VarLAmov in goal..... game on.

Giroux is playing tonight... Caps to the PP at 18:53 left 1st....

two clears for the Habs already... Ovie lets it get by him at the blue line... another clear at :11... killed.

15:50, icing Caps... another at 15:40... zzzzzzzzz...

Ovechkin with three hard shots already, two very wide and the third high over the net... neither team has established anything on offense... 13:15, TV timeout.

Pressure on VarLAmov but he covers...Caps with some offense...

FEHR!

1-0 Caps on the 2nd SOG.

AND NOW OVECHKIN!!

2-0 Caps at 10:01 left 1st!! Habs take a timeout...

Giroux to the box at 8:09.... just as the penalty expires- pad save, VarLAmov... another on a wrap-around... another on a hard shot from the slot... another, a cover, and a TV timeout. Great job by the goalie...

 

More hard work for Varly, but the 1st ends 2-0 Caps.

The intermission had a nice interview with Perrault and Giroux- both seemed very confident in their game.

2nd on... a hard shot by Spacek a minute or so in, but Varly controls... now another GREAT save by VarLAmov, and Price stops Ovechkin point blank on a breakaway at the other end...

16:16, Beagle to the box- Montréal PP...

 

Almost a 5 on 3, but the Caps escape... until :04 left PP.

Spacek makes it 2-1...

Ovechkin breaks in again 2 on 2, but Price stops the shot and covers...

Camelleri breaks in... stick save Varly....

both goalies are really into it now.

JB calls the goalie work "dazzling" as they go to a break... 7:55, it's still 2-1 Caps...

Varly a couple more saves, but now a rebound gets in...

2-2, end 2nd.

 

 

At 16:46 left in regulation, the Habs go on the PP... and at 15:59, it's 1:17 of 5 on 3... which is killed... 2 BIG pad saves by Varly... not enough.

At :28 left PP...

3-2 Canadiens.

 

10:27 left in regulation the Caps get the call this time- PP... SOGs in the 3rd are 6-1 Habs...

over a minute of PP, and the Caps haven't even got in the zone, let alone get a shot off...

killed... the Caps have a TOTAL of 10 SOGs in the game to here.

TV timeout at 8:16 left.

Missed my last post, as I lost my connection... Varly pulled at 1:13 left... Price a BIG save at :30...

:15.5 left, the Caps get a PP- 6 on 4... Boudreau takes his timeout...
