Probably didn't expect Boughner to be dumb enough to play Erik Karlsson trying to defend a lead late in the 3rd...me neither

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

6 on 3 for Russia?

Nope ouch refs

Russia choking hard

Canada doing their best Caps impression now...

 

[searle]

Holy shit how was that not a penalty??

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Wow the refs absolutely just gifted the game to Canada. How awful

 

[Sam Spade]

Really happy for McMichael. Winning culture is so important. CMM played great in this game as well.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Wow the refs absolutely just gifted the game to Canada. How awful

And that's why I no longer watch those Jr games. Last year I only watched two, this year none.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

At least Pell didn't delete her tweet like the Sharks guy did.

So who else turned the game off after the 4th shorks goal?

Glad I checked the forums, was able to see the OT winner.

I fell asleep on the couch on a lazy afternoon and missed the whole comeback

 

[shtorm2005]

Watched Russia-Canada instead, it was wrong game to watch.

 

[Ms Maggie]

Pens fan here, clearly not the outcome I was hoping for. But WOW! You didn't get a kick out of that finish, you aren't a hockey fan! I actually burst out laughing. Never say die fellas!

 

[John Price]

I'll always remember being in the bathroom in the 400's when Couture scored the EN goal and then watching the rest of the regulation on TV in the 400's

(never use the bathroom during intermission or after a game, immediately)

 

[stanleycaps18]

Well, that was fun.

Oh no, the concussions have taken their toll.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Perhaps he's joking but with his concussion history and his father's cognative impairment (family history), that makes me sad.

Hope I'm blowing it out of proportion.

Watching it on the Caps twitter feed, I noticed he seemed to be sniffing a lot when he inhaled, like he has a blocked nose, which I haven’t noticed Oshie do before in interviews. It could be, therefore, that he’s sick? We know he’s linemate Kuzy is, and something’s been doing the rounds. For the most part of the interview he seemed coherent and logical, with a couple of moments where he seemed a little out of it.

There’s also the fact he was punched in the head last game...

 

[Capsman]

This x1000. He is playing some of his worst hockey in a long long time

According to some people, playing a 1 pm game against a non-conference opponent in January is justification enough.

 

[AussieCapsFan]

I was guilty of switching off after the empty net goal by Couture, so I had to go back and re-watch. And I'm glad they won, I really am.

But I really hope the coaching staff sit them down and say it should never have come to that. Because while I think the team played reasonably well up to the empty netter (or let's say it wasn't their worst effort recently), the Sharks are not a good team and they were playing their 3rd game in 4 days. Our guys should have won that game without needing to resort to some ridiculous "first time in 15 years" fluke. And I try more than a lot of folks around here to not go the doom and gloom route, but I don't think this victory is one where we all pat each other on the back and say
"Hey, how about our team!! They can win every which way imaginable!" (even though they, err, can, and did).
