What people are saying about Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final
Ed Graney, @edgraney
James Neal, who had an earlier chance turned away, opens scoring at 7:58 of the first with wrister past Holtby.
VGK 1, Capitals 0. #RJnow— Ed Graney (@edgraney) May 31, 2018

Oh boy, Evgeny Kuznetsov gets plastered into the boards on a high hit by Vegas' Brayden McNabb. Washington's top scorer gets up and goes straight to the dressing room.

Steve Carp, @stevecarprj
Eller all alone, no one picks him up and he buries it to tie it 1-1 at 17:27.

Pierre LeBrun, @PierreVLeBrun
Ovechkin on the one-timer, PP goal Caps, costly penalty by Tuch, and it's 2-1 for the visitors. Strong response from the Caps after Vegas took it to them early in this game.

Dan Rosen, @drosennhl
Brooks Orpik. Goal. Not kidding. His first goal since the 2015-16 season. It's 3-1 Caps.

Brooks Orpik's last goal (regular season or playoffs) was on Feb. 26, 2016 - otherwise known as 117 days before Vegas was even awarded an #NHL franchise.

Huuuuuge power play goal by Shea Theodore late in the second period gets the #GoldenKnights within one, making it 3-2. #GoKnightsGo

Reilly Smith (3-16—19 in 17 GP) collected an assist in the second period to move into a tie with Jonathan Marchessault (8-11—19 in 17 GP) for the team lead in playoff scoring. #NHLStats #StanleyCup #WSHvsVGK pic.twitter.com/r6YlRnoaMU

Bad, meet worse. Eller for hooking. VGK will have a five-on-three for 1:09.

David Schoen, @DavidSchoenLVRJ
Capitals kill off the 5-on-3 disadvantage. Big moment in the game/series.
13:00 left 3rd: WSH 3, VGK 2
