GDT: ECQF: Game 1 - Washington Capitals vs Montreal Canadiens, 7pm ET

[Sparky]

Caps don't really get going most games until they're down one or two, let's see if they can skip that here.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Montembeault is locked in. This is a Habs win guys.

You could be right. There does feel like a weathering the storm element here.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Goalie robbed him and showed it to him

If its Phil Kessel vs Caps in playoffs im fine with it

...nevermind, hot dog reference...

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Caps making a bit of a mockery of this first Montreal PP chance.

 

[JoeyBeans]

Why is the worst team in the playoffs getting coverage on all sportsnet channels over the presidents trophy winner?

you know why

 

[BMOK33]

After just a half period I still think MTL wins a couple of games this series but minute chance they win it unless the goaltending is crazy good

It's the only game on right now is my guess.

 

[Gravity]

Why is the worst team in the playoffs getting coverage on all sportsnet channels over the presidents trophy winner?

Because they got even more primetime coverage on CBC.

 

[Booker T]

I thought Ovi had that for sure

 

[kwichang]

Ovie with a wide open look there - whew, missed it!

 

[notbias]

Is Montreal the softest team in the playoffs? Maybe the Canes, but they play hard...

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Ovechkin 39 going on 55

Man’s aged with the grace of goat milk

 

[Domonsky]

Can the linesman just drop the damn puck!!! Jeez!!!

Only Habs and Leafs matter. They and the Oilers are the ones who bring in the viewers.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

His mother is watching.

 

[Summer Rose]

What a turnover. Montembeault totally bailed his team out there.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

It's the only game on right now is my guess.

And you would be wrong. Sportsnet wants Habs games if Leafs aren't playing.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

HORRIBLE turnover...

And Montembeault bails out his Habs!

 

[Bouboumaster]

Washington is kicking our ass, and we are one Montembeault away of total disaster

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

And you would be wrong. Sportsnet wants Habs games if Leafs aren't playing.

...WInnipeg is on CBC...that's why...

 

[AirGut]

Montembeault looking very good here

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

What a turnover. Montembeault totally bailed his team out there.

I think we were posting in stereo...haha

 

[AD1066]

What a turnover. Montembeault totally bailed his team out there.

Thankfully it landed on the stick of a guy who averages 15 points a season.

 

[Chaos2k7]

The longer this goes scoreless favors the Habs IMO

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Caps dominating early in this one. Despite the Habs PP, the Caps lead the expected goals 1.13 to 0.25
