GAME OF THE NIGHT: Pittsburgh Penguins at Washington Capitals, Monday, May 4, 2009, 7pm ET

they do indeed...

Ovie!

WOW... a BAD penalty by Geno...and a GIGANTIC goal by the Caps to take the lead for the first time.

What the OVIE is going on???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW.

:%%:

Ovie is just awesome. Best player in the world.

Alexander the GR8 gets a hat trick...unreal...and the Caps are cooking the Pingu Posse.

ovie finally gets going 4 goals in 2 games and 2 in the previous 7

crosby gets one with 34 seconds left

You knew as soon as he got the puck that he was going to score.

he had 4 chances at it

In terms of a Crosby-Ovechkin match-up, you can't ask for much more than a hattrick per game for both of them.

UN. BELIEVABLE. THE SID AND OVIE SHOW.

caps lead the series 2-0

lol, penguin souflez anyone? I still say varlamov mvp of game ...

damn this Varlamov.
Good game by the caps! I just wish Pitts PP could actually look coherent.

if those two keep going blow for blow this series it'll make answering the already impossible question of who is better even more impossible to answer...

technically, I think Ovie is winning the battle right now by virtue of being up 2-0

and on another note, you have to hand it to Sid who it seems always finds a way to bring his game to another level, the tougher things get... he's already scored more goals in 7 games in this years playoffs than he scored during last years cup run...

pitts is going to need to get malkin moving sometime soon i think that will be the key to the pp clicking

Washington's Russians are getting it done. Pittsburgh's, not so much. Gonchar is supposed to be the PP quarterback, and that's not going anywhere. Then the winner is scored on his watch as well. And why is Malkin even dressing if he's not going to play? Contrast this to the Ovechkin/Varlamov show.

Could some of it also be on Bylsma? Ovechkin had 12 shots on goal; the next highest Cap was Kozlov, with 4. Stop Ovechkin and your chances of winning go up dramatically. Maybe home ice will let him match lines better.

He's got to do something about Malkin, though. He averaged 1:06 per shift. That's 8 seconds longer than Crosby and 5 seconds longer than Ovechkin. And Ovechkin's average is probably inflated from his 2 minute PP shifts. Bench his a$$, already.
