    The match-up all of the marketing people in the NHL were waiting for is upon us. Caps vs Pens. Ovechkin vs Crosby. It’s time for these two teams to rekindle the rivalry that was born 7 years ago when the Pens dispatched our Caps in 7 games. (Side-note, holy moly it’s been 7 years since that series!?)

    The winner of this series is going to represent the East in the Stanley Cup Final, the next round doesn’t even matter. I would put a large sum of money on that prediction. You can see who Peter and Ian, along with ya boi Keith, a coin, think will win this series HERE. Just don’t look in the comments and see my prediction though….

    We’re back to square one and Game One. Liveblog below.

    They’re handing out throw-able objects. Don’t throw them.

    He’s obviously just supporting his local band. What’s wrong with that?

    First Period

    PP was working early.

    that would have been a nice assist pic.twitter.com/umi7mK4rDB

    Pat reading my mind.

    For all the things Trotz does well, I find it mind boggling that Chimera over Burakosvky on PP has lasted an *entire season*

    — Pat Holden (@pfholden) April 29, 2016

    Andre just prefers the 2nd round.

    CFTC: Uhhhhh that period was promising as hell. Have to stay out of the box though, as we saw how scary their PP is. Burakovsky gets on the board and looks like he’s flying tonight. 1-0 Caps after 1.

    Second Period

    He complained about this call. You can’t do that.

    Lovejoy makes it 1-1.

    Malkin makes it 2-1.

    TJ SOCHI MAKES IT 2-2.

    Malkin goes swimming and should be fined.

    and finally the ref has had enough. pic.twitter.com/9PzjBojudm

    Jay Beagle has a stick lodged between his visor and helmet.

    CFTC: That was a garbage period. We got away from everything we were doing well. Not moving our feet, long shifts and losing battles down low. 2-2 after 2.

    Third Period

    TJ WANTS MOAR 3-2.

    Garbage hit from Willy. Never gonna defend this.

    Yeah, this is bad. pic.twitter.com/Z82F74ZAFS

    Bonino ties it up at 3-3.

    Chimera comes about as close as you can get to making this one 4-3.

    Nicky with a fantastic pass. Gotta think #8 needs to find a way to get that puck past Murray…

    👀 Nicky on this play… #RockTheRed pic.twitter.com/u85OOIs4TS

    — Washington Capitals (@Capitals) April 29, 2016

    CFTC: Another meh period. Our only real chances are coming on counter-attacks. No real zone time. It’d be nice if Justin Williams could find one here. 3-3 after 3.

    Overtime

    This close.

    TIMOTHY LEIF HAT TRICK TO END IT.

    CFTC: Game One TO THE GOOOOOOOD GUYS. LETS GOOOOOO.

    Final score: 4-3 Caps in OT.
