seguin at 11:57. about 3:30 later, ovechkin answered on a faceoff win by backstrom. that's why we are going to sudden death overtime.

hi, everyone. welcome to your subway intermission report. welcome to the 12th overtime game of the 2012 stanley cup playoffs. regulation time insufficient. alexander ovechkin had the

equalizer. you said he had a debt to pay. is the debt paid? >> it's partly paid. he needs to win it in overtime then it's really paid. outstanding job by dale hunter. great recognition. he put ovechkin back with his buddy nicklas backstrom. faceoff win by backstrom. hunter recognizes the jump is back in ovechkin's game. changes the double-shift here from alexander seguin. quick wrist shot off the crossbar. rubbing his head there. ovechkin skater, dale hunter recognizes and using him. >> see more of him in overtime? >> you'll see a ton of ovechkin in overtime. the jump is there, excitement is there and seven shots on goal in the game. >> we made a lot of boston's big guns not putting up big numbers. are the bruins so dangerous because so many guys can be used? >> scoring by committee. never more evident than this

afternoon. rich peverley one of the most underrated forwards. watch the hustle. this is great stuff by a guy that wins the draw here. hustles to the front of the net. gets the redirect goal and bruins on the board. another guy i think is the most underrated defenseman is andrew ference. he turned into a terrific defender and knows how to jump up in the play. take a chance on occasion. this is why they are where they are at. bruins made it interesting thanks to ference and peverley. >> we are headed towards overtime. philadelphia is the first team in the east to move on. virtuoso performance by claude giroux sent the pittsburgh penguins marching home.

welcome back to subway intermission report. first round series that generated the most buzz, most bruises and most goals was pittsburgh at philadelphia. earlier today the flyers put an end to it. in philadelphia, first period, 32 seconds in, claude giroux finding the back of the net. >> terrific wrist shot by giroux. you have to love the energy he brought to the game, really to the entire series to get the flyers started. >> after the second period, 2-0. make it three. eric gustafsson, his first career playoff goal.

danny briere the answer. 34 seconds after pittsburgh made it 3-1. >> the stake in the heart by briere. he knew it was in all along. there was a little question mark. no doubt about it. >> danny briere, 104 career playoff points, 103 career playoff games. the philadelphia flyers, 5-1 winners over the pittsburgh penguins. the favorite to come out of the eastern conference. the favorite to win the stanley cup is now going home. philadelphia takes down the series four games to two. these two teams, a lot of talent out there. sidney crosby considered by many the top player in the world. yevgeny malkin the top player of the season. >> top player of the postseason and top player in today's game, claude giroux. you wanted to see a statement by your best player early. that is what claude giroux did off the opening drop. boom. there you go, sidney crosby. have a seat. he makes a big statement to his team. right in front of the pittsburgh

penguins' bench. this is what you want from your best player. he answers it 32 seconds into the first period with a ripper past fleury. great start to the game for the philadelphia flares. they never looked back. thanks to claude giroux, they move on. >> have you seen a more impactful first 32 seconds of a game? >> no. probably the first six seconds. when he hits crosby, the tone was set to trumpet with the goal was more emphatic. >> six points in a single game, 14 points in a series. he's clearly elevated his play. speaking of a guy who elevates his play, danny briere. pedestrian regular season but are you surprised he had this big of an impact on the postseason? >> not at all. he's done it in 2010. helped carries the flyers on his back to the stanley cup finals. back doing it again. he had some question marks in the bass back of his mind during the regular season. he certainly showed he can do it in the playoffs.

the poise under pressure, quick shots, ability to get to the high traffic areas for a little guy, he came up huge for the flyers. look at that. finds the back of the net. pumped up, fired up. came up huge after putting on a clinic offensively throughout the series. biggest goal was scored here. penguins made it 3-1. started to get nervous? not for long. briere responds. gets it to the back of the net. fired up for good reason come playoff time. >> let's bring back to our game. we are headed to overtime down in d.c. who do you think gets the overtime winner? >> alexander ovechkin. he's got the tire and the hot hand right now for the washington capitals. determined effort from ovechkin in this game. a more confident ovechkin since he scored. >> a lot are dirty goals. i go with milan lucic. >> one for the caps, one for the bruins. we'll see how it plays out. getting set for overtime in

washington. we know one thing, for sixth straight game in the series, we'll have a one-goal game. 3-3 heading into o.t. ♪ [ male announcer ] with its track-tested suspension and the tightest turning radius in its class... ♪ ...it makes a playground out of any obstacle course. ♪ the 2012 lexus is. it isn't real performance unless it's wielded with precision. see your lexus dealer. we believe the more you know, the better you trade. so we have ongoing webinars and interactive learning, plus, in-branch seminars at over 500 locations, where our dedicated support teams help you know more

