#fancystats have the Caps up 4 periods to 2, with two even periods. That's what my lying eyes have more or less seen. The two even periods were both OT periods last night in which the Caps were the better team with more high percentage chances.

In OT Ovi got it past Anderson twice and both times it squeaked through his pads just wide. Then JC74 did the same exact thing. That's just puck luck. Two Leafs goals came when a Caps defender lost a stick.

**All that being said, Leafs are playing great** and Trotz is getting miserably outcoached. Slow defenders like Alzner are killing the Caps against Toronto's speed. But I'm not fatalistic.... yet.

And as a Caps fan, I know fatalistic.
