| 0:00.0 | Brent Johnson, this script feels familiar where the caps play well in the building in Pittsburgh, |
| 0:06.3 | whether it is the old igloo, whether it's PVG paints, wherever it is, they play well for |
| 0:11.1 | large stretches. And then small stretches, Pittsburgh fires in a bunch of goals. It happened again, |
| 0:17.4 | three goals in a minute 48 and an otherwise pretty good road game for the caps. |
| 0:22.6 | I thought they played a great road game. |
| 0:24.9 | I mean, they had great pressure on the puck. |
| 0:26.7 | They had great forecheck down low and below the goal line of the Pittsburgh Penguins. |
| 0:32.0 | But you know what? |
| 0:32.9 | It's one small play, one of Guinea-Kuznetsov turnover where he doesn't know what's going on and no one's |
| 0:39.0 | talking to him and it turns around McCann's. You know, he strips him, goes to the net and |
| 0:44.8 | then you got Getzel scoring a goal. It's just one of those things that happen time after time when |

| 1:30.6 | And then... first goal. I mean, that's a one in a million, but that's a hell of a play. You made them |
| 1:27.7 | have to make great plays to beat you. And then, in caps it, 400 posts. Ovi had a couple wide open nets that he didn't hit. I mean, that's not going to happen. So this was fine. It sucks that they lost. It sucks that they lost in Pittsburgh. But that game was everything you would hope that would be tonight. |
| 1:44.5 | You're not, |
