The Caps are back in Philadelphia and on this lovely Sunday afternoon we’ll see if they can cash in on their 3rd opportunity to eliminate the Flyers and move on to the 2nd round to face the Pittsburgh Penguins. The effort the Caps put out on Friday was phenomenal and if they can repeat it again tonight, I have a feeling dancing will be going on in the postgame.

The stonewall that is Michal Neuvirth is still in net for the Flyers, Brooks Orpik is still hurt and I just woke up.

Pregame

Weber is in for Chorney. I don’t know why either.

Let’s hope his aim stays this way.

Joe B only speaks truths.

First Period

Another lineup change. It looks like 90 and 65 have switched places.

Again.

Let’s see if any of these end up on the ice today. That would be nice.

CFTC: I’m so tired of Michal Neuvirth playing way above his actual talent level. Fine first period, have to score on this powerplay, because the calls will start going the other way. 0-0 after 1.

Second Period

The entire officiating crew has lost their minds.

Backstrom slams one home to make it 1-0 Caps.

Brayden Schenn jumps off a trampoline into a check targeted at Oshie’s head. Honest player.

CFTC: Another good period. Survived the utter nonsense from the refs and beat Neuvirth. Keep it up. Flyers will start taking more chances and we need to capitalize. 1-0 Caps after 2.

Third Period

Sit down 25.

GULP.

WOOOOOOOOOO

Final score: 1-0 Caps (Win series 4-2)
