GDT: Caps vs Isles 7 pm Apr 10

[Capsman]

Such mixed feelings in this game. On the one hand I enjoy screwing over another Metropolitan team. But then there’s draft position and helping Pittsburgh. I’m so conflicted.

Feel a bit sorry for Darcy at this point. He hasn't been the best, but it woulda been nice for him to get a SO in this one, after how the team has played in front of him most of the past 20-30 games.

 

[HeyMattyB]

If you want to blame anyone, blame the Islanders for not bothering to show up for a must-win game. They look like they're the team trying to tank.

 

[Pancakes]

Pens fan here. Thanks for doing us a favor. We'll probably somehow blow it and lose to Chicago or Columbus, but at least you gave us a chance.

I'll repay the favor and root for you in the lottery now. Maybe some of our tanking luck will pay off for you.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Thanks for f***ing up the Islanders shit tonight, drinks are on us at the Pens board boys.

 

[Marshall]

Tank is a flat circle.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Missed the game but always glad to play potential spoilers against the Isles.

 

[twabby]

Still in good shape for #8. Just need to lose against NJ and BOS, and have Vancouver collect but a single point against LAK, ANA, or ARI.

Goose bumps when Wilson like a mad man negates an icing with the score 4-2 exploding into the boards. He must really want the bruins to play pinata with crosbys head in round 1. Wilson played playoff hockey tonight.

Nows the time to admit your love for Wilson, we know secretly over half of you do anyways. Lol

Red Tank blew a tread.

As a fan from Year 1, it really hard to hate a win. #conflicted

Oddly (or perhaps not) Nick’s game looks better when he’s the only vintage, more deliberative skating Caps forward on the ice. The guy has the smarts to cover up for his compromised mobility - but it’s harder to make happen when he’s one of 3 (or 4 if you count Mantha) top 6 forwards playing like that.

 

[Calicaps]

Can never complain about beating a New York team. After tonight the Canucks have lottery opponent the rest of the way so the tank should be okay.

 

[Cush]

Still in good shape for #8. Just need to lose against NJ and BOS, and have Vancouver collect but a single point against LAK, ANA, or ARI.

Even if both teams lose out & tie, Vancouver would have one more win?

But they have fewer regulation wins, which is the first tiebreaker. Washington needs to finish below Vancouver in standings points because they can’t catch them in the tiebreaker.

 

[Carlzner]

I am going to really enjoy watching the Pens get their shit pumped in the playoffs.

Yeah, we’re all shocked too

watch them grab the last spot because of this game and go on a heater and win the whole thing

 

[um]

watch them grab the last spot because of this game and go on a heater and win the whole thing

[Ovi895]

[um]

I wish I could kick your ass right now

Maybe Hextall keeps his job if they make the playoffs, win a couple vs Bruins

 

[Hivemind]

The fact that Pens fans are coming here to thank the Caps makes me hate this win so much

 

[usiel]

I take the blame for this tank loss wasn't around for this one :/.
