It's OK to have an April swoon when there's been absolutely nothing in the rearview mirror for 3 months. Going in hot is reassuring for we the fans but I suspect the players and coaches view this like besbol spring training.

This isn't a swoon tonight...this is a full on stroke...

I'm really lookin' forward to the Caps/Habs matchup...I think that will be great theater...

Hope LT is back soon...

Nice show of respect by the Penguins fans. Quite unexpected.

Sid & the Pins gave Alex a Rolex after the game...

Bet on the CANADIENS to win the series. Reverse jinx attempt

Looks like Protas is a scratch.

Gotta say, Caps picked a bad time for the injury bug

Six scratches. Gulp.

Is that Halak in goal?

I don’t think they were counting on Backstrom and Oshie.

This first 5 minutes is exactly what I expected of CAPS playoff hockey...they look fantastic!

WOW...what an effort so far...

Ref's really f'd up that non-call on the Carlson trip...

They really needed that goal after dominating the period. No matter what the announcers said about Montreal going ahead on shots. Caps have dominated the scoring chances.

OUT-freakIN'-STANDING period of hockey!!!!!

I expected goals were 1.52 to 0.4. Corsi percentage was almost 63 percent for the Caps. Can’t let them hang around.

I would have thought it even more lopsided. They need to just bury them in the second...take away their will to play like they did in the first...fast and hard...

20 hits!

Montreal’s first line has been invisible.

You guys are lucky to be able to miss the ESPN broadcast. Especially PK and Messier in the studio.
