Anderson isn’t a good goalie. But you have to get shots and traffic

The Buffalo effect.

Devils looked even more cooked than I would've thought ... even if Hughes was healthy that forward group just has so many holes

 

[Calicaps]

Go Sens Go!

 

[Calicaps]

UGH... Buccigross is terrible PBP man. Woof.

 

[DWGie26]

Go Sens Go!

I love seeing Toronto go down! GoSensGo

That was a quick strike. nice work!

OK Ottawa… don’t be NJ and wilt.

 

[DWGie26]

Just realized last year i set Xfinity DVR to record all playoff games and it stuck. yeah me.

Also, I find it very ironic that Easter and 4/20 is the same day this year. I celebrated both!

So you got this game?

Good to see Ottawa score! Almost had another.

I spent some money... Sling had a 3 months for $100 offer. (1/3 of what Hulu wanted) Figured it was worth it to have certain coverage all the way through free agency.

Dave Jackson is the most useless officiating analyst ever. “Well could be a penalty, maybe not, let’s see what they say”

This whole ESPN crew is horrendous. They're so bad I can't believe the network actually put them on the air.

Suban going nuclear over the reffing in Toronto favor.

Suban going nuclear over the reffing in Toronto favor.

He's not wrong. Some very soft calls.

But also Ullmark is ungood.

 

[notDkristich]

Ottawa looks bad. 30th in scoring 5v5 and it shows in the playoffs. Only watched part of the game and every time I turned it on Toronto was on the PP. woof

 

[Calicaps]

Sens with some high-quality gooning here late.

Career playoff stats before tonight:

That crew tries way too hard with the hockey bro talk. Brutal listen

 

[Kazer]

Ottawa should seriously consider starting Leevi Merilainen for game 3 if they go down 2-0. He was awesome during their hot stretch. It reminds me a little of 2011-12 when the Caps started Holtby over Vokoun and Neuvirth. At least the Caps didn't have Vokoun signed for 4 more years at 8.25 AAV.

No team scares me more than Washington themselves. Since February 1 no playoff team has given up more goals against than them (3.40 coming into tonight's finale). If they can't find their way against Montreal they realistically weren't going to do it against anyone.

Montreal is certainly capable of up-ending them. Suzuki has been red hot. Caufield & Laine are a couple of guys that can do damage in scramble plays. Washington needs to tighten up in a hurry and you wonder if they're capable of quickly taking charge and commanding the game to that extent. We'll see if they have the sense, focus, discipline and execution to go out and do it. There's little doubting their intensity and resilience. They should have an experience advantage, though I'm unsure if it's that decisive given there's more pressure on them as hosts. I sort of expect a hot mess of a series and we'll see if they're still standing at the end of it.

Sounds about right. Glass half empty, as it’s been for a while for you.

I’m thinking they may change that narrative.

We will see. They could easily be “same old Caps”…..but I don’t think so.

 

[Calicaps]

How was that not interference?

 

[PlushMinus]

So do the Devils win a game vs. Canes? Or could the Canes choke that series away?

I watched the whole game and the Devils looked completely outmatched. And check out Markstrom's numbers:

If not for him the Devils might have lost by 8.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Canes sweep.

 

[PlushMinus]

Awful goaltending by Ullmark. Between him and the stupid penalties Ottawa didn't stand a chance.

Stolarz has been lights out for the Leafs this season. They finally have decent goaltending. Wonder if this is the year when the Leafs actually go on a deep run? They looked good in this game and I think Ottawa are going to struggle.
