«Capital” book a ticket to the cup
«Washington» became the first team in the league who have already booked a ticket to the Stanley Cup draw. Home victory over the “Caroline” was very difficult: it came to overtime, which is already guaranteed “capital” officially getting into the playoffs. Spoil your holiday unnecessary defeat players “Capitals” did not, and in the second minute of extra time Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alexander Ovechkin have built a “delicious” goal, dismantling the defense of the “Hurricanes” for spare parts . Statistics “Washington” after winning looks very nice: 69 matches, 50 wins, 105 points, and the current hit in the playoffs for the team was the eighth in the last nine years.
«It is surprising that so many more games left. But this is the result of what mood we played. We are proud of what we have achieved, but we will not stop “, – said the author of the first” capital “washers Justin Williams . Surprise forward quite clear: Williams previously played for a long time, “Los Angeles”, which, as a rule, made his way into the cup eight at the last moment. Now, “Washington” will have a month to invent the motivation to go to the cup match in the proper tone.
«it is good for us. Now we have to focus on our game, on how we should act. Of course, it is necessary to do without injury, and then we will prepare for the playoffs, “- said Ovechkin, whose goal was scored 42nd of the season and seventh victory. By the way, the puck Alexander was counted only after the trainer’s “Challenge” from mentor “Hurricane” Bill Peters, who insisted on the offside Yevgeny Kuznetsov. “League is something to ponder,” – angrily said Peters, after a goal has been recognized as correct. One Scoring was for “Carolina” is not such a bad option, especially since the main production – “Detroit.” – Failed
Efforts Datsyuk did not save “Detroit»
“Philadelphia” took home “Detroit”, and this game was a real battle for the playoffs for both teams: the team side by side in the standings, and that between them held a treasured trait that separates the lucky and unlucky. The mood at the “Pilot” was more determined, and the outcome of the meeting was predetermined in the first period, when the hosts secured an advantage of two goals. Accurate throws Michael Ruffle and Wayne Simmonds gave a “Philly” the opportunity to play the game at the right pace, and “Detroit” was simply not ready for the hurricane tempo, which offered a rival: 25 the first shots taken in the match, 22 were carried out hockey players, “Flyers”.
One of the few people at the “Detroit”, who fought until the very end, was Pavel Datsyuk , thanks to the efforts which the guests kept the intrigue. At the end of the second period, the Russians scored his 14th goal of the season and at the end of the third assisted dvadtsatiminutki Tomáš Tatar , but all to no avail “red wings” desired result. The abundance of deletions and poor play in the attack were not allowed to “Detroit” to score points, and the regular season is ending for Datsyuk and the company is very difficult.
“Detroit” still remains on the last line of the cup, but inferior to “Philadelphia” lost three points, and when the “pilots” will play the deferred meeting, the “red wings” may well be for the coveted feature. In the last 14 years, “Detroit” matches only scored 5 wins, scoring at 1.79 goals per game, skipping on a 3.07 goals, and having the efficiency of most, equal to 8.9%. With such indicators wards Blashilla Jeff will be very difficult to get into the playoffs.

The goalkeeper Southerners . Andrei Vasilevski played his 20th game of the season, reflecting the 20 shots, and did not deserve words of criticism – two goals of the four “Toronto” scored into an empty net. “It was a very bad game for us. The opponent came out on the ice to win, and we went out, considering that already won. Therefore, the “Toronto” won by the right, all true “, – said mentor detuned” Lightning » John Cooper
Kopitar in the company of the great
