[Zalapski33]

Rust taking advantage of the Caps Forward and Geno bangs it in.Good effort there to get the lead.

[SteelCityFan]

Geno Machino!!

[penscup]

Hell of a setup there by Rusty.

[stonewizard51]

Genoooo!!!

[KG]

I like the new lines. Rakell should stay with Sid. Bunting , Geno, Rust has good potential too.

[Zalapski33]

Have to convert on this PP from a bad Caps Offensive Zone Penalty.

Pens have controlled this 3rd Period.Put it away now guys.

[BurghThing]

Good thinking by the Caps, take a penalty to go down by 2 goals.

Their best chance to win it.

[SteelCityFan]

Do we want a PP goal? You know how we do with 2 goal leads

[Southern Fan]

Small sample size, but they have looked so much better this period after the line changes.

[KG]

What a horrible penalty by Puusty

[SteelCityFan]

A short handed goal against would be the perfect Sully cherry on top.

[Zalapski33]

Can't grab his stick Pusty,Terrible Penalty to take.

[FLPensFan]

What a horrible penalty by Puusty

I guess. Also a horrible call to just let the interference by Roy go...no puck anywhere near both players, he's impeding Puustinen, and all Puusty is trying to do it get around the player.

But, NHL refs gonna NHL I guess.

[KG]

I think I figured out the key to Sullivan’s “system”…

Rely on excellent goaltending.

[SteelCityFan]

Blomqvist trying to steal us a point tonight

[Zalapski33]

Blomqvist with the point blank save.Then a second one.He has been terrific tonight.
Some courageous shot blocking by DOC on Ovi on that PK.

[IntangibleBeer]

Blom standing on his head in the PK.

[BurghThing]

Can't wait til Jarry comes back

[SteelCityFan]

Can't wait til Jarry comes back

[IntangibleBeer]

Can't wait til Jarry comes back

Uh, said no one ever.

[FLPensFan]

There should be zero doubt that Blomqvist belongs in the NHL as a backup at a minimum. Dubas made the wrong call not planning to let him prove himself in camp. While Ned has the better GAA, Blomqvist is the only goalie with a save percentage above .900, and that to me is more important. This team is going to give up bad chances and hang the goalies out to dry. Save percentage is a better indicator...some nights (cough, Edmonton) you lose 4-0 and the goalie is the only thing keeping the team from losing 10-0.

An early pull of the Goalie by the Caps here.
Finish this off.

He'll get his chance for one off the Face Off right here.
