Theo wasn't yanked game 1, he started and played the entire game 1 and we lost in OT. After a game two start and two shots on and two goals later he was yanked, just as he should have been. Varly came in to relieve in game 2 and we came back to win.
Game 7 who knows what direction Gabby goes.
We need to attack the net, stay in the crease and play grind it out hockey. Stop aiming the puck for small areas in the net and just pepper the shit outta halak and capitalize on the rebounds (keep there asses planted in his face/the crease) and get some dirty goals.
We will get this thing, we won't loss three straight!
GO CAPS!!!!!

the part i dont agree with is the comment that ovie shouldnt have to back check on 5 on 5. in playoff hockey, all 5 skaters must back check and mark their man. if ovies guy is past the blue line, ovies butt better be past the blueline.
i would also start theo, i wouldnt have switched goalies half way thru game 1 either but thats bruce's call and hes been making pretty good ones so far.
id just like to welcome all the new (i wont call ya bandwagon) caps fans they have gained over the past few years, playoff hockey actually kinda sorta looks like how hockey is supposed to look. you know, pre-1998 rule changes to compliment the russian speedsters like pavel bure, teammu selanne and make hockey more exciting for americans.
you crash the net, you back check your ass off and dont take stupid penalties.
