Quiet Bob, this thread is about the Pens vs. Caps in the next round. Sid vs. Ovi. Go find the Columbus thread. I think it's in the Other League section of the board.

You realize the Caps are trailing 2-0 against Columbus in this series, don't you?

You dont have to worry about that, Jackets fans on the whole recognize our limitations.
It is interesting though, my prediction in post 3 of the GDT was that Ovechkin would have a big game after a quiet Game 1. 2 goals, 11 shots, and 6 hits later, and I see people blaming OV for the Caps' failures, smh.
Btw, Bobrovsky had a 50 save playoff win, how often does that happen?

Not much. Last time I saw a goalie win with 50+ saves is Roberto Luongo in 2007, when he made 72 saves.
No, they dont have a "good" chance. Could they beat them? Yes. of course, anything can happen. But I'd say its much more likely the Pens win than the Flyers.

Make Chinakov Great Again
Wait. Didnt Quick just have 54 saves against the Knights in the 2OT game? Might have been less than 50 but Im sure I saw more.

I don't know if Washington is the "best opponent" Columbus could have in the playoffs. I know they are a team that can't take anyone lightly and they have to play right up to the end of each period without letting up. They have to give their opponents respect and take nothing for granted. They aren't talented or skilled enough to win on sheer skill like the Pens or Caps.

Wow! That went right over your head didn't it?

In other news since this thread is NOT about Columbus, how do you think Henrik and Daniel will do against Crosby and Geno in the Finals?

It couldn't be, read it. It's about Pens vs. Caps. Sid vs. Ovi. It's about anything but Blue Jackets vs. Caps.
Yeah sure it is. This thread is the Caps, and specifically Ovechkin, choking again. I haven't seen anyone talking about the Pens/Caps upcoming series at all. I can assure you not many, if any, Caps fans think this way.
If people haven't noticed the Bruins/Leafs series regular season records mean nothing, it's all the other stuff that teams do or don't well that predicts the winner. All the underlying numbers favor the Jackets, they should be favored to win, and they are winning.

Seth Jones is such a hater, OMG!!
Oh, the irony....
How bout them Jackets eh?
Panarin > Ovechkin
Most of this shit can be taken to the 'Calling out Ovi' thread...
Columbus hasnt put their best foot forward but they are findind ways to win and show no signs of panic. Gotta remember that was 2 road games for them, to win both isnt going to be pretty.
this is new for Columbus, vs Pittsburgh they had to work so hard for a high danger chance and they next shift down the Pens would make a couple passes and all of a sudden Bob was picking the puck out of his net. Now Columbus is being the oppurtunistic team and making good on their chances so far.
The Panarin trade has been huge, dont even think the team expected quite what hes delivering, its been a treat to watch

I don't think he's wrong.
The Caps have two even strength goals through two games.
At home, where they get the match-ups they want.

I didn't like the quote but I have to remember that these guys are young and had just come off of a huge emotional win. Can you imagine if everything word you said was recorded and analyzed by the media and thousands of people? I know I would be ridiculed by everyone.
Darren Pang talked about the difference of "goalie interference" and "incidental contact" in regards to Atkinson goalie interference call.
Some things have been said about the Dubois interference call, however you cannot crash into the crease/goalie like that, imo, unless you were actually pushed or rubbed out into the goalie.
But the WORST 1 of all that's NOT being talked about, was the goalie interference call on Foligno late in the 2nd period. To be clear, I'm talking about game 2, NOT the terrible call on Foligno in game 1.
Somebody get THAT on video...

Sorry that I'm favoring the Capitals more than Blue Jackets. Columbus is a fine team; I just want Ovechkin to win the Cup for once.

Good for him, league needs more personalities who are confident in calling it like they see it..
Kid has moxie and is confident in his team to finish this out.
