rooting for more OT in WSH/CBJ series

I have to root for the Caps...I’m cheering more for a long series than for any particular opponent...

Honestly, I either want 7 games, or a sweep Either they play as much as possible, or the Caps get embarrassed. Win-Win Ideally, the Caps go down 3, storm back, then lose game 7.

may the road team win every game in the caps/jackets series. Make it as hard on both teams and fan bases as possible.

oh that might be better.

 

[Nakawick]

anybody want to make a bold prediction of Holtby lasting less then 10 shots?

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

If Bob is the difference in the series, and then starts getting pulled again against the Pens, how do you not blow things up in Washington?

 

[Ogrezilla]

man that face paint behind Tort is top notch

Not me, but I think he’ll have a mediocre eniugh game to stay the starter but reassure no one.

Every team is so close to the holy grail and we are still so far from June. The work needed done is insane to win the Cup.

Wilson will just never learn. He's such an idiotic hockey player.

You were saying?

 

[Penguin Suited Up]

Wilson just can’t help himself.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Figured it'd be CLB weathering the WSH storm. But then again, it's the Caps.

 

[ColePens]

Oh Wilson Trotz you keep putting him on your top line. That's on you. You give him minutes. That's on you. Sitting Vrana? On you.

I'm rooting for CBJ.

I want this to get so bad that Grape Ape has to seriously think about reading Sweaty Teddy the riot act.

Jackets are taking a page out of the Pens' playbook. Stingy through the neutral zone.

I read somewhere that over the course of a season, an NHL coach on average can win/lose about 4 games by the decisions he makes from the bench. I really think Trotz lost the Caps 2 playoff games by not starting Holtby from the beginning of this series. It doesn’t matter that Holtby struggled a bit toward the end of the season. Holtby’s your guy, and outside of a couple series against a Penguins team that has made many goalies look average, he’s been very good for the Caps in the playoffs.

Someone else said somewhere that if WSH loses the series we essentially beat them by proxy because of this

he's also playing Tom Wilson just about 19 minutes a game

That’s hilarious.
