Game on.... I have no sound at the moment, as Comcast Arlington seems to be broadcasting odd radio feeds/cell phone conversations over the game audio, and the radio is not coordinated time-wise.....

anyway, it's Johnson vs. Halak.

edit: because I can call him Johnny, or I can call him Sonny, but I doesn't have to call him Johnsos.

Kolbe and the radio are maybe 4-5 secs ahead of the video for me.

Johnson has had two good stops on breaks/semi breakaways.... slapshot by Green...........

SCOOOOOOOOOOOORE!

1-0 Caps! Right around the 11:01 left mark.

I kind of like the radio ahead- if it sounds exciting, I can stop typing and start watching....

Caps to the PP with 10:55 left 1st, Kovy with a high stick.

Wow- no sooner did I hit post last time, there's a breakaway by Plekanec and a SHG for the Habs.....

1-1.

Killed. 1 SOG for the Caps, 1 SOG and a goal for the Habs....

Uh oh.... Caps go on the PP again, 7:31 left 1st.....

TV timeout.

Killed, 5:11 left 1st, another TV timeout, and....

tonight it's Steckel injured, and headed to the locker room early.

Habs' PP, but killed..... Steckel is back, must have been an equipment problem.... under 2:00 left.... under 1:00....

1-1 end 1st.

 

Here I am. I'm using this radio, now:

http://www.federalnewsradio.com/?nid=249

The Caps' third power play of the game ends with 4 shots and no goal.

And a good glove save by Johnson!

And now Johnson with a huge save that makes the crowd roar! Must have been good. Qualified as a "highway robbery" as always by Kolbe.

Semin goes through Brisebois and SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORES!!!!!

2-1 Caps.

Recap of the 2nd-

zzzzzzzz............ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............... zzzzzzzzzzzz...........

6:56 left 2nd, Brisbois gets stripped by Semin, in alone on Halak.........

2-1 CAPS!!

Yeah, it was a pretty good save by BJ- got taken out of position to his right, dived back across to his left and closed the open net....

Caps would have a PP, but for the Ovechkin dive..... he's learning from Crosby, unfortunately.

Now a too-many on the Caps, and the Habs go 4 on 3.....

"Steckel a one man penalty killing machine" according to Kolbe.... back to 5 on 4.... killed.

Good job.

2-1 Caps, end 2nd. Caps probably on the PP to start the 3rd, there was a hooking call right at the 20:00 mark of the period.

So it was Semin's second goal of the night, since apparently he redirected Green's slapshot in the first period. Sloan also got an assist on that one. The second goal was unassisted.

You said "2-0 Caps" on the goal, but our millions of fans will have understood you actually meant: Semin 2, Ovechkin 0.

Dang! I had to "fix" that.... I also should fix that that last call was on the Caps, and it's the Habs that will start the 3rd on the PP....

Question- why doesn't the board show my edit of 2-0 to 2-1?

Verrrrrrrry interesssssssting........

3rd on. I know that's right.

Now the Habs with :23 of 5 on 3.....

and they score.

2-2, Habs still on the PP.

Robert Lang.

And Kostitsyn scores one, seconds later! 3-2.

Andrei Kostitsyn assisted by... Sergei Kostitsyn and Patrice Brisebois.

Fleischmann, to Nylander, to Bradley, back to Fleischmann, scores!!!

Under review, but it will count, according to Kolbe.

3-3!!! Fleishmann!!!

Just as I hit post, it's Plekanec again-

4-3 Montréal.

And Plekanec gives the Canadiens the advantage again! Geez! Is it like 4 goals in ten seconds?

A little hyperbole on your part,  but 4 goals in 2:35.....

4 goals in 2:35, actually. Not bad.

5-on-3 and 5-on-4 were almost logical, but then it became crazy.

Hi Marc and hi here too Roger

well if the Caps keep playing like this they will be vying for the #1 draft pick with the Pens Or fighting over where Jagr will play if he comes back to the NHL. LOL

I was apparently wrong in the order of the passes, for Fleischmann's goal, since the primary assist went to Bradley and the secondary one to Nylander.

And a good pad save by Johnson, the crowd was already all excited.

Hi, Lulu! Caps are going to play well enough to kick the Pens out of the playoffs, we're not too worried about that.

Marc,

I have no doubt about that at this time

8:50 left reg, Caps to the PP.....

Caps score!!!! Nylander deflection, from Ovechkin and Green!!!!

4-4

Canadiens score with almost nothing left!

Under 1:00.....

and the Habs score.

This will end 5-4, Montréal.

21 seconds left. Boudreau takes his timeout.

Johnson to the bench.

Now, 12.3 left, icing.

Laich wins the faceoff, back to Ovechkin, shoots, too high, with 9 seconds left.

End of game, Caps lose. Crazy game.

Crazy game.... lazy game.

One and done, if they continue to play like this.
