Round 1 Game 2: Playoff wings taste great but would be better served victoriously

Caps fans before the League called O'Halloran to remind him it's "Caps in 5, do your 'job'."

Can you believe CBC picked the Sabres/Bruins over this series? Hell, can you believe the CBC showed CURLING over this?!

Also can you believe stupid Space decided to premier the awesome new Doctor Who series in Canada during the fucking playoffs?! (Of course us real fans already downloaded it from the UK to watch it without a zillion commercials and are on episode 3 now).

It was just like that game when the Habs broke the Caps 16-game winning streak in OT. That was a wild game. This one was no different. Well, the difference is the Habs won that one. (JARO FIX YOUR GLOVE! THOSE WERE WEAK!)

Goalie interference is only called in the West
- Usually when a player's ASS is in the goalie's CHEST you whistle the damn thing. I've see the Red Wing called for weaker moves. And usually when the goalie is forked then shoveled out of his crease then sat on, YOU CALL IT! Though the "book" on Jaro is he's 5'11" and 175lbs, and doesn't like big traffic. I think we'll see Price in this series soon if only because Jaro will be so fucking tired from all that (the wear is starting to show as evident on his glove).
- A hat trick in the playoffs for the Belarusian Bomber? His leg scored a great 3rd goal! (Pens fans will note that Mike Green was preoccupied or useless on every Habs goal that occurred during his shifts, and you wonder why he wasn't asked to be on the Olympic team?) Oh, 3 goals and an assist. He hasn't been that productive since Game 7 of the 2008 playoffs, and the first playoffs hat trick since 1993.
- The Habs had the lead first. The Habs had the lead second. The Habs had the lead with two minutes to play. THE HABS HAD THE LEAD! Of course the Habs are allergic to holding leads, but whatever. Boudreau should be way more concerned about that fact.
- Ovechkin came out with 3 reckless hits and forgot to play hockey because that's when Gomez burned by him to pass one to Gionta who scored on their first shot. Usually the Caps score on their first shot.
- Two goals on two shots. Bye Theo! Varlamov wasn't much better either.
- It got really quiet in Washington...
- How intense was Hal Gill? Other than directing very vocally, he was so livid with that interference penalty that he was STANDING in the penalty box. He also let the refs know there's a rulebook they're paid to follow.
- Told you Eric Fehr worries me more. And Backstrom (also had a hat trick).
- Hilarious moment: Gionta wanted to fight Ovechkin. He actually dropped his gloves but Gomez dropped his gloves first with someone else. Unfortunately that meant no Gomez for 5 minutes so the powerplay could barely get into the zone.
- You know who I love? Tommy Pyatt. That's right. BabyPyatt blocked an Ovie rocket in the final minutes and then chased down the rebound to send it deep.
- The 3rd/4th line will get a goal one day. Sergei made one of the guys look peewee as he toe dragged through him.
- Our top guys delivered the goals again. That Pleks-Cammy-Pleks thing? Love it.
- How's this stat: 30 shots blocked by the Habs (Caps blocked 10, and most of them probably inadvertently as Slippy would always dump a puck into the gut of Caps player).

If the Habs didn't blow a 4-1 lead (FOUR TO ONE LEAD!!!) this series would be 2-0. Suck on that PJ Stock. We'll just have to wallow in our free wings of sorrows. Delicious sorrows...

Apparently every series is tied at 1 now, save for the Hawks/Preds because they didn't do their 2nd yet. I dare say the most wide opened, best playoff series in a long time?

Game 2: Bulldogs make roadkill of the Manitoba Moose
Maybe I'll just let the game sheet do the talking, because this game was how a real number 1 seed dominates a playoff game.


And just before Wyman scored on his shorthanded penalty shot (wtf?) Koharski nearly ruined the game by missing a blatant call that prevented Desharnais to do his job only to call a total dive by Shirokov. BIG day for Trotter and Subban though. Even bigger one for Alex Henry who made a huge glove save and scored a goal. You'd have a higher chance of finding buried treasure in your backyard than Henry has scoring a goal. BabyHabs also chased Cory Schneider out of his net. Unfortunately Weber was destroyed on the glass and didn't return...no idea if it's a concussion or not.

Two words though: Guy Boucher. This man is amazing. I salivate at what he could do with the roster the Habs have.
