but if you want to break down michal neuvirth's night, he was dynamic in the beginning.side to side, with a pretty good glove hand. but in the situation where he start letting in bad goals -- >> well, a couple in a flurry right there. you see, right off the start of the game, having trouble with the rebound control. here he gets across, does a good job. doesn't let the rebound get out. i thought he wasover playing pucks early --over playing pucks early on. losing track of the puck like that. you can't -- it is a pretty simple shot from outside. tough hang on to that and he didn't recover very well. a little while later, same thing. no doubt about it for him. that is really something. he has to be outside of the crease. the puck stop. shoots it, possibly, hagman shoots it over the top to have net. i am not sure what happened to him there. just over thinking, being a young goal-tender that he is. he was definitely rattled i recall. he started out very good in the first 5 or 10 minutes to have game but he got rattled after that. >> he did very good at the american hockey le

out of the air, by michal neuvirth. caps in front by 2.n a number of ways when you look at the nhl plus/minus leaders. >> greg: looking there, and there is the sergeant. i salute him in his plus/minus, joe. terrific. simplefying the game, staying back, really getting the red light and staying home. misses wide. >> joe: and they had return there. >> greg: even better than the first one as he came right across. look at him using the glove, neuvirth showing signs of that in the 1st. >> joe: a 21-year-old czech. another draft pick of the capitals 06. turned out to be quite nice. matt bradley will spill it on the toronto half. laich organizes with otherwise. and -- otherwise. names there. -- otherwise. i thought they usually get home work calls, joe, here in toronto. >>> the one goal here compliments of ovechkin. >> greg: and down wide. able to wrap it off the boards, all the way. as green swings t break out begins. right on target for brooks laich who leads the team to the power play goals. challenge by primeau. ovechkin takes it on the hop. a

for me, michal neuvirth went down too early, joe. he was down before the shot left his stick, and that allowed the forward, hagman to raise the puck, to score his 15th and tie up the game once again. 3:05 to go in the 2nd period. and the fingers. throughout showing his stuff. green will turn with it with 2:40 to go in period 2. and dodging over there. came to help. and toronto has 3 goals in this game. backstrom on the back check. semin the other way. alexander semin on theover lap with ovechkin. on the overlap. and he doesn't get there in time. right there so they can regroup. a minute-5 until the second intermission. and primeau is over there. and high by neuvirth. and on the boards for ponikarovsky. the toronto mapleleafs are skating through the puck, getting there first and starting to win some to have little battles below the top of the circle. that is case in point in the last couple of checks. and brendan morrison trailing the play. and knuble has the rebound for washington. erased by ponikarovsky. the final minute of the 2nd

michal neuvirth back to the post. needing to get it out for washington.line matchup here. gagner settling. stone just off the bench for pat quinn. 32 in the blow drifting below the goal line for brule. some room, high slot back hander on the outside of the goal. staios out for a moment. he didn't get it out. >> craig: he's so tired joe, and they were stats in their own zone, caught out way too long on the shift. fortunately for the caps, it didn't cost them. >> joe: semin for the steal, no one there were washington. coming wing to wing. trying to snap out of the lengthy goal route for himself. >> craig: six or seven games without a goal, joe. he has had the two best chances in this period and in this game. >> joe: the breakaway in the second period, the 1:05 mark. depositing the rebound for the only red light cogli aan -- cogliano shifting back. for pe potulny. oh, no, it goes in. 2-0 edmonton. [ horn sounding ] >> craig: you could just feel the blow, and i was going to say the ice rink here in edmonton has been tilted in the favor of the hometown team. t
