Enjoyable and frustrating game to be at. Someone on the boards before the game started mentioned that the Caps get stronger as the game goes along and after the first I was hoping they were wrong.
I was super pumped when Carter scored that OT goal, but now thinking about it, I wonder how a playoff OT would have played out. I think the Caps have a stronger chance if that was a playoff OT with the way they finished the 3rd. Regardless, happy for the 2 pts against the best team in the standings.

2 point game for Lucic.
Really shows you how Kopitar and Carter can play with a legit NHL LW'er.
Over the past few years besides Gaborik, it's been Brown, Pearson, or Penner at LW. Love Pearson, but he was young. Lucic is a legit 1st line LW.

but it's so, so true. Amen, I think I remember reading the Caps get stronger as the game goes on, to the tune of +30 in the third period. We saw it tonight, and even the first time we played them.
Two heavyweights come to do battle, it's gonna look like that. You're not going to dominate the top teams for an entire game. 2 periods is fantastic, 2 periods + OT, I'll take.
I said it before the game but you saw it tonight--time after time after time, sutter gave no ****s about matchups. Ovy out there? Oh well, leave Schenn-McNabb and the fourth line on. Three times I counted before I gave up. It's alright since we're secure, and it's Sutter challenging guys (same with the lack of time outs--save yourselves, guys), but my god it's hilarious.
And honestly, I thought McNabb looked marvelous until towards the end when they really turned the pressure up. He still has a bit to learn, but now that he's cast properly, I have very little problem with him, it's just a less than ideal pairing due to less than ideal personnel (that's on DL, not Sutter).

I found her a bit irritating, she sounds like a country music singer to me.
Great win by the guys! That caps team sure has some firepower, they seemed pretty fast and physical. I wonder if they can maintain that physicality over a playoff series or if it was just for our benefit tonight.
Yeah... JW was frustrating and I'm critical of him for his last year here... but come the **** on... I wouldn't even disrespect him by booing.... I did enjoy his couple of passes to the Kings tonight... thanks!
No mention of Kinger dropping the gloves and taking some swings? He's starting to show some toughness... maybe not Downy Soft anymore...
McNabb/Schenn... it was an adventure at times, but they weren't on the ice for a goal against.
Scuderi was swimming like Scrivens used to on 3 goals... I'm not sure what he was doing wrong... I was dying on the highlight package... oh look Scuderi laying down on the ice... oh look Scuderi falling... oh look Scuderi trying to play goalie... ****..
I have a feeling Caps are going to kick the snot out of NYR this year.
Oh yeah... TOP OF THE WORLD *****ES!!!!
PS: Fox is allowed to show some excitement and cheer for the team occasionally... I didn't hear him cheering over my cheering...

Welp, Carts has broken free of his slump. Toffoli, looking at you, kid.
Guess that means we get Carter as 2C again and move Toffoli up to Kopi's wing

I don't know, there's something that's been irritating me too when she's interviewing someone. Trying too hard or maybe she's not that prepared and trying to come across as someone who is.

I know you guys have mixed emotions about the game considering how poorly you guys played during parts of it (Caps fans are absolutely reacting the same way about how we played on our board), but I just wanted to stop by to say that you guys are clearly the most physical team that the Caps have played all season. Might not even be a close second. Very impressive from a puck possession standpoint (obviously), Doughty is a beast, and imo, you guys are clearly a top 3 team in the league. Good luck going forward Kings fans.

Carter's goal was great, good to see them rescue the point they threw away in the 3rd.
Has been that way for the most part since mid Jan or so. That 1st period is typical and frustrating .
Part of it, this week, that was the CAPS 6th game in 8 nights and both coasts involved. That is catching up to them, something I expected Mon vs the Ducks, given the travel and 5 games in 7 days.
But the lack of intensity is that they seem bored.
They have nothing to play for. it's easy for me, as a hockey fan , or the media to say 'too much lack of intensity' , need to p[lay a full 60, be more motivated, but as a player, I think, it is a mental thing, because they're so far ahead and have been for most of the year.
And they did play a more complete, close to 60 min, effort like the 3rd in the first half of the season. But it's a very dangerous thing to assume that a 'switch' gets flipped when the playoffs start.
SC is the hardest trophy to win in professional sporst, grueling path, and the mental challenge is harder than the physical.
This CAPS team is not the same in years past, a much different composition, esp in the leadership area. I don't see any team in East beating them 4 in 7, esp the Rags who aren't as deep.

Meh. She's improved from last year, all credit to her, but I'd like my interviewers to have some experience (like the rest of the broadcast team does.). This whole casting a terrible interviewer for her looks, then as soon as she goes from terrible to mediocre, she gets replaced by another hot terrible interviewer makes me cringe a bit. I'd like my whole broadcast team to be strong like Bob, Jim, Nick, Darryl, Patrick and Sean.
I don't mind Alex. She tries hard. Just meh.

He has exceeded expectations, which at the time of the deal, were low but you cannot argue with what he has done to date.
Here's to hoping it continues into the playoffs.
Guess that means we get Carter as 2C again and move Toffoli up to Kopi's wing
I am guessing that was goign to happen as soon as they go on the road anyway. Right now they control matchups.
thanks..if the flyers do not get in I will be cheering for the caps out East

CAN I GET A CALL ON THE LADIE'S LINE?
sadly, this was the high point of So Cal hockey (& sports) radio. - it was 20 years ago, and it had to come from San Diego!
I wouldn't mind DS trying Vinny on right wing (VL dislikes playing left wing) a bit with JC at center. I can see him on the boards dishing pucks all day to Jeff and Tanner. Also hides his lack of footspeed better and allows TT to get going on the Kopitar line.
If that works (and it may not) that's two really tough scoring lines.
