Round 2 - Washington Vs. Pittsburgh

So, anyone want to guess whether Kunitz will be hunted tonight?

i think it is in the best interest of the capitals to leave him alone weather the initial storm of the pens and play their game if they start hunting kunitz then they will get off their game plan and make this game easier for the pens

By who though? Brashear? Not a great idea.

I'm sure he'll get his share of extra hits and the refs will be keeping a close eye on him in the crease...

Yeah. I think for 3 more games? It was 6 in total.

yup! Brashear can only lace 'em up as early as game #5 I believe.

so even if hunting kunitz was on the agenda tonight who would the caps send after him..... on a side not e the steckle line has been pretty strong against the pens so far they keep the play in the zone and steckle has 2 goals

Steckle has not only been putting the puck in the net, but I believe he is out there for all key faceoffs in his own zone and being played in all situations.

IMO he is the difference in the series right now.

When you consider the only other scorers in the last game were Crosby and Ovechkin, it would certainly seem that these teams have shut each others' offense down for the most part.

Thus an 'unsung hero' like Steckel becomes key.

Who is that, for the Pens?

The Pingu Posse need to find the answer.

Tonight.

Pascal Dupuis or Max Talbot might...

That's exactly what he said...

Tough tough break for the Penguins.

ohh i missed the word other so i thought he said the only scorers were crosby and OVie

bad bouce for pens good bouces for the caps and ov jumps on it ...not had they anticipated it im sure but definitely the way they want to start the road game

geez GR8 scored in less than a minute and a half...



...PS Sykora is scratched and Satan is in.

Caps swarming so far.

Backstrom barely missed that wraparound...
