I thought the Capitals were playing at max effort in the first period. I said to my buddy that I didn't think they had it in them to keep that pace for the whole game. They are having trouble skating with the Leafs.

big time game from Kadri tonight!

I was disappointed in his play in Washington wasn't really generating anything and sloppy play. Tonight he brought his game. Love it.

What. A. Season.

Looking at replays one of the great things about the Nylander goal is that he's got a wide open net but he still shot it hard enough for it to bounce right back out.

Oh hell yeah!!! No quit in these Buds, just kept going despite the early deficit. Nice to see the rest of the kids get in on the scoring action too!
The key was killing off that full 2 minute 5 on 3, Marincin was a beast on that kill! Hopefully he is okay, the Leafs blueline has been banged up this series and they can't afford another injury back there.
So proud of this bunch!

GO LEAFS GO!!!

I actually thought he hit the post for a second because it came out so fast.

Lou's just annoyed that the goal guaranteed at least 6 games of playoff beard growth.

For about 2 seconds, Shanny was a fan. Then right back to business.

I don't know how much of this is Leafs not quitting and showing heart or Caps just choking and killing themselves in games. I don't really care either woooooooo

You don't want to judge a player based off a handful of games, but what are the thoughts on Shattenkirk. I have liked some bits of his game, but paying him 7-10 million seems concerning to me.  Strikes me like a Dion Phaneuf level frustration where he will be good but not worth the cap hit.

For what it's worth I've always felt that way. The issue though is that if you feel you need a big upgrade on D and you can only get it through free agency then it's sort of a beggars can't be choosers situation.

His four, FOUR missed shots on net during the 5-on-3 could very well be the difference between a 2-1 Leafs series lead and a 2-1 Caps lead. A goal there would have made it 4-1.

These guys are making it hard to remember the whole "happy just to be here" stuff. Now I want blood.

Same. I've gone from reasonable to completely unrealistic expectations in short time.

I think the first part covers it. The same sample of games would tell me don't really need any upgrades at D and that Dion Phaneuf is worth every penny of that contract.
