I just turned on my teevee and am gratified to see those surprisin' Habs are ahead of those disappointin' Caps... 2 - 1. Ovechkin got his FIRST shot on goal in the series just as I tuned in. Who'd a thunk it?
Heh. Go Habs!
Update, 1835 hrs: Good Grief. The wheels are coming off the Caps' wagon. 4 - 2, Montreal. Washington scores as we type... with 1:37 left in the second. There's still a lot o' hockey to be played but it sure ain't lookin' good for Washington.
Update, 1901 hrs: Caps turn up the heat... Ovechkin gets a goal to bring Washington within one. This is GOOD stuff!
Update, 1915 hrs: We have a hockey game. Backstrom ties it with a pass from #8. Three unanswered goals...
Update, 1925 hrs: Montrealties it takes the lead. This is intense; Caps to go on the power play after the teevee time-out. Wow.
Update, 1932 hrs: My Bad on my last... Montreal took the lead, but the Caps tie it with 1:32 left in the third. Seven seconds left... we WILL have overtime!
Update, 1952 hrs: That didn't take long... Backstrom gets the winner and a hat trick 31 seconds in; Caps win. The series is tied, but what an effort on Montreal's part!
Heh. Go Habs!

Watching period 2 right now. 3-1!!! As we speak!
ReplyDeleteAnd Halak is playing like he understands what it means to be a goalie in Montreal.
ReplyDeleteYeah... and wasn't that last goal a beauty?
ReplyDeleteWow. Just... wow.
This looooong review just says "League is trying really hard - nemmind, just got that "reviewing a previous play" explanation. Tin foil hat back in the closet.
ReplyDeleteSERIOUSLY intense in there
ReplyDeleteHeh. Tin foil hats are ALL the rage. I know you prolly don't read A to Y at Kukla's Korner, but there were over 1500 comments on the live-blog of last nite's Wings game... a great deal of which revolved around Wings fans wearing tin foil hats. Heh.
ReplyDeleteYup: intense. The third will be MOST interesting!
ReplyDeleteI was on the live blog at Mile High Hockey all night. Too much fun. I have officially initiated the nickname "Galiardicus" for TJ Galiardi (Playing like a gladiator), and it is catching on.
ReplyDelete1800 plus comments over there last night. I guess that's what OT will get you.
I hear ya about too much fun... I read the A2Y comments this morning after the fact. Had Buck not been with me last evening I would have been on A2Y in Real Time. Ain't technology grand? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow, turn your back on the playoffs for a minute, and it's 4-3.
ReplyDeleteHeh. I was doin' my update and the phone rings. SN2, being the understanding soul he IS, said he'd call back. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've always liked Scott Gomez!
ReplyDeleteHeh. I've been tempted to use "DevilHabs" when writing about Montreal...
ReplyDeleteGionta is cool, too.
ReplyDeleteA tweet from Wysh:
ReplyDeletewyshynski: Well, at least Gomez had a good seat for how awful the power play looked without his selfish behind out there.
Heh. What a homer he is. And he sez he's a Devils fan.
That was NOT interference!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I HATE it when this sorta shit happens.
ReplyDeleteMore Wsyh:
ReplyDeletewyshynski: Not. A. Caps. Fan. RT @LPCMedia shut the fuck caps fan.Are u a journalist for real or just a fan with a press pass.
Heh.
YES!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was suh-weet!
ReplyDeleteI believe you call that a "Goal scorer's goal!" What a shot!
ReplyDeleteYup. Gotta give him that - it was a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe Caps finally woke up in this one. My Habs did a great job but with the guns on the Caps...............
ReplyDeleteThat kid, Backstrom......is really, really good, ain't he?
