What a terrible image.
It is a 7pm or 7.30pm start ?
7pm plus however much it’s late.

What does that even mean?
If you flip a coin, and it lands on heads the first two times, it isn't any less likely to land on heads the third time. If anything, maybe the coin has a ridge that causes it to be bias toward heads.
The first two series have no impact on the Capitals winning other than maybe they are tired of losing to us. Also, maybe, they'll be clutching their sticks too tight because they haven't won yet.
By all accounts, the Caps have failed to live up to their talent in the playoffs and against the Pens. This year they're in under the radar; almost no real expectations.
Things seem aligned for them here. With Malkin and Hagelin out, I believe it even more so.
Pens aren't escaping this one. Sorry.
when fluke (thats what they call jake on the main board) gets hot, the goals just keep coming......and he's hot.
On the other hand, there's one McDavid fan who's claiming Guentzel is better than Crosby. It takes all kinds, I guess.
I just can't see it that way. Forget the fans, the media, the rest of the hockey world ... the Caps, I'm quite sure have very real expectations, and a less than stellar history weighing on them heavily. They want to beat the Pens so bad they can taste it.
Agree that the path for the Pens could be better lit.
No need to apologize. It won't be your fault if the Pens fall.
I'd love to be wrong about it obviously, I just don't see it unless the Caps inexplicably completely crumble.

If it happens, it happens.
If it doesn't, it doesn't.
I know that's just a juvenile tautology, but seriously, why get caught up in 'I-Told-You-So's and what you can hold over some other poster's head and browbeat them with when it's all over?
None of it does anything to help or change what this team's ultimate fate is going to be.
Yeah I understand that. I think the lack of expectations is a big difference between this year and past years.
can someone post the kuznetsov bird drawing
So the Caps and their fans were surprised last year when they went down two games to none and eventually lost in the second round to the Pens right?
According to that logic they were shocked the year before as well, because their expectations were not to blow it yet again.
Seriously @Randy Butternubs deserved some kind of award for this

Many fans (of all teams in every sport) root for being right more than they do for their team's success.
With Geno and Hags out I like the looks of each of our top 3 lines but uh...that 4th line is quite the turd sandwich.
