and poti. looking for a 6th. and the mapleleafs still at the center.and wilson wants to get some fresh troops out there. and shaone morrisonn waiting for bruce boudreau to do likewise. and waiting. mapleleafs leading by 2. they will be in no hurry now. they want to work the full length of the rink there. and good save. the mapleleafs here at home. things have not always been rosie, but there is still a short time left in this game. welcome home, man. >> joe: and we are back. i hope you are enjoying this game. backstrom, with a pass there. and joe, wide to the goal. look out. the referee. his life had to pass before him. [ laughing ] >> greg: look at the photographer. you knew it, too. >> greg: he is laughing. he has a lot of shots. this one into the corner there. shots per game. highest per game average. red wings 34.2. toronto a 100th way from them. carried away. there. and neuvirth there, squeezing it with the catching glove. no problem for the caps net minder here. the only forward and only player that played all 82 games. so, he was healthy all las

poty had time. gilbert is there. american born blue liner getting help from horcoff. no score on the big boards, where it marts the most. the capitals with the highest first scoring team in the business. stone letting it go. >> craig: that's a great save. there ryan stone coming in, all alone. he's a second rounder, joe. and he just let that fly. good breakout and passing sequence there. i like his start so far for neuvirth. much better than not carrying over his floor play against the league. >> joe: fun to talk to mike when he learned to speak english in plymouth. >> craig: he had to get used to the nfl shots and puck movement. when you don't play a lot, there's a big change from playing in the american league to the nhl. >> joe: quinten laing back. now they are back in transition. throwing a shoulder in penner's direction. >> craig: helping out his line mate. >> joe: quinten laing just about to full speed with respect to the amount of weight he loss with the jaw injury. >> craig: he will consistently have to eat a lot more rib. >> joe: he got prime rib, didn't he?

bumped to poti. just over a minute in regulation. nilsson did not keep it away. back pedaling away from alex semin. rexall place a much quieter place in the third. take nothing chances, sealing it to the ice. our capitals player the game compliments of the palm restaurant, $100 gift certificate to the great 8. >> craig: two goals and assists in the third period alone. they wanted to leave the west in style, picking up some wins, and they fought hard to come back from the 2-0 deficit. well done performance here in the 3rd period by alex, and the rest of his teammates. >> joe: 48.3 seconds away from the finish line. with washington on top by 2, and the oilers diagramming some strategy, morgan franklin pivotal play. >> craig: just on the wrap around, again two shots on it. keeping the goal tender along the ice. poor defense in front of the net. you can always give the guy the original shot but giving ovechkin and super players in the nfl second and third whacks at it, you're looking for trouble. alex found his way around the net, and he's been the total difference.
