I have time for just a couple of quick thoughts tonight inbetween Caps Post Game Live, Sportsnight and a long drive to Charlottesville. Marc Andre-Fleury and Simeon Varlamov were both suspect in game four but tonight I felt like both of them played like champs. Each of them would prefer to play with a bit more rebound control but they both made some super stops. The Penguins have won two games in OT, both by virtue of some really tough breaks. The game three winner glanced in off of Shaone Morrisonn and tonight's game deciding goal was accidentally directed into the net off Tom Poti.

Alex Ovechkin and Nick Backstrom delivered another sharp performance, Backstrom skated with more speed than I can recall, and as usual he made some very pretty passes. Ovechkin has been a remarkable shooter at critical times in this series, his first wrist-shot goal tonight was as nasty as they come.

Pittsburgh put on quite a rally in the third period and Evgeni Malkin made a splendid pass to Ruslan Fedotenko to tie it. Then Matt Cooke, who is always known to be hungry for rebounds, cashed in on a third try to give Pittsburgh the lead. But Ovechkin and the Caps would not be denied, forcing overtime late in regulation once again showing how resilient this Caps bunch can be. I refuse to believe the Caps will take a defeated attitude to Pittsburgh for game six and I know Caps' fans will support them all the way. Remember last year they had to win a game six in Philly, and knowing that, they put together their best performance of the series to force a game seven. They'll need to repeat that inside the Igloo on Monday.
