't happen he'd get away with a fine. I'm afraid they'll try to even it up and give him more than he deserves

Postby **TheHammer24** » Tue May 03, 2016 12:13 am

We should be consistent. It's not a good hit, and it is a hit that we don't want in the game. That lots of other people get away with it is not justification for Letang getting away with it. That argument is what we complained about before the Orpik suspension. I'm fine with a 1-game suspension here. I hope he doesn't get it.

Postby **King Colby** » Tue May 03, 2016 12:14 am

Came here to post exactly what Willeyeam just said. If that hit happens in a vacuum theres no suspension. He will get a game to stop the crying

Refs really want this to be close. Called icing well before the puck crossed the goal line

Yeah I noticed there were a good four or five calls like that, all in the Caps' favor. Whistle blew with the puck a good 8-10 feet from the goal line.
