Every single series the Caps have played in since the lock out has gone to 7 games, meaning every single playoff series that Alex Ovechkin, Mike Green, Nicklas Backstrom, and many others have participated in have gone to 7 games, unfortunately they have lost 2 of them and only won one of them.

I think that it’s clear that Washington is the better team, but in the NHL you don’t just get a free pass because you are good, you need to want to win.

Yes Halak is the main reason that the Canadiens won Game 6, but that is no excuse, there wasn’t nearly enough traffic in front of the net, they need to play like they did when they came back in game number 2, that’s how you win playoff hockey games.

A great example of that is Mike Green, he played hard in game 6, and did some nice moves to create some shots on net, but there was nobody in front to screen or tip the shot until Mike’s final shot that was deflected in by Fehr for the Caps lone goal of the game.

Mike got the assist on that goal, he was an even plus/minus and got 6 shots in almost 27 minutes of ice time, which is quite a bit considering he has 4 penalty minutes.

Here are the video highlights from last nights game:
