what do you think of the rangers' response in overtime? >> i thought it was terrific. i thought they did a great job of regrouping mentally and coming back at it. they had a ton of chances. and the overtime session, right here, i mean, among many. and lundqvist is good when it had to be turris, charging the net. j.r., what did you think? >> we saw turris coming around. and denying j.t. miller in front of the net. can't get off the schneid right there. right in front, kevin hayes. and anderson, stepped up to the net again. >> a lot of good chances. the redirection in front, just wide past lundqvist. and you're going to see some great saved by anderson. this is not your normal overtime period. there were just way too many scoring opportunities on both sides of the aisle. >> the overtime period, you think it's all defense. this is the last opportunity of the overtime. but i will say it. an entertaining overtime period. an entertaining ga

you like high scoring. >> consistent with the play today. a lot of mistakes. but a lot of fun. >> j.r.'s right. you would think it tightened up. five goals for both sides. you would think that discipline would tighten up. >> and mistakes by the referees. >> should the senators have had a power play? >> no question. when it's a penalty you have to make a call. there's no more blatant penalty than high stick. that's a high stick by brassard on zibanejad right there. up in the face. he called the power play. this is a high stick. rick nash, right in the mouth, trying to stick handle. you have to be in control of your stick. the stick goes right into the mouth. 18,000 people saw it. but two referees didn't see it. you can't blow calls like this, in overtime. the rangers got lucky here. >> it's clearly a move designed to stick handle through the legislation legs of his opponent. >> guy boucher agrees with you. >> he's stunned. and by the rule, if it's

followthrough on a shot or a pass, it's okay to hit somebody in the head. but not when you stick handle like that. >> rangers/senators, our first of two games tonight. and it's headed to overtime number two. we will preview game two of the pens/caps series. alex ovechkin scored in the opener. but washington fell on home ice.

income nbc, brought to you by subway restaurants. >> a look at sidney crosby gearing up for game time. pittsburgh took game one. it is game two from washington, d.c. our coverage at 8:00 p.m. eastern on nbc. sidney crosby had the two goals in the opener. outside of the scoring, what stood out about his game to you? >> he does everything well in the national hockey league and in this game. he has grown so much as a hockey player. i think he's the best player in the world for a lot of different reasons. again, reasons like this. this is sidney crosby backchecking. and the guys on the bench see this effort. this effort to get back to break up the opportunity to score a goal. that's great hustle. wins face-offs, no matter where it is on the ice. really important. but it's his knack for the game and his hockey i.q. makes him so good. his shot, two goals against washington. two, quick strikes. just look at the awareness. how aware he is. comes to support. bang. right on the offense. back. i mean, he's

the last year and a half. and the playoffs are where he shines. there's a reason why he has two cups and a conn smythe trophy. he relishes this time of year. >> he might be the best player of a generation. alex ovechkin might be the best player who hasn't reached the conference finals. how do you think he responded in the open center. >> i think he's been good all along. he's been composed. he acted with maturity. and he scored a big goal. we showed the hit he could have had on crosby. let it go. would have been easy to run crosby and hurt him. but he stuck around, no penalties. great play by here. and of course, when you give ovechkin this much time and space, he has such a hard shot. such an accurate shot. you know he's going to do some damage. put the capitals in the thick of things. tied it up. and mistakes defensively by the caps turned a corner for the penguins. big game for them coming up. >>

series, it wasn't cross zee. what was his impact be if he's back in the lineup? >> a positive impact. audio guy with speed. a guy that can score. he can play every different role. he was a very visible player in last year's postseason. this is a shot in the arm for the penguins. if you remember, hagelin, kessel and bonino, one of the big reasons they won the cup last year. killing penalties is where it will really come in with that speed. will be a huge addition. >> let's bring it back to rangers and senators. getting set for double-o.t. the senators don't get the call late. the rangers had some energy in that first o.t. how do they come out? >> they have to come out flying. they need this

thein tre. hoffman has been quiet tonight. and going to see how erik karlsson handles his leg. this is a long game to be on a bad foot. >> i think both teams have to continue to go after it. but there was a lot of sloppy play there. poor decisionmaking. it's one thing to be forceful and aggressive in a game, trying to take it over in overtime. but another thing to be reckless. i thought we saw reckless decisions. i would be surprise, ottawa dre guy boucher said, tighten it up a little bit. as long as we play hockey, we have to play defense, too. >> we've had 79 total shots. 79 total hits. ten penalties. ten total goals. the next goal, though, is the winner. double-o.t. from ottawa. the rangers and the senators gets started after this. >> you've been watching "the subway overtime intermission
