well, if you want to go with that logic, one fluke bounce and the Bruins loose in the 1st round last year, one made call on goaltender interference the Bruins maybe win in the 1st round, if the Caps get a bounce in game 1 vs boston, they win in 5….anytime its a one goal game, anything that “almost happened” could have won or lost a game. I just think it’s reasonable to think if the caps keep playing 1 goal games that they can win the cup. There is notihng wrong with playing sound defense, but don’t take away your teams strength. I will tell you, I am not a huge fan of Claude Julien. He is keeping Seguin from blossoming. Some players are got at scoring, some are good at defense and some are good in all 3 zones. I hope Ovi does not get a hot head because he is not getting his usual scoring chances. Disgruntled superstars can kill any team. All in all its just my only real gripe with the caps, if they win the cup with it then awesome. I can see my 2 favorite teams win the cup in consecutive years. Go Caps!

well its not really winning hockey when you won as many as you have lost just as much as you have one, and your goals for and goals against are the same. Again, if this trend continues, I will come back and eat my words, but they do need to get a few more goals up on there. If Ottawa can do it, Washington can do it.

18 shots on goal is interesting? I am not saying all low scoring games are bad. And Holtby gives up his share of rebounds. I just think if the caps play a different kind of team they will struggle. I agree philly and pitt sucked. But it is not like the caps are giving up real shot opportunities. Everything comes from the parameter. Either way I do genuinely hope the caps win, I just do not want them to end up like some other teams who dumb down the game to the point you are waiting on a lucky bounce or missed/made call to win a game.

Exciting hockey between two teams isn’t the same as good hockey by one team.

Hunter’s style is making for some EXCITING hockey– not necessarily good hockey. And it’s winning right now. And that’s all I’ll say until summertime.

Dude, are you insane? I’ve been watching hockey for 38+ years, and this is one of the best series of hockey I’ve ever seen. Do you know what series sucked? The Pittsburgh-Philly series. Yes there were a lot of goals, but the defense was atrocious and the hockey was a joke. If you think these games are boring, then I don’t know what sport you are watching. Yes, they are low-scoring and very defensive, but geez man, give some credit to some incredible goaltending on both ends of the ice. If it wasn’t for Lundquist, the Caps have clearly had opportunities to score 4 and 5 goals per game in this series. Meanwhile, the Rangers have been swarming the offensive zone throughout the series and are simply getting stoned by a young goalie with a quick glove-hand and a penchant for NOT giving up bad rebounds. Boring was watching Philly play game 5 against Jersey with no balls and no heart and thus no ability to get a puck anywhere near the net while Jersey cold just sit in their “layers” in the neutral zone. I haven’t seen any of that neutral-zone crap in this Caps-Rangers series.

Rhino40 … OMG! That horrible NBC announcer who jinxed a perfectly good goose-egg for Holtby needs to be FIRED!!! Mike Milbury and ?? both tried to shut him up … they yelled at him (in fact) and he just laughed his defiance of the hockey gods. What an ass hat.

I also thought that Holtby was interfered with on that goal … we all did in my house. Hard to say what would have happened if we had scored one like that, but I’ll also say that the two penalties handed to the boys in red before the 4 minuter, were very questionable. They happened alright, but the Rags were committing the same fouls and getting away with it. Very uneven reffing continues to be a spectre haunting these playoffs.
