GAME ONE RECAP (Capitals 3, Penguins 2)

No significant recap here, as I opted instead to take Leah, Ruby and Virginia to what must have been the greatest high school production of LES MISERABLES ever staged. Varlamov's desperation stick save on Crosby to keep it 2-2 was admittedly otherworldly. I liked the confident quotes coming out of the Penguins' dressing room after the loss; they know what they need to do better. Scoring a power play goal every now and then is at the top of the list.
