Yeah, thought about that, too. Linesman Sericolo should’ve .been assigned to this game to separate them to complete Italian connection

I thought even in first period Caps remained cool and calm. And that was evidently AO’ plan.
After crosschecking into the back,Stuart then grabbed Ovi for the throat, really disgusting and he should get 10 min for this. And what about 5on5. All 3 goals and Caps stats improving in this department as well as in FOs.

Now Caps should get EC-leading Bruins, really big measuring stick.

I was not optimistic going into this game, and as you said, the first quarter was not great, but boy, did they pick up the pace after that. Great game to watch, and go Holtby! Tied for league leader in shutouts!

Hey Milbury, GFY! Now that’s out of the way, I have to say it was a good effort all around, Holtby was a stonewall and Ovechkin had more energy today

I love love love Ovi’s conduct on that play. Smiles are always better than scowls except in the rare exception of Hendricks above.

Mark Stuart penalty for hitting Ovi — well deserved. Basically punched him. Happy Ovi did not retaliate.

Enjoyed your Ancient Rome reference on the Volpatti fight. (Well, both of the principals in the fight are descended from that old Empire, with ancestors hailing from Italy.)

This is what the Caps need to do more of…even if it means taking penalties. Every team feels they can easily take runs at us because we do nothing about it.

Responding the way they did towards the end of the 3rd period is what I want to see more of. The long term effects responding to questionable/bad hits will benefit this team in the future.
