OF COURSE. This would happen just hours after I published that “my money is on the Caps-Pens game” for an overtime game and a game 7 win. The Pittsburgh Penguins absolutely killed the Washington Capitals tonight in DC to advance to the Eastern Conference finals. They will face the winner of the Boston-Carolina game 7. The final score was 6-2.
It all started simply enough, by a power play goal from Sidney Crosby 12:36 into the first period. And then a suspicious thing happened… the Pens scored again. Craig Adams scored eight seconds later to give the Pens a 2-0 lead. Every game in this series up until tonight was decided by one goal, except game 5 when the Penguins won by 2 goals.
