Connor McMichael potted two, including an empty-netter to seal the deal and give the Washington Capitals a 2-0 series lead despite the Montreal Canadiens striking first with Christian Dvorak and Sam Montembeault making 29 saves.

Concrats to Washington Putins
It’s a men’s game boys.
I see the ref’ing hasn’t gotten any better…
Monti was unreal tonight but too bad he’s got a garbage team in front of him!
Montreal cant hold any lead..
Habs started playing in the 3rd period, they did a lot this season too. Can’t win playoff games doing that.
Congrats to the winning Capitals. That hit late in the 3rd on Caulfield looked like Smack-down! Play off physicality aye aye aye!!
Coff! Better back check and maybe it's only 1-1, the Habs got robbed on an incredible save. They played hard, but not with their hearts. Chin up boys. Plenty of hockey to play. I really thought they would win. Game 3 needs a swing, and maybe the boys have some punch in them.
How does a cross check to the face not get a call?
Great game and just how can’t there be a replay of 8:12 save!? That was just nuts!!
Go Washington Capitals 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
nhl does it again,. wanting a usa team to win
that means Canadians can now do the same… cross check Capitals because they allowed it now right?
Глупые голы пропустил Монреаль. Кипер капиталистов был хорош
All these Haps fans complaining about cross checking , yet so many dirty plays are done after the whistle. This is the playoffs , of course the refs gunna let things slide. This young Montreal team just not used to it. Many teams who in the playoffs who won the cup , weather in a game one or two bad calls were made. You keep playing!
Every time, every year, every situation when montreal dont win the only thing im reading is refs, refs, refs… like bro… in every series i'm seeing some stupid calls, crosschecks and everything else its not just with montreal… with both games, washington had more penalty so whats the point? Anyway with Laine whos doing nothing now except falling, you're still not going to win the game with 2 or 3+ powerplay if you can't score
Thompson played like he's life depended on it
People are treating the habs as if they has huge expectations for the series, at the start of the season playoffs we’re never in the vision. But now Montreal is in the series and they are the youngest team to ever get in. So I think it’s pretty normal if they are having a harder time against the second team in the league with multiple experience players. And even with that these games are vey close.
So since crosschecking to the face is now legal, I hope caps will bring an extra face in Mtl for games 3 and 4. At this point I don't care if habs lose, all I want is Anderson knocking all of Wilson's teeth out next game and Xhekaj savaging the entire lineup. Pull Laine and put Pezzeta in for good mesure. Elbows up!
Lane Hutson, had 25 minutes and 36 seconds of ice time, had ZERO shots on goal, ZERO hits, ZERO blocked shots, ZERO takeaways and THREE giveaways. He played a bad game, and needs to do better. He made a great deke, but then didn’t get the shot on goal. He had to player better tonight and he didn’t.
Томпсону памятник из бронзы в центре Вашингтона за сегодняшнюю игру!
Caufield got cross-check in the face and no penalty called wow gj paid Washington ref
😆
Habs have a strong future infront of them but this year is not their year.
Это, конечно, возвращение не с 0:2. И не в гостях. Но всё-таки…🤔🙂
Logan was doing something extraordinary today
Not enough talent, caps in five.
Vegas Golden Knights'-made Logan Thompson! ⚔️
It was Monty close. The Caps know what the Rules in the USA are. They are now up 2-0 in games. Remember, close only counts when you play horseshoes. I see Montreal winning the next game if the coach lets the Sheriff play. Let's see how game 3 goes.
Cole needs to wear lifts in his skates so he isn't cross-checked in the mouth anymore.
no surprises there.
Washington has VERY – VERY good goalie )) 😇😇😇
Вратарю ТОМПСОНУ – БРАВО !!!
On to the Bell center. Let's go Caps!
It might be the season caps get out of first round been since 2017-2018 season 😁😚
