It's the only way they can win

 

[a916]

Huh? A 5 minute major for a cross check to a player who kinda fell into it?

 

[zroid]

uh

welp

 

[Brashnir]

What is the 5 minutes for? Because it's Crosby?

of course.

 

[kassatsu]

Can't really fault Niskanen, but I hope Crosby can make a comeback this series.

 

[imBask]

What is the 5 minutes for? Because it's Crosby?

apparently it's illegal to crosscheck a guy in the face

 

[ColdPizza]

Oh yah. Getting chippy now.

 

[megachao24]

Oof, that's a bad hit on Crosby.

 

[a916]

apparently it's illegal to crosscheck a guy in the face

While he got ihim in the face... did Niskanen expect him to fall down too?

Well now it's going to get ugly.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Nice, capitals being trash. Guess they realize series is over.

 

[mo60]

The Penguins just killed their PP I think. Hope crosby is doing okay.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Please be okay Sid

 

[a916]

Nice, capitals being trash. Guess they realize series is over.

I'm not sure what you mean by that? Malkin skated to the net and got hit... and all hell broke loose.

 

[calder]

Yeah fuck the Caps, what a shit play. Hope they get swept now.

 

[ColdPizza]

At this rate Ovie better watch his back.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I hope Washington never wins a fucking cup

Same with the Wizards in the NBA

 

[Marvie_3]

Did Crosby realize the season was over when he hacked a guy in the balls?

 

[Futureman]

Let me guess, Crosby concussion....

 

[calder]

Worst, stupidest thing I've read all day, and I spent time reading about politics on twitter.

 

[Kifimbo]

After seeing the gif a few times, Niskanen had plenty of time to react.

Crosby also received a pretty big slash right before.

And Caps are headhunting so far.

 

[a916]

That Niskanen thing was ugly, but the Caps are hitting for blood (with mostly legal hits) here.

Worst, stupidest thing I've read all day, and I spent time reading about politics on twitter.

Calm down, I didn't know he had enough time to react, he pushed through his neck. He probably had enough time to not extend his arms or pull back.

 

[Yawnier]

I agree Creeper

Cool? No one complained about legal hits. It's not like this series hasn't been chippy before tonight.

Just commenting on things being a bit more physical tonight.

 

[Marvie_3]

Holy shit

 

[PillarEN]

That's crazy close haha.

 

[a916]

How the hell did that not go in?!

 

[Holiday]

Caps have chosen the dark side?

 

[ElephantShell]

I've seen in the rulebook that some penalties become an automatic major if there's a serious injury as a result. Dunno if cross-checking is one of them but that would explain the 5 min penalty if so.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Wow, still not sure how that didn't get in the net. Absurd.

 

[Socreges]

One player his Crosby with his stick, the other hits him with arm.

Both players did it on purpose, both should be thrown out.

Washington: You lose.

Crosby began to fall because their skates collided. Watch the replay. There was no slash (I don't think!)

It looked like Niskanen put up his arms/stick out of instinct since Crosby was going to collide with him. Didn't look intentional to me, though I've only seen one angle.

 

[megachao24]

Winnik saved a goal, sweet Jesus.

 

[hwalker84]

Please someone give me a Crosby update. Currently at the game.

 

[PillarEN]

Evil

 

[a916]

Please someone give me a Crosby update. Currently at the game.

NBC feed had an interview with Sullivan. Siad we hope to get him back but no actual update.

 

[mo60]

I don't think the Penguins are going to win this game at this point.

 

[Marvie_3]

Yesssss

 

[megachao24]

Backstrom scores.

 

[a916]

Capitals getting some good bounces for the first time in this series.

I don't think the Penguins are going to win this game at this point.

Caps have blown a lot of leads and Penguins have erased a lot of them.

 

[ShaneB]

I don't think the Penguins are going to win this game at this point.

Yup. 46 minutes left. It's over!

[Alucard]

Fuck the Caps, ya'll.

 

[Line_HTX]

Bad time to take a 5 on 3 there and let them score.

Shame.

 

[mo60]

Yup. 46 minutes left. It's over!

I think it's like 60-40 in favour of the capitals right now in terms of winning this game.

Get out of here. You and dude on Twitter. Watch Crosby's left skate curl around toward Ovechkin as he skates toward Crosby. That's a collision, not a slew foot.

No way to know for sure but worse part of Crosby injury appeared to be his left knee and high ankle turning over under him as he fell.

damn

Slew foot, two-handed slash, cross-check to the head in about 2 seconds.

lol nope, not a slew foot at all, not even an infraction

 

[Fate_Shirou]

Malkin needs to step it up

 

[lamaroo]

damn

I thought that as I saw the hit, but wasn't sure since he also got cross checked to the face.