>> eddie: game six like one and two going to take extra time. >> mike: both won in boston. this is the first overtime game in washington. >> eddie: a couple of things to look ahead. i'm sure coaches are telling the players inside the locker rooms right now, your defensive zone is the farthest away from your bench. all five guys can't leave the ice. i think when you talk about the washington capitals, you've got to go with the hot hands. alexander ovechkin looks like he wants it. seven shots in the game for this point. for the boston bruins, i stay with the guy we talked about at the start of the show, tyler seguin. >> pierre: you've got a lot of people eating up a lot of

minutes. the fact of the matter is it's a long change. you've got a lot of tired people who played excessive minutes the last two days. it's probably going to come down to a fundamental mental mistake. you've got to watch the bouncing pucks. make sure if you're a forward, pucks have to be in deep if you're the last man back. you've got to be hard off the boards. you can't make fancy plays now. the situations don't encourage it. >> mike: if you just like hockey and you're not a fan of either team, it's got to be a lot of fun for you. if you are, going to be agonizing. and it will continue if the answer goes against you.

dale hunter, claude julien and their teams and their athletesw game one will need extra time to decide this. carlson connects. beagle. seidenberg there. written off by beagle. chop by chara. enough to free it up. tried to flip it along. no luck. fed back in by brouwer. side own berg run off by beagle. good effective work done by him. off bergeron to brouwer. laid on back to the point. rattled behind. could not be stopped by hendricks. back up the board, carried back out by marchand. marchand got there and the shot off by holtby. no time-outs for commercial and overtime. a shot into the catching glove

of thomas from jay beagle. the guys that have scored one before either for their teams or for prior teams are these. jason horton. sadly for bruins' fans, not available. tim thomas, 8-6 in playoff overtime. braden holtby, 1-1. this round comprises his nhl playoff career. mike green let it ahead. off the skate of johansson. poked away from seguin. back on by backstrom. johansson tried to feed in front, no luck. accelerates ahead. able to steam his way back up the ice. lucic with the shot. went wide and back off the cage. fed along by green. taken by johansson. broken up though.

lucic couldn't come up with that one. hamrlik going to work there. forces back up. johansson with the shot. kept alive. pivoting and gave it back to chara. moved on in -- chara there. can't force it by. holtby way out. >> eddie: great stick by mike green. at the last second he broke the stride and reached of chara. what a play by tyler seguin to get the puck to zdeno chara. fake shot. player down. that's ovechkin. watch the right in there by mike green. little help from braden holtby being aggressive to come all the way out. >> pierre: time-out. washington. long shift. fresh legs for boston. good time-out by dale hunter.

>> eddie: talking about the numbers a little bit earlier. two games in overtime. chris kelly back in game one over the glove of braden holtby. then in game two, double overtime. nicklas backstrom, short side on tim thomas. somebody's going to be a hero here in game six. >> pierre: what a chance on zdeno chara there. was really strong earlier in the neutral zone. >> mike: rich peverley to take the draw opposite backstrom. won cleanly to the back. a blast and that ricocheted wide. chara waiting for this one. backhands it in deep again. green played it along. ricocheted on back to chara. bounced one along.

hopped up out of play. no penalty to come from this, of course. >> eddie: great care for the capitals to get the bodies out on the ice. >> mike: it's the additional challenge for a coach when you have the long change in sudden death overtime. and you need short shifts. how do you get them? >> eddie: like i said earlier, all five players can't change. you have to just change like a domino effect. we don't want to allow them to make that quick pass all the way up. >> mike: marchand in the shooting hole. peverley can get it to him. it came off the back. ference there. hands on to marchand. shot deflected -- oh, it didn't go! off the pipe! brouwer gets it up. carried on by beagle.

beagle, shot grabbed thigh high and held by thomas. >> eddie: bergeron gets this puck back to the point. he looks for the stick. marchand off the stick of patrice bergeron. off the crossbar and behind holtby. >> pierre: now carlson is being told, make sure you pick up the right area. bergeron makes a really good read. >> eddie: two close calls for the bruins. >> mike: they win the draw thanks to krejci. on for the drop back. milan lucic so ference can settle things down. making the sweep is krejci. trouble there though. ference had a little trouble handling. though it does come back to him. as they say in hockey, better next time. ference brings this ahead.

