Caps Win Game 2 Lead2-0

The Caps were alive in this one. OK early rebound goal to Crosby 1-0 Pens but AO and his all Russian line would strike back when Federov to Kozlov to the the one time blast of Ovie on the left wing found back of the net 1-1. Crosby would be in front of the ent again and this is a play i think Mike green should have layed him out on but instead Crosby gets another. No worries as Steckel would return the favor after Tyler SLoan slapped one that defelcted to STeckel who banged it in 5 hole 2-2. Then Pitsburgh would have a PP fail and the Caps would get one on a trip by Malkin and they would score right after as Bakctrom won the draw Green got Ovie slid over and One timed it in 3-2. The Caps would then choose to dump and not chase on a couple possesions which really ticked me off but the AO would come with the puck up the boards and sjkate one on one with Gonhcar when ghe fired a wrister top shelf and made it 4-2. The Pens would get aPP and pull the goalie for a 6 on 4 and Crosby would tip a puck in the air off Varlies mask and in but that would be it and the game eneded 4-3 Caps. The PK great as they had to kill a 5 on3 and Letang jsut getting out of the box had a clear path top the ent but SImeon Varlamov stopped him. Laich had a nice hit on Crsoby instead of giving him room right in front of the ent and that's what the Caps need to do all the time to SIfd the Kid because he sits in front alot and as soon as the puck is playable by him level him and take him oput of the play. Caps lead the series 2-0 and head to Pitssbutgh where they need to win one if not both of the enxt two and really put themseklves in a gooa position to advance.
