Pikkarainen the first Devils shot (and maybe for either team).

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:11 PM EST reply actions

Rolston ripped one off of Varlamov’s shoulder and the side of the net, the horn briefly sounded.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:13 PM EST reply actions

The Devils get a pile up in front and Bergfors nearly flips one home.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:14 PM EST reply actions

Scoreless so far. Pretty even stuff.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:18 PM EST reply actions

Penalty to the Devils

Salvador off for what appears to be a rough.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:20 PM EST reply actions

any body else think mottau is turning into a pretty serious defender.

by Imperator_Celtic on Nov 4, 2009 7:20 PM EST reply actions

A hook.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:20 PM EST reply actions

Caps are noticeably less dynamic on their power play without Ovechkin. Keeping it mostly to the outside.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:21 PM EST reply actions

Penalty Killed

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:23 PM EST reply actions

Parise was sprung on a breakaway, and goes down, yet somehow nothing got called.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:27 PM EST reply actions

any one see the guy giving the ref the finger after that one

by Imperator_Celtic on Nov 4, 2009 7:28 PM EST reply actions

from the seats right behind the goal

by Imperator_Celtic on Nov 4, 2009 7:28 PM EST up reply actions

Small crowd in here?

Just logged on…listening to the 660 am broadcast at work….

by HELLAWAITS on Nov 4, 2009 7:29 PM EST reply actions

im seeing realy alot of mottau so far
lots of good plays in first

by Imperator_Celtic on Nov 4, 2009 7:30 PM EST reply actions

Score

Tyler Sloan from Matthew Perrault, and it’s 1-0 Caps.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:35 PM EST reply actions

That sounded bad....

Did White have a lapse in defensive judgement?

by HELLAWAITS on Nov 4, 2009 7:36 PM EST reply actions

And the Devils show a lack of any energy the last 10 minutes of the period. 1-0 after 1.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:40 PM EST reply actions

i think murphy turned it over white had to face a 2v1 low.

by Imperator_Celtic on Nov 4, 2009 7:41 PM EST reply actions

Well...

this is going to be a tougher game than the first meeting in a sense. You know the Caps will be playing twice as hard to silence the “Ovechkin is the whole team” preachers.

by HELLAWAITS on Nov 4, 2009 7:57 PM EST reply actions

2nd Period Underway

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 7:58 PM EST reply actions

Score!

Rolston banks one in, a break for Rollie makes it 1-1.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:03 PM EST reply actions

Rolston (3) from Niedermayer and Langenbrunner at 3:33

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:04 PM EST reply actions

Goals are goals...

Skates..goal posts..whatever.

by HELLAWAITS on Nov 4, 2009 8:06 PM EST reply actions

Sloan a shot that Brodeur stops.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:08 PM EST reply actions

Penalty to WSH

Semin’s off for a slash. Devils get their first power play.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:13 PM EST reply actions

Second unit out first is Clarkson-Zubrus-Bergfors-Rolston-Greene

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:13 PM EST reply actions

1st unit is Niedermayer-Parise-Zajac-Langenbrunner-Murphy

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:14 PM EST reply actions

Zajac is a point man. He shoots and Varlamov makes a save.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:15 PM EST reply actions

Langenbrunner a ripper that Varlamov makes the save on.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:16 PM EST reply actions

Power Play is over.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:16 PM EST reply actions

The Defense has to learn to get some shots somewhere near the net.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:27 PM EST reply actions

Fraser got one deflected on goal. Getting closer.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:27 PM EST reply actions

How’s the game been? I’ve been dragging furniture up a few flights of stairs.

by fearloathing13 on Nov 4, 2009 8:27 PM EST reply actions

Great play from Parise to Halischuk, but the shot denied.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:28 PM EST reply actions

Parise’s been the best Devil, getting a chance almost everytime he’s out there. He’s due.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:28 PM EST reply actions

And a fight...

It’s Pelley and Chris Clark.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:29 PM EST reply actions

Not too much landing, Pelley the takedown.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:29 PM EST reply actions

2nd Period Over

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:33 PM EST reply actions

Brick City Bar & Grill on Chico Eats.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:48 PM EST reply actions

3rd Period Underway

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:50 PM EST reply actions

Laich a solid shot up high that Marty stops.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:51 PM EST reply actions

Greene a ripper from the right wing side that Varlamov snatches.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:52 PM EST reply actions

Clarkson a nice move to get by the defense, but he ripped one wide.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:54 PM EST reply actions

Brodeur a great save on Semin, and then another one on a long blast from the point.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:54 PM EST reply actions

Penalty to WSH

Mike Knuble for a Cross Check.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 8:58 PM EST reply actions

I really like whats going on with the lines right now.

Parise – Zajac – Bergfors

Rolston – Zubrus – Langenbrunner

by they can take a player but not the core on Nov 4, 2009 8:58 PM EST reply actions

I hope we get to see that first line combo for a long time to come.

by fearloathing13 on Nov 4, 2009 9:01 PM EST up reply actions

Devils don’t get much on the powerplay. A deflection in front is miraculously stopped by Varlamov.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:01 PM EST reply actions

Pelley sent one in front that went off Varlamov and just away from Halischuk.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:04 PM EST reply actions

Power Play to the Devils

Semin a hook.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:11 PM EST reply actions

BERGFORS SCORES! 2-1!

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:12 PM EST reply actions

Bergfors with a BIG slapper after a great rush and combo passing play between Zajac and Parise and the Devils lead.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:13 PM EST reply actions

Bergfors (2) from Parise and Zajac at 11:20

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:14 PM EST reply actions

Beg your pardon, that’s Bergfors’ 3rd.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:17 PM EST reply actions

Parise never touched it, so it’ll likely be Zajac’s goal eventually.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:23 PM EST reply actions

Semin’s off again.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:23 PM EST reply actions

yay

by Nothinggoespast on Nov 4, 2009 9:23 PM EST reply actions

this capitals goalie has the best mask in the NHL.

by they can take a player but not the core on Nov 4, 2009 9:25 PM EST reply actions

What is it?

by Nothinggoespast on Nov 4, 2009 9:25 PM EST reply actions

Semin on a breakaway either misses or Brodeur gets a piece.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:26 PM EST reply actions

Half the mask is American theme, other is Russian. He looks like two face from a distance

by they can take a player but not the core on Nov 4, 2009 9:26 PM EST reply actions

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:28 PM EST reply actions

1:20 left as of …. now

by they can take a player but not the core on Nov 4, 2009 9:28 PM EST reply actions

Empty Net

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:28 PM EST reply actions

Marty needs to be more aggressive with the guy in front of him…he just let Knuble stand there on that goal.

by Marty 4 Prez on Nov 4, 2009 9:29 PM EST reply actions

Mike Greene just iced it. hes silly

by they can take a player but not the core on Nov 4, 2009 9:30 PM EST reply actions

Devils Win

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:31 PM EST reply actions

Recap at some point tonight. See you then.

by Steve Lepore on Nov 4, 2009 9:31 PM EST reply actions

Bergfors must have gotten the credit for the 3rd, final, and game winning goal.

by they can take a player but not the core on Nov 4, 2009 9:34 PM EST reply actions

wow 2 goals pretty nice
