Well the comeback was not completed. The game was high paced through and through and had to go OT to get done. Unfortunately, it was Philly who prevailed in the waning seconds of the only penalty called since the 2nd period.
I am what you would call a casual fan of the NHL and the Capitals. But the number of references to goaltender interference in this series and others seemed mind boggling. As Joe Beninati, the play by play man in the Capitals booth on Comcast Sportsnet Mid-Atlantic, said, it was a gray area when the Flyers second goal was scored. Sami Kapenen took out Cristobal Huet by sending Shaone Morrisonn into Huet, then scoring. Indirect goalie interference.
Watching the loss was OK, as it appears the Capitals gave it their all. But watching Eastern Motors commercials is just torture. Especially on Comcast Sportsnet's blurry so called "HD".
Congratulations to the Capitals on a great season. It looks like the NHL dream of Ovechvin-Crosby playoff matchup will have to wait at least another year.
