| 0:00.0 | Alan May, I want you to explain the unexplainable. |
| 0:03.0 | How is it that the caps have beaten the very good Bruins team 14 straight times? |
| 0:09.2 | They've won eight straight their place at TD Garden. |
| 0:12.3 | And during the 14 game run, they've more than doubled up the Bruins. |
| 0:16.1 | 45, 21 in goals. |
| 0:18.0 | Braden Holpey's goals against in this run is like in the mid-ones. It is absolute |
| 0:24.6 | pure demolition every single time these two teams play. I think the Caps forward matchup against |
| 0:31.3 | the Bruins defense is the thing. It's Braden Hopi's been wonderful. Tuka Rask, who didn't get |
| 0:36.1 | to play tonight, has been horrendous in this. |
| 0:55.3 | But I think when it comes to the Bruins defense, right now, Brandon Carlo, he's not a skater, in my opinion, in today's hockey. Zedano Chara, he's a guy that I think the caps go after rather than go away from, where he can just use his active stick. They make him turn. They make him tired. Kevin Miller, not a great skater, not fleet of foot. |
| 0:56.8 | The caps take advantage of those guys. |
| 0:54.5 | Krug, Grug. is active stick. They make them turn. They make them tired. Kevin Miller, not a great skater, |
| 0:59.8 | not fleet of foot. The caps take advantage of those guys. Krug, Grellcheck, or I can never say to pronounce his name, but they're smallish guys. And they can't play physical. The caps have |
| 1:04.4 | big, heavy guys that can wheel with the puck as well. They play well on the boards. They own the |
| 1:09.7 | net front, and they keep the Bruins to the |
| 1:11.6 | perimeter. I just think confidence becomes a thing, but I think it's the forward units of the |
| 1:17.2 | caps to the defense of the Bruins. That matchup is heavily swayed in the caps favor. |
| 1:22.7 | Ryan, Billy, it was like Ovi could just smell John Tavares getting close. |
| 1:28.7 | Tavares scored two goals, 28 and 29, got within one of Ovi for the NHL lead. |
| 1:34.1 | And Ovi scores his 31st and then empty net goal for his 32nd. |
| 1:40.0 | After having one goal in 10 games, he gets a pair tonight against the Bruins team. |
| 1:44.0 | He's put up huge numbers against. Ovi is a quintessential frontrunner, man. Once he gets out ahead of the pack, hard to catch. He knows what's going on. He watches. He knows. He does, and he still has the NHL leading goals, and the Caps still have a 14-game win streak over Boston. I'm Rob Carlin. |
