It's saying Vegas is the team he created out of nothing, not Washington.

Wow, just saw Stamkos and Cooper’s postgames. They thought they played well. Did I watch the right game?

I know they pushed, but they were almost never dangerous, but for maybe 6 or 7 minutes in the second.

I think they were dangerous for most of the first period and a good chunk of the second. Basically from the end of the Caps early 1st period powerplay until Burakovsky stole the show it was all Tampa Bay. It wasn't really until Burt took the wind out of Tampa's sails with the second breakaway that the Caps had the decisive edge in play. Tampa was compeltely ineffective in the third period, but that wasn't the story of the first two periods.

They may need to pound ole Schmiddy. Will they set aside their friendship and do that? I am not so sure. We do not want him moving forward and we know one way to do that. Hit him like we hit the Floridian Villagers. I am convinced we don't want to get into a footrace with Vegas.

It feels great walking in to work today and people congratulating me like I did something, just from knowing how much I care.

Oh man I would love to experience that. When I went to game 1 and 2 vs philly it was my first time seeing more than 2 people wearing Caps gear. Blew my mind.

Well shit. US only. Anyone know a good 3rd party to ship things to? I used one years ago but they were a bit dodge.

Maybe. They had the better of the territorial play for sure and more shots, but I can count on one hand the moments when I really thought they might score, and I think most of them were in the second.

Is it possible to ask your embassy? Or Nate Walker?

All good. Prob a silly thing to do anyway.

Holy Schnikey, a GAZ sighting? How's things, you pasty white Caps fan you?

 

[tycoonheart]

Where is @BobRouse?

 

[Sam Spade]

His best accomplishment was winning the lottery and not passing on Ovy.

Or, and I'm just playing Devils advocate here, he screwed up by not picking Malkin so the Caps are the ones with the Cups and not the Pens.

 

[Calicaps]

Where is @BobRouse?

Yeah! Also, I saw @NobodyBeatsTheWiz on the mains, but he hasn’t stopped by here that I’ve seen.

But you will need the Cup Winners! edition. I'd be happy to assist if that occurs.

what a gem you are. Thanks!

Which, of course, is also bullshit.

Reading Pens board about Caps/Bolts series is magic. Caps gave them hope that they'll choke again, but won G6 and G7

 

[HandsomeTom43]

After the Caps win, I'm going to buy a newpaper poster with all the headlines of Ovi skating around the cup.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

I’m still pretty confused by people who don’t love Wilson dropping the gloves. The leading scorer in the entire playoffs got his sweater ripped off and thrown on the ice in a Game 7. Yeah, when you do that it’s time to eat a knuckle sandwich. To me it says a lot about the togetherness of this team. Also, let that be a message to VGK if they plan on taking liberties. The Caps are all-in and that’s why they’re here.

The Wilson fight was much more than a fight with Coburn. Coburn's actions were symbolic of the treatment that the Capitals have been receiving from the NHL during the playoffs to include the DOPS, the Referees, inconsistency in calls and discipline being meted out, the disrespect shown to them by PenBC and their employees (Pierre, Doc, Milbury, Roenick . . .) all of the so-called hockey experts that write about the game or talk about it on the XM-Sirius Radio channel who have picked against the Capitals in each series. Wilson's response was our response as Caps fans, that this team is here and they'll get respect whether you give it to them or they'll make you give it to them.

Wilson's fight was the visual F this league!

I got a lot of that too....my office is in PA (outside Philly), so mine was over concalls and email. And most of my friends out here know my feelings on the team, so got a slew of texts on Wednesday night.

I also have a boatload on jerseys that I wear as sweaters/sweatshirts, so a lot of people know me around the area for that....so have gotten some random “congrats”, our and about as well.

Fun times!!

I think it's Beagle's goal, the 4th one. But who cares?

Yep it is

Whoever makes these videos deserves a raise

Hell yeah!! I have watched the "Suit and Jacket" one that is a thank you to the fans before every game to get me pumped up. It is fantastic!!

I even bought the song on itunes so it was effective marketing.

 

[roadkill]

Flyers fan here, I'm so happy for you guys! I hate all the Tampa Bay teams, and I also hated seeing the Penguins win it all after beating yous. I am actually a big fan of Ovechkin (except for when he plays us). Hope you beat the LVGK and win the Cup for Ovechkin!
