Doohickie

Hinostroza making a strong bid to not get sent down again. I think when the time comes it might be JJP.

I did. Ask @Doohickie. And NO, I am not helping build his kitchen (unless there is $ in it for me!) 🤣 Who are we talking about again?

Quinn scores in the third, he has a Gordie Howe Hat Trick. That, to me, is the focus of the game.

I dunno, at my age it's better than the happy birthday song: .....58, 59, 60. WE WANT 61!

Which is why PA doesn't like it.

The end of the period was disastrous. That said, with the Caps on the second game in a back-to-back, they've shot their wad. Their legs will be dead in the third.

Oh, we could have used that goal.

WTF MITTS?????????

Now Quinn needs the goal for the Gordie Howe Hat Trick.

Total defensive breakdown there. A full shift of it.

Quinn hasn't scored but he's one of the three stars in my mind. He's been driving play.

Their second shot of the period with less than 5 minutes to go.

Shots this period: 13 for Buffalo, 1 for Wash.

That was an elite play by Okie to fish the puck out, retain possession and slide it over to Girgs for the tap-in.

Great setup by Quinn. He's no Tuch but he belongs.

OH ***** ME

I know a chain of events leads to every goal, but I've seen this so many times: Olofsson "covering the point" but by just doing a drive by and letting the point man do whatever the hell he wants. He did it there and the Caps scored. If he actually challenged the Dman that play never happens.

Oh hell, I thought this was 1 PM CT, not ET.... Better late than never:
