Washington’s capitals started it again, taking an advance in the 2-0 series on Montreal Canadiens with another victory on home ice.
After a goalless first period, during which there was a score but it was 0-0, Christian Dvorak hunted and allowed a 1-0 lead for the Canadians after a prolonged net race. The caps responded with two goals precisely at one minute intervals: Connor McMichael marking without help a banking, then Dylan Strome obtaining his own rebound after a nice zone entrance.
And in the last seconds of the third period, Connor McMichael obtained an empty network. It was done.
Win Caps! Caps takes a 2-0 series advance!
- Again, Washington’s capital dictated the pace – and the violence – of the game. Caps generated 70% of the objectives expected during the first period and 60% in the second. But again, at the end of the third, the clothes pushed hard. Except that this time, the goalkeeper was ready.
- Ryan Leonard obtained the first decisive pass of his NHL career, a secondary on Dylan Stromeobjective. Leonard did not have a ton of ice time, once again, but he seemed to have had an impact on each quarter of work. It’s so important to have guys like that in the playoffs.
- For example: Anthony Beauvillierwhich was shiny on the upper line. Beauvillier had the main assistance on this same Strome objective above, taking a crisp and crisp pass from Leonard and immediately tools him in Strome. This makes three points for “Bovy” (no thanks on this nickname) in two games. He was very close to having another objective in it with an attempted escape.
- I thought Tom Wilson had moved away with a breakage from the crown affair Thomas Crown for a while. After presenting Cole Caufield early, Wilson fired heat from Josh Anderson in the form a pension. Then Anderson continued it again after the whistle. I thought it would be a four -minute electricity game for the caps, but I think the referees thought that Tom was a little too easy on the second time, so they broke out for a little.
- Pierre-Luc Dubois I have the duty of Suzuki again, and he did very well with it. During my last check, PLD had played about 9 of his 11 minutes against this upper line, and shooting attempts were uniform. I had some discussions with a Habs writer on the match situation in match 1, saying that it was very good for the ceilings to a legendary series of changes by the clothes in these last ten minutes. I agree to feed Dubois in wood bombing here, especially if he can help catch an empty network as he did here.
- I don’t know who Jayden Daniels is. When hockey is not on, I read on the Gothic lesbian necromancers in space and the emancipation of the Nerds of the tyranny of the Rader edition.
- From the dashboard of the Rader publication, outside the city, Gabe Landeskog is about to play his first NHL match since June 26, 2022. This is a sufficient reason for standing late. If he gets a point this evening, he will have one in two consecutive match.
- With Marty Fehervary for good, Alex Alexeyev intervened and intervened. He is a little offbeat – Matt Roy eats mega minutes – but I place him alongside Beauvillier as a deep guy who gives him a notch for the loffs.
- We thought Logan Thompson denied Jake Evans The goal linked eight minutes after the third period with this Ballerino movement. But it turns out that, a dramatic break, he did not even touch the thing. He hit the post.
- A quarter of work or two later, Thompson seemed to be shaken when the skull of Juraj Skafkovsky could have struck his hand under his notepad. Could have been bad. Like, bad protas. Thompson made a few more discharge stops in the third period to protect the advance. Even if he was a fraudster on the safeguard of Evans, he was still the manufacturer of difference tonight.
- Connor McMichael Had a real bad playoff series in the Rangers series last year, but it was tall tonight with two goals.
Caps are the best team through two games, but clothes undeniably have weapons. These two victories were close, and none of the two convinces me that the series will be easy now that it heads for French Canada.
But I have fun. These are the playoffs. The caps are alive and in advance. Protas should be back on Friday. The days are long and sunny, and the flowers flourish. The traffic jams are 2-0 when I wear my luffs T-shirt. I would probably have a milk-muke after publishing this and watching the game AVS. Spring hockey! It’s the best.
