So brave. Thank you

No, not “brave”, just the truth.

Such a joke of a franchise.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Beat the caps in all of our 5 cup wins. Why change it now?

 

[Al Smith]

so...they traded for Panarin and some okay spare parts.

Maybe after seeing Panarin's performance this year, CBJ will realize there's no place for a forward with his skill and finesse on their team and trade him to the Pens for Sestito, McGrath, and Biggs.

That's the only positive I see.

I am sick of playing them.

On the other hand, Sully won’t like his play away from the puck and will send him down to the AHL....

 

[Tom Hanks]

So CBJ traded for Panarin, got Cole, Vanek, Letestu at the deadline and they still can’t get out of the first round...lol

They should have traded for better offense since they would have had to score 5 a game to win the series.

 

[Bingo71]

Less pressure on the Caps this year. Look for them to be looser and more relaxed.

If the Pens get into penalty trouble and Holtby is on, they’re in trouble.

they are also a worse hockey team than last year. So let's see which turns out to be more important I guess.

 

[MrBrightside]

Sergei Bobrovsky playoff stats: 5-14, 3.44 GAA, .893 sv%

Seems bad.

 

[Andy99]

Well Keith Jones thinks this is the Caps year against the Pens...so that means we win again I guess...

You're really invested in how hopeless this is for the Pens.

 

[LOGiK]

Can't wait to see Torty boys presser.

It is Fleury in 2012 bad.

Such a joke of a franchise.

17 seasons, 4 playoff trips, 4 first round exits. They keep trying to play with the big boys but can't hang.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Panarin and some finishing pieces... very bad Shero of them, tbh.

I'd melt if we got Panarin.

 

[Ogrezilla]

yeah, those are good trades for a team filling in a few final cracks. Not a team that is missing half of a legit top 6.

 

[LOGiK]

It's not like they were outplayed and out classed. They took it the Capitals every game -minus game 6, tonight was just terrible- and should have won game 3, but they got snagged on the inevitable and forthcoming choke job.

Joke through and through. Starting with their blowhard of a coach.

The main boards will come up with some excuse for him though

should have won game 3, but they also should have lost games 1 and 2.

You love making knee-jerk reactions, don’t you?

First off, it’s not a reaction, it’s an opinion.

And what is “knee jerk” about it?

I do expect the Capitals to be looser. Looser. Loser. Lose.
