That's why you have to work until you hear the buzzer. You never know.
Great win for the Caps, tougher lose for the Rangers.
From last night ICYMI, Joel Ward with 1.4 seconds left:
I'll admit that I didn't see it live. It was on a big TV in front of my face, live. But as the puck went into the corner with five seconds left, I turned my attention to a conversation with my wife. When suddenly I hear "he scores!"
You know what I mean? You just get so certain that it's going to OT you pretty much write off the last couple of seconds, and I was guilty of that.

Pointing my finger at Lundqvist more than anyone else on this shift. Boyle played the situation right, but execution was wrong. He prolly wasn’t expecting a hit from Backstrom but more of a stick check. The other defending was taking away a wraparound from Ovi who made a ridiculous pass out front. And Lundy was in position but just didn’t react to the shot.
But this is textbook, “play to the whistle” situation. Coaches go furious on stuff like this.

Why the heck was Vignault playing Boyle and not Staal in this situation?? Not that Backstrom's hit wouldn't have rocked Staal, but if you are in the last minute of a game like that, don't you want to avoid giving up a late, demoralizing goal like that? Better for the Rangers that this happened early in the series rather than near the end, or they would be frigged!!

Joel Ward making big plays in the spring yet again. This guys elevation of his play in the post season is like clockwork.
