    Yeah, seemed very much like an unintentional collision. Lee shouldn't have to answer for this again, he paid his dues by fighting Wilson. Backstrom isn't exactly an ironman when it comes to injuries.

    He's definitely not an Ironman, but on the flip side he's also a hugely important part to the team, so that adds a layer to it.

    He is definitely not a band aid if that’s what’s being applied. He has played a lot of full seasons. If I recall he had that one stint where he missed a lot of time because of a concussion. But outside that he hasn’t missed many games throughout his career.

    I guess my point was more, the hit wasn't egregious, it didn't appear that Lee threw a hit or made contact with any intent. Sucks that Backstrom got hurt, but for a team to go after a player for incidental contact, they should be penalized if they try to make Lee repeatedly "answer" for the play.

    Unlike the Blues series, I don't see Washington coming back from this. NYI has their number right now.

    not much flow to game two . not sure how refs miss calling a 5 minute major on the caps when Greene was hit from behind into the boards.

    Refs have missed a ton of things. But ya that was pretty blatant.

    Yeah, this one feels like it's close to over, regardless of help from the refs.

    Carlson looked uninterested there.

    Eller and Wilson looked good for the Caps, but the New York No Names come through with another team effort. Trotz is a pretty good coach and has the team playing well.