he's gotten it to the red line and back in. off to wideman. rattled all the way back down so ference will go back and get another icing. 3:03 played in the first sudden death overtime period. ovechkin remains out. backstrom and johansson. lucic is directly behind krejci if he can win it. similar play on the opposite side resulted in the tying goal from ovechkin for washington. hamrlik led it across. backstrom couldn't go at the pass the way he wanted it. he scores! tyler seguin! and the series will go back to boston for a seventh.

from the very beginning, ed olcyyk said at the top of the show for seguin. >> eddie: tyler seguin, earlier he had a chance. give away krejci to lucic. shot out of a can, tyler seguin. hold, hold, hold, wide-open net. you've got yourself a game seven back in boston on wednesday night. the forced play there by

nichol nicholas banicklas backstr backstrom. tiger seguin looks like he is going to shot the puck. hold it. open the play up. continue on past holtby and puts it in the wide-open net. >> pierre: take us through the winning goal. >> oh -- just happened. lucic gave me a pass. i had to take the shot. lucky it went in. >> pierre: on the go-ahead goal in the third period, you told me after you came off you weren't scoring so you shot it at his head. were you being serious? >> dead serious. i hadn't been scoring. he's a good goaltender. got to give him that respect. going down the wide, shot at his head and hoped for the best. >> pierre: what was said in the dressing room before overtime? >> win this period, you win the game. that's about it.

>> pierre: you guys look fresher. it wasn't easy. you have a lot of banged-up people. will three days off help? >> yeah. i think so. we have a lot of character. couple days off, play at home and get it rocking will be good. >> pierre: how much do you draw on last year going to the stanley final and winning three game sevens during the playoffs last year? >> it's huge. i feel like we have that experience advantage. hopefully, we keep it rolling during game seven. >> pierre: talk is inside your mind game seven in boston to start the game? >> crazy. still gives you the goosebumps. my first time here in the playoffs. the garden gets me rocking. >> pierre: thanks for your time. see you for game seven, tyler. >> thank you. >> mike: it is the first time a seven-game series has seen the first six games decided by the

margin of one. this one in overtime, the third overtime game, the first one here in washington and it is won by the bruins. >> eddie: it was a matter of time in this overtime for the boston bruins. had a couple of great chances early. then again a turnover. great pass by lucic. tyler seguin who had an outstanding afternoon yesterday, had nothing to show for it. today gets a goal and assist. gets the big game winner. then, the patience and subtle move with his stick to make it look like he's going to shoot the puck and just opens that blade up. that frees holtby. a wide-open net for tyler seguin. we've seen him get streaky over the course of the last two-plus hockey seasons. he's the type of guy that can be a huge factor in game seven going back home for the bruins. >> pierre: you talked about it yesterday. four shots on goal in game five. wasn't able to capitalize coming

into this game through five games. he had 20 shots on goal. krejci does a good job. lucic makes a good play. live legs kick in. fresh legs like seguin today, marchand yesterday helped the bruins. give washington a ton of credit. washington laid it on the line. it was a neutral zone turnover by backstrom and awesome finish by seguin. >> eddie: the big guys got into it offensively for the boston bruins, the guys on the capitals pat their goaltender on the backside and the head. big guys for the boston bruins got on the board the last couple of games which they had been shut out the first four of the series. big guys showed up huge in the last two. >> mike: there have been two games today. what did you think of those? you saw them back-to-back on nbc. one was the elimination of the penguins by the flyers.

other the pepetuation by the bruins. rangers tomorrow night in ottawa. ottawa can clinch that series with a home ice win. both games on the nbc sports network. phoenix and chicago tomorrow night at 9:00 eastern time at united center. >> pierre: settling of the puck by tyler seguin. bruins and capitals feel at times over the course of this series that the game has been dictated through the middle of the ice. fourth play by backstrom. good positioning by krejci. no hesitation at all. you got the team on the run. seguin puts it past braden holtby. i've been lucky enough to be in the midful those piles like that. there is no better feeling, especially the young player like tyler seguin. these are defending stanley cup champions who have a huge opportunity to continue wednesday night in boston for

game seven. >> mike: it should be noted krejci was in the corner. this time the glass held. tonight starting at 7:00/6:00 central, all new episodes of "dateline," "harry's law." tonight the l.a. kings look to close out the vancouver canucks. fans in boston and washington can see extended post game coverage of today's game on your local comcast sports net. every game, every night because it's the top. this series goes back to boston. known for smith, bobby orr. good night from washington! -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
