Just got back from Cooter's. It's imo that the Caps are done. I think the Bruins take it in 5.

Good to see that SJ won. I hope that turns into a good series.

The popular line seems to be the Bruins got away with one and this was the chance for the upset, but I don't see it. the Caps played a great third period but the Bruins DOMINATED the first two. And for all of their dominance, they squeaked out a win in OT (which was the just result). This wasn't Ottawa getting smacked around like George beat Weezie.

The Caps big issue was an idea I really liked, but didn't work: Brooks Laich was tair-ruh-bull. He lost about 75% of his faceoffs, which is truly awful and explained why Ovie had no zone time. He also was a non factor on offense, fumbling a lot passes and making Ovie and Brouwer forecheck solo. I loved the idea of going big, but it didn't work. Move Perreault to the first line and put a legit top six center up there, and put Laich down to a checking energy line with Ward and Hendricks.
