| 0:00.0 | Well, I'm still a little stunned. The Caps had a 5-1 lead with six and a half minutes to go in the second period and lost. |
| 0:07.1 | Alan May, does NHL stand for the no-hit league? |
| 0:10.5 | I went to a hockey game and the ballet broke out today. |
| 0:14.2 | I hope it changes. And I'm hoping after the Board of Governors meeting this week, that they let physical hockey come back |
| 0:22.1 | because they're penalizing a lot of great hits. |
| 0:24.8 | Players are now scared to hit. |
| 0:26.3 | They don't want to be in the penalty box, but it's not the fun to watch the sweep check hockey. |
| 0:30.8 | Brian McNally, what the hell just happened? |
| 0:34.4 | Yeah, who knows, Rob? |
| 0:36.3 | That was one that you're not going to be able to explain. |

Getslough on the feed for Sherwood. Sherwood to the front, deflected. Look out. It's tucked home. Anaheim has the lead. It is 6.5. |
| 1:46.0 | Thanks to Aberg. |
| 1:48.2 | It all started right in the neutral zone. |
| 1:50.7 | Hap hazard play. |
| 1:52.0 | That leads to speed by Getslap. |
| 1:54.4 | So it's all Getslap and his reach that end up leading to this go-ahead goal. |
