No style points for how it was done, but it's still an awesome achievement.

At least that will make the contract negotiations in the summer easier ...

Price has looked good in tough situations. And the last five games don't even qualify as that difficult. It's as if he brings the pressure onto himself at times, loses confidence ... and then we have an outcome like the last five games.

Exactly. Price is fabulous when he has it all together, but he still doesn't seem to have built up the mental fortitude I would hope for after five years in the league.

If he gets his game back, I agree. But in the last five games, with Price faltering, the entire team has stumbled. Just as you say. So I think we are actually in agreement. The real question is how can Price get back into the groove ...

One could argue that the 2010 team snapped back because they had a goalie behind them that they could believe in. At this point I suspect they don't have confidence in either Price or Budaj.

If that scotch is older than Gallagher, it'll make up for a lot!

I have a vague recollection of the time when we used to do the very same thing ...

Including this game, our two goalies each have a save percentage of about .800 over the last five games (and it would be far worse if not for TB). We've pulled the starting goalie three times so far in those games, will tonight be the fourth? I sure didn't see this particular collapse coming a month ago.

Price 0.250 save percentage, Budaj 0.000 ...

Exactly. It's not the lack of intensity, the Habs are applying lots of pressure. But we have one goal from 11 shots, they have three from four shots.

I'll second that.

A solid start to OT -- but how long can the energy last? Thomas is giving up the rebounds again ...

On to OT we go again ...

Lord Subban!

PK!!!!!!!

Wow, Cherry of all people pointing out a Bruins high stick!

Of course. You couldn't wish for a bunch of nicer fellows than the Bruins.

Both!

A shot!!!!

I'll still be happy with Caps -- that means we made it past the Bruins.

Missed the first period ... in spite of the shots in the 3rd, I like the energy our boys are showing.

Much better effort AFTER the PP!

And a fine PK it was!

Ah, looks like nhl.com corrected it, we're back to 4-1 now, not 5-1.
