There's no motivation. It's like the Wizards, they talk about not wanting to get complacent, but they do it anyway. Same thing with the Caps, they said they were not going to be overconfident, and these guys are playing like they already won the series.

Man, and I thought the NBA was rigged. These refs seem to find penalties on the Caps just for making a line change....

Safe to say the Pens have figured Varlamov out. I think Theo needs to start at goal tomorrow.

I fully expect Theo to be in net tomorrow. Give Varlamov a rest.

btw someone please throw Mike Green in a volcano.

Yes. It's a back to back. So you want to start the kid the night after he gave up 5 goals, and has lost back to back starts? We might as well have an empty net the whole game then.

Yeah that is crazy. Come on he was bound to have a bad game like this, he has had no defense what so ever, even tonight. It was PATHETIC.

I am confident he will bounce back.

I actually missed basically the first two periods, so what was the power play count.

The Caps are tied in this series because of their poor defense and undisciplined play, not because of the goalie.

You want to make an example out of somebody? Limit Greens ice time. He's been an atrocious give away machine.

I kinda disagree. Crosby said they could put more pressure on Varlamov if they bombard him with shots, and they've been doing that. How many shots on goal in Game 3? 41 or so? He said this after Game 1 or 2 by the way. It's almost like the Rangers series.

Hey- Caps 2-1 heading into the 3rd period of a critical game 5...

I'll take it
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Have a little faith.

Geez...did Harry Potter just raise the white flag when Lord Voldemort was about to kill him? Of course not.

HA!

I think only 3 of us will get that dude, lol.

OT now.

This game reminds me of those near panic attacks I had a few years ago with the Wizards.

3-3 heading into bonus hockey...step away from the edge, boys
