There was surely a 2nd deflection causing the puck to rise.. the awesome nbc crew never picked up on it

I love how they acted like grazing the Dman's glove could possibly have made it change that much direction.

 

[OviTaughtMe]

If u want to win the cup u have to win 4 rounds, hence the path to the cup...lol

We're arguing semantics honestly...








but NYR would still hypothetically have to beat WSH/PIT/CBJ to win the Cup in addition to MTL. That's two superior teams whereas we'd have to beat one equal team.

Any way, one team will have to bust their ass to win it and I pray to all deities, it's the Caps lol

Keith Jones dissing the Caps again. Consistancy

Hate to be that guy....but...can it be determined yet when our first P/O game is?

I know based on Verizon Center schedule that it'll either be Tuesday or Friday likely, but just not sure when playoffs officially start. Or if that is even determined yet?

Just when i thought JDub couldnt annoy me more.

He does have a knack for taking away Ovie goals.

 

[Bananas]

And with that the Rangers have the easiest path out of the Metro.

Nope they might have to face us to make the final. Which gets me to thinking ... what would happen if we played ourselves in the ECF?

My guess is there would be a collective bargaining meltdown in the middle of Game 7 overtime and the season would be canceled rendering the outcome moot.

What was his complaint?

 

[ovikovy817]

I thought it was redirected by the Lundqvist's pad.
Now, Williams owe Ovi several goals lol.

Congrats on the Metro clinch

 

[Turd Ferguson]

We Won!!!.1!.1!!

 

[txpd]

What was his complaint?

nothing special. just typical. Jones said, "The Capitals have no holes." Then Milbury said, "But you are still picking the Penguins." Jones said, "Yes"

Milbury said that the Capitals shouldn't be afraid of anyone that they might play in the playoffs. They are that good. Jones then said, "How about themselves. Do you think they should be afraid of themselves?"

He was just playing the Caps are the Caps card with a stubborn look on his face.

 

[RandyHolt]

Poor Ovi - lost a goal. He has only 1 ES goal in 20 games. Yikes. He does seem to be coming to life at least. Raining on our parade.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

We're chokers until we're not. Sad truth in the eyes of the rest of the world.


On the playoff seeding and who gets an easier path.....I don't care. We can beat anyone. I'm Not going to start building up excuses before things even start. Bad system, but Champions overcome adversity. WIN.

 

[txpd]

yes. chokers til they are not. they have not won the cup til bettman hands it to Ov. that said, I like what I am seeing. Workman like dismantling of one team after another.

All of this.

Come on, Boys!!

[Ridley Simon]

The teams that should be *****ing about the seedings are Pitts and C-Bus. They beat the Rags to a better finish, and their reward is each other.

Pitts and CBus should be playing Ott/Tor/Bos top 2. Not each other.

 

[RandyHolt]

The lame duck seedings also do nothing to promote rivalries for future years, as it is pure luck to see the same team the next year. The divisions should battle it out. Old school.

The Rangers have invaded the lame duck East and thus predict it will be easy for them to make it to the conference finals.

Could they screw up something as simple as playoff seedings more than they already do? Why even have divisions, when the root of all good rivalries is based on playoff history, and geographics.

Remember that one year we faced Ottawa in the first round? No.

Hell I was taking the Pens before the Letang injury.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Line em up, we'll knock em all down.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Of course you were....

That was nasty for nastiness' sake. But I liked Milbury's answer (which is not a thing I say often). He said that yeah, if they stumble at all there's a risk they panic based on past experiences and that would get them into trouble, but "they are the team to beat" and so they need to take that attitude, stick to it, and play their game.
