Wow. If this is what the rest of the series is going to be like then we're in for some exciting stuff here. And as long as we get the same result (a Caps win) I'll be happy. Ovie was great (Ovie goals are always great), Simmy was amazing, Pie and A2 had a solid game, I thought. And the Caps third (fourth?) line was rolling right along. On the other side, Mr. Puffy was great (sadly), Maf was stellar for most of the game. I thought Malkin was fairly quiet, but that could be more to do with the fact that I was subjected to highlights of Crosby doing something every two seconds. The problem was I had Blersus feed on RDS... which by the way, had Pierre Houde doing the announcing, which is such a welcome change from RDS's B team. Yay! Now if only I could shove a sock down Benoit Brunet's throat....
I need to find Simmy's brilliant save on Mr. Puffy. He completely robbed the Kid of a goal. That's probably the save of the series. Or the playoffs even.... EAT THAT CROSBY!
EDIT: Got it.
A couple of sticking points though...
The Caps started off really shakey and the Pens took advantage early with a Puffle goal from Mr. Puffy.
The Caps D was spotty at times
Simmy needs to do something about those rebounds. If the D can't clear them, then expect the Puffles to take a huge advantage of those
Good start though =)
Oh and... rocking the red in a CAPS shirt actually worked this time! YEEEEEES!
And yes, I did spend most of the game coming up with random names for everyone...

Wow, I couldn't watch the two last periods. This save is sick... I hope the rest of the series will be as exciting!
I know!!! It was like...
Crosby: YEAH! I'm going to score on this totally open net!
Me: $%^&*@#$%^&%$#@#$%^.....
Simmy: *dives and saves it*
Crosby, Me and just about everyone else who was watching: WHAT. THE. HELL??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you really have the time to think $%^&*@#$%^&%$#@#$%^.....? You're fast! =)
Okay so my brain was in a continuous state of cursing Crosby anyway =p
