OT: Around the NHL - Stanley Cup Playoffs First Round

[LOGiK]

Yeah? Then not having a cup winning caliber team won’t help them get over that, it’s just less of a failure. Getting swept would be their great shame this year.

Depending how the game goes tonight we may get to see that 'being swept is a real possibility' look on their faces.

Torts mad.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Torts mad.

He sent 6 guys and all were involved in the play not even close to their bench.

 

[Andy99]

Holtby...big save!

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Agreed they aren’t a Cup contender. Last year may have been the Caps’ last chance at a Cup for a long time. Their defense is going to be even more lost without Carlson next year.

It was most likely their last serious shot with that core. They really failed to capitalize on their opportunity. The 2016 Pens were great but the Caps lost the game Letang was suspended for. The 2017 Caps added Shattenkirk, took out Crosby and faced a team without Letang. They won the game they took out Crosby in but it went to OT and then they lost the game he missed. They got shutout in game 7 while not recording a shot in the 3rd for some stupid amount of time. They might be the only team you can truly point to it being mental,

Depending how the game goes tonight we may get to see that 'being swept is a real possibility' look on their faces.

So blank and dead inside. I don’t think they’ll get swept because they need to give their fans some false hope before crushing it.

Haha, yeah. Losing two games at home in OT while blowing two goal leads hurts.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Good, they'll continue feeding him a ton of minutes.

 

[ncm7772]

Nice pass by Ovechkin.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Everytime piece of shit Wilson scores, I die a little inside. That guy should play in the California Penal League at best.

 

[Nakawick]

you guys are too hard on Tommy Wilson. He is a nice guy, tries hard.

 

[LOGiK]

Panarin is my man crush. I really like the guy on an impersonal level.

 

[madinsomniac]

Im not sure a lead is safe with this team... they just take their foot off the gas too often

"The Bread Man" sounds like a horror film character.

 

[Andy99]

Nice goal....

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Everytime piece of **** Wilson scores, I die a little inside. That guy should play in the California Penal League at best.

I heard he idolizes Billy Tibbetts.

 

[66-30-33]

2-0...time for Caps to lose in OT now.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

2-0 for the Caps. Jackets have them right where they want them

 

[LOGiK]

Uh oh, Capitals have the lead prepare for self destruction.

[ncm7772]

Trash job by CBJ clearing the net front.

 

[Nakawick]

nice celebration by old spaghetti legs Connolly.

 

[ncm7772]

Huge parallels with the Penguins during the DB era.

 

[Andy99]

What’s Torts challenging here?

Edit..off side..ridiculous

 

[Ogrezilla]

he crosses the line before he touches the puck there I think

 

[Bingo71]

Connolly looks bummed. He might know...
