Win or go home. That's what we got tonight. Too bad this is not for the cup. Did anyone not think this would go 7 games? Caps are a short -130 favorite. i saw on this morning's paper that home teams win game 7's 63%. Caps history in game 7's is not good. Fortunately, most of that futility cannot be attributed to these players.

Caps continue getting outshot by the pens and continue being shorthanded thanks to some real shady and inconsistent penalty calling. Did you see the hooking in OT??? Yes, there was a hook on Backstrom but it was a glancing attempt at best and it did not prevent the player from completing his pass. Note to ref's: If it's OT or late third period, you need to swallow your whistle!

Anyway, hope the refs don't make it all about themselves and let them play tonight.

As for tonight's play, I like the home side and the OVER again. shocker.
