Well, here we go from DC. The Caps have had so many 3-1 series leads and blown them. On a day when we have tears in our eyes, we don't know if we can even bear to watch, but the arena is rocking. Bring us home a smile, boys. We could definitely use one.
CAPS STRIKE EARLY, AND TOUCH OFF A SLIGHT BRAWL AROUND THE CREASE. 1-0 CAPS.
HORRIBLE CLOSE CALL-REMEMBER THE OLD DAYS WHE PLAYERS DIDN'T WEAR HELMETS? CAPS DEFENSEMAN MIKE GREEN WENT DOWN ON THE ICE TO BLOCK A SLAPSHOT WHICH HIT HIM IN THE HEAD SO HARD THAT THE SCREWS CAME OUT OF HIS HELMET-HE WAS ABLE TO SKATE OFF-NO BLOOD, BUT THAT HAS CONCUSSION WRITTEN ALL OVER IT. BTW-THAT ABOVE PHOTO ISN'T FROM TODAY-GREEN TOOK AN EVEN MORE DEVASTATING SHOT TO THE HEAD IN FEBRUARY. THIS IS CONCERNING AS ALL SPORTS ARE BECOMING VERY PROTECTIVE OF MULTIPLE CONCUSSION SYNDROMES. END OF THE FIRST: CAPS -1 NY-nil GREEN ACTUALLY SCORED THE CAPS GOAL BEFORE LEAVING THE ICE.
