    Round 2, Game 3 Live Blog: Caps at Pens

    The series has moved to Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh all tied up 1-1 after Eric Fehr dispatched the Caps in Game Two at Verizon Center. The Caps are going to have to win a game in Pittsburgh, a place where they went 1-1 during the regular season, if they want to see the Eastern Conference Final.

    Brooks Orpik has been suspended by the NHL’s Department of Player Safety for 3 games after his late hit to the head on Olli Maata in Game Two. This likely means that Dmitry Orlov will return to the defensive corps and that Matt Niskanen, Karl Alzner and John Carlson are probably all never going to leave the ice.

    Let’s get a win eh? Also, NEW SHIRTS! Liveblog below.

    Looks like MAF is on his way back.

    Marc-Andre Fleury is the backup goalie tonight.

    First Period

    Murray stops Oshie in tight after the referee decides to ignore an obvious hold.

    Kris Letang headshots Marcus Johansson. Should be suspended.

    CFTC: That was a better period than we had all last game and yet we’re down 2-0, because the Caps get no bounces. Letang should be gone for 2+ games, garbage hit. Let’s get back into this one on this PP.

    Second Period

    PK is still so good.

    #Caps PK now 33-for-34 in the postseason vs #Flyers (23/24) & #Pens (10/10) https://t.co/zWhXEO8MRM

    Yea whatever. 3-0 Pens

    much better look at it pic.twitter.com/B4PwQ8wLb7

    — steph (@myregularface) May 3, 2016

    CFTC: Want more bad bounces, you got more bad bounces. We apparently used all of our luck when Steve Mason forgot how to play hockey. We’re still playing well, which is a good sign. Only have to win one in Pittsburgh. 3-0 Pens after 2.

    Third Period

    Holtby did some cool stuff.

    Oh hi Ovie, my name is Top Shelf and you just smacked me right in the mouth.

    Williams makes it 3-2 with a minute left and the goalie pulled.

    CFTC: Whatever. We played real well. Good signs tonight.

    Final score: 3-2 Pens.

    The recap is up HERE if you still want to ingest more hockey, because you’re a masochist.
