Ben Shelley: Previewing New York's series against the Capitals

I get done with work and check the scores and I'm looking at triple OT on the first night of the playoffs!?

Good analysis Ben.

IF the Caps show up, Beau and Barzal need to be monsters to win this. Injuries could also be a big part of the outcome. If the 1st and 2nd lines aren't producing, we're toast.

Agree Ben, this is gonna be a great series. Barry against his old team and assistant Reirden who took his job.

The whole team needs to play the team game they played against Florida to win this series.

It's great unless it's your team!

Milbury is such a putz

Quadruple OT! Holy Fack!

These guys are gassed!

TB's defense is way out of position backing out of the O zone. 3 guys making a box and backing out on 1 side of the ice, leaving the opposite side wide open. I've seen it 2 or 3 times already. If CB can get a guy on the weak side, he'll have a wide open break away with plenty of time to make some moves.

Great game.....and the schedule lasted exactly 1 game.

No doubt. My buddy is a B’s fan and he’s bummed the ice is gonna be worse than it normally is. Plus having to wait to start the game sucks!!

Kuch had 2 chances to ice this game and missed the net both time

These guys are gassed, but refusing to quit. This is awesome.
I guess Boston will be playing tomorrow.

Does Korpisalo just start cursing out everyone in the locker room demanding some help?

Good point, streaker. Normally, the regular season has just ended and a lot of guys are tired and beat up. This year they're fresh as daisies.

Yeah, it made sense. I think they need 1 1/2 hours between games to disinfect the whole place. 11 pm start time (at best) would be ridiculous, but 11 am hockey sounds great to me.
