Well that was stressful, really I'm just relieved we didn't blow it. It seemed like we were steamrolling them until Thompson let in that weak goal on the pk.
There was a Flyers fan in our section that, about halfway through the second, stood up and cheered an inconsequential stop by their goaltender. I don't think it was even a shot, really - it just slid in his direction from the blue line during a line change our something like that. We laughed and applauded the Flyers fan. But I think the players heard him. And woke up.
I didn't think that was a weak goal-it looked like a pretty wicked shot to me. But the Caps just looked like they ran out of energy.
