i think when nicky has the puck and controls the play he slows it down.ut a player like that you got to find other ways to keep possession of the puck so whether it's getting it in, you know, other guys making sure that you aren't just throwing pucks awachlt you have to compensate for him being out. >> a pivotal game. game four is usually very deciding. it can determine a lot in a series. you know, you just want to try and even the series and do what you can everybody knows what's going on and what's come to light for us. so, you know, i think everybody is going to keep doing, giving everything they've got. >> marcus johansen and the capitals desperately need this game. it would tie the series at two games apiece before saturday's game in boston. it has been one of the craziest post seasons in nhl history and no series wilder than the pennsylvania series. the keystone state. it's the flyers and the penguins. and it has been ugly. last night the penguins exploded for ten goals to stave off elimination in philadelphia. this was another crazy one. not many f

and the puck. passes to john carlson. and off the stick of matt hendri hendricks scores his first ever playoff goal. and trying to even it up. he shot off the pads. and diving in to poke the rebound in. and we're tied at 1. seemingly stayed that way forever. finally, we go to overtime. and about 3 minutes in, the bruins failed to clear the puck. turn it over. carrying it the other way. backhanded shot in. that's blocked. no. it's not going to be saved again. look who was there. joel ward, the first-year capital puts it in. and the caps eliminate the defending stanley cup champions. they've celebrate on boston's ice, joe ward, the unexpected hero. so, was it more excitement, or relief? >> a bit of both. the fact that i got to contribute, for this team. and on the scoreboard. and at the same time, just a, advance was the key, and i knew coming in here, especially from the summertime. to make a push in the playoffs. definitely, a relief to get past the round. >> 1%, 2% better. in the, in the series. and got the final bounce.

. >> a lot of hitting and pucks hitting the post, unfortunately, for the capitals.e didn't go as planned against the rangers in new york. the bounces not going their way. as i said, a ton of capital shots bounced off the post, and rookie/goalie braden holtby led in a couple softees as the caps trail in a playoff series 1-0. braden holtby was so good against boston in his first playoff series, his second one off to a rocky start. second period, mike green trying to play some defense. and wraps him up here. but just bowls through him on his way to score. capitals down 1-0. later in the second, this was tasty. brooks like, a beautiful saucer pass. look at him flip it up and over the ranger sticks right to jason chumera. he goes right between the legs. we're tied at 1. then in the third, the rangers up 2-1 and adding some more. brad richards with the puck, and he goes right between the wickets of braden holtby. the rangers only take 14 shots, and they beat the capitals 3-1. the caps know they have to play better. >> they brought their game up a little. we need to come u

with it tied at 5, a stick comes out of the side and pokes the puck away. the ice and touched the puck. not even close. >> ryan said let me just interfere. let me reach in and poke the puck away and help my team. he scored the only goal in the shootout. the sharks win. how about that? >> no one wants to go in with a loss. i think it was a big game for us. they're at home. they wanted to clinch the division so it was a big game for them. both teams played that way. but now we have a chance to go home and win the division. and that's all you can ask for and we've won it the last few years and we would like to keep it that way. >> the rest i guess just didn't see it. it was the -- >> saints audio aftermath. uh-oh. seems like the person who released it just wasn't cool with those who actually recorded it. here's the story right here. as the former saint, steve glaison battling als. so shawn pappery does a documentary on him and was in the locker room when the defensive coordinator said what he said. of course it was all over the place yesterday. but apparently

the puck will drop game 3 between boston and washington joining us now to talk about that, carl, onethe star defense men for washington capitals thank you for joining us, tell me about game two the atmosphere of being in boston getting that double overtime win what is that like. >> unbelievable, you know, any sort of overtime game is very emotion fall for all of us, and you know, if you win that game it is huge if you are confident if you lose it, it is not a good feeling we felt that after losing the first one buys were frustrated with that, getting -- guys were frustrated with that, getting that win, is a good feeling for us. >> is it heart stopping for the player or do you block that all out i have a job to do a task at hand for fans we are watching every shot on goal you are going crazy how do you keep it in check. >> it is not that bad, i have said this to a few people i think it is tougher for fans, friends and family to watch as it is for us to play we don't thinkant that all we are doing is thinking about going out doing our job and doing it as hard as we can you are exhauste

we turned the puck over a few times. and holts was very good. you know, he stood tall and kimd out a lot of rubber tonight. >> that goes to show how thick his skin is to be able to bounce back after four goals last game. and people are saying maybe the floodgates are open. and obviously he did a good job. that's a very veteran-like response the way he played. >> all right. so game 5 in boston on saturday. that's 3:00 right here on nbc. and right now they're thinking that game 6 here in d.c. at verizon center going to be at 3:00 on nbc as well. back-to-back games. you've got to go to boston and then you have to come back. not much time in between games. >> that's kind of rough, man. >> that's the way they're going to do it in this series. they've been playing well. >>> things have been going great for the nationals. they were due for a letdown. they have 162 games. tonight they had one. starting pitcher edwin jackson unable to duplicate his complete game. jackson only lasted five innings and got roughed up a bit. this was not a night that edwin j
