    The two key moments in last night's game where the momentum could have shifted were both Ovechkin plays:

    -Ovechkin on a breakaway at the start of the game and Fleury stones him; that goal goes in and it could have changed the entire composition of last night's game.

    -Pens are on a powerplay, up 4-0; Ovechkin scoops the puck, skates into his defensive zone killing time, then moves into the Caps offensive zone trying to make a play, but gets double-teamed and turns the puck over; Crosby recovers and scores. At that point the Caps were dead in the water.

    • That last one is heartbreaking for teams.juhls
    • You could almost hear a pin drop when Ovechkin had that breakaway, the cheers for the save were louder than Crobsy's first goal.

    • At the bar I was at of course, haha.

    • I wonder if Fleury will be part of the Olympic team. There may be older and more consistent goalies though.juhls
    • I think Ovechkin still has more points than Crosby, but obviously that will change after this next series.juhls
    • Fleury is a bit less on than he was in the playoffs last year. Still rock solid, but not the top goalie currently playing.blaw
    • Yea, Fleury was almost unconscious until the Finals last year, not so thus far.

    • But still very good. Ovechkin also had a Game 7 last series, so he has played one more game than Sid.
