Post-Game Talk: 2017-18 Around the League Thread | Luca Sbisa, Stanley Cup Goat

[Jack Burton]

The home team lost again.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I’m still betting on Vegas
I mean they are the favourite now
They’ve lost 3 games total
They beat Winnipeg in 5 FFS

 

[Doyle Hargraves]

I though that Jack Burton guy was going to Vegas. Post after post, get out and enjoy Sin City

Enjoy your vaycay man.

I like the idea of Ovechkin + Backstrom winning the Cup and telling their old boss to shove it

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

A team that hasn’t finish any series in an easy way
VS
A team that literally steam roll every other teams on their way

Amazing

 

[Fire Benning]

Up 3-2 get shutout twice in games 6 and 7.

What a phenomenal choke job by Tampa.

 

[Zombotron]

Touch the Wales Trophy!

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Touch that trophy Ovi
You are Ovechkin

 

[Melvin]

Commence the all-George McPhee Cup Finals.

I never thought about this.

Jesus Christ.

 

[Zombotron]

Knights (#5) get home ice over Caps (#6)

 

[vancityluongo]

Happy for Ovi!!

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

f*** yeah Ovi
Hoist that trophy!!!

Vegas in 4

I can't wait until every idiot out there makes a big deal about Ovechkin touching it if Washington loses.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Well deserved Ovechkin. Go get that cup. One of the best players of this generation could use one under his name.

Kucherov has been a massive disappointment.

 

[Ace of Hades]

I can't wait until every idiot out there makes a big deal about Ovechkin touching it if Washington loses.

Or calls him a choker if he doesn't win the holy grail.

Let's just have a glance at what championships D.C.-area sports teams have won...

3x Redskins (1983, 1988, 1992)
1x Bullets / Wizards (1978)
4x D.C. United if you want to count MLS, too (1996, 1997, 1999, 2004)
0x Nationals (est. 2005, 0 WS appearances)
0x Capitals (est. 1974, 1 Finals loss 1998)

I have the Capitals in the bottom-tier of NHL franchises - even worse off than us, in that they have 3 Presidents Trophy wins (QF loss, SF loss, SF loss) to 1 Cup Finals appearance which ended in a sweep. That could all change if they do the unthinkable and win it here

Russia vs USA!

Err...Canada.









Vegas in 4

happy for Ovechkin

 

[EpochLink]

Trotz, Ovechkin, Backstrom all exercised playoff demons from playoff past this year.

Vegas in 5, Capitals in 6 if it goes that way.

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

Tampa was my pick from the start of the playoffs. Too bad they couldn't get a PP when they needed one. I'm happy with a Vegas/Washington final, at least no cup drought longer than ours will end.

 

[crazychimp]

Based on watching both teams I gotta go with Vegas my heart says the Caps cause of Ovi, but the way Vegas has played it's going to be them.

Touch the Zombo!

You'd think they would be team with more gas left in the tank.
