   DVR’d the game. When it went to shootout I came here for the final score before watching all 12 rounds. I generally don’t care for the SO, win or lose. It’s a lame way for a point to be awarded.

   I DVRed the game since I had a beer league game tonight. Someone at the rink told us what happened, so I rushed home to see the shoot out. And since the game went long the DVR stoped racording with 2 min, left in the 3rd. Just my luck! I’ve been critical of Olie all year, here’s to you. One hell of a game!

   They’ve passed up Florida, too, HockeePhan. And with the B’s and Carolina both losing last night…we’re slowly gaining a bit of ground.

   I recorded the game. Past experience has taught me to set the recorder for an additional 30min past scheduled time allotment of game. I did that and the recording ended when Bradley hit center ice!!!

   Same here. I DVR’d the game, and at the SO – simply fast forwarded, watching those red Xs and green checks pop up at the top of screen, ready to rewind to watch the final shot / save. And then the recording ended, without any green checks! ooooo, what suspense! The story of Bradley jumping on the ice and getin’ er done was great.
   I hate the SO’s as much as the biggest SO hater, but that one last night you might say was as close to a team endeavor as you can get with the gimmick ending.

   I was watching the game DVR-delayed but noticed online it was going to a shootout so quick switched from vid to live so watch the shootout…quite nerve wracking but a fun win.

   1. Do we need to draft Canadian? Sgt. Scott was so much better than Bitsy.
   2. I’m normally not one for shootouts. And there have been a few exciting ones. Last night, in my opinion, while a fine win and snatching triumph from the hands of defeat (since we rarely win shootouts and EDM rarely loses them), it was a pretty dull shootout. Only a few were stellar saves. Only a couple were even good shots.
   3. Holy cow is Fleishmann fast!
   4. Who pissed in Edmonton’s Wheaties? They seemed really ready to have a hostile game against a team in a different conference with hardly any history between them. A feisty night to say the least.
   5. The pucks given out were pretty sweet too.

   So it seems Matt Bradley played his role with confidence in the win:

   Matt Bradley didn’t give Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau a chance to say no.
   As Boudreau was trying to decide who to put on the ice for the 12th round of a shootout when no one had scored, Bradley made the decision for him. “He just said, ‘I’m going to score, put me out there,’ and he jumped over the board and he went in,” Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau said. “He told me, he didn’t ask.”
   Bradley, who had scored two goals all season, was good to his word. He got the puck past Dwayne Roloson after 11 teammates had failed, scoring the only goal of the shootout in Washington’s 5-4 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.
   Bradley admitted he might not have felt as confident as he acted.
   “I told him, ‘I’ll score, let me go,”‘ Bradley said. “I don’t think either of us actually believed what I was saying.”
