You could see that coming. Orlov was amazing on that shift

Orlov is John Moore on steroids

This series might go on longer than it really should.

I am really quick to not give the Craps any credit, and even I thought they'd blow the Leafs out of the building in one of these first two games.

Leave it to the Capitals to drag a series out. They played one more game than they really should have in the Islanders series 2 years ago. they played about 2 or 3 more games than they should have against the Rangers, and then they wound up losing the series after being up 3 games to 1. They played at least one more against the Flyers than they should have when they were up 3 games to 0 last year and they barely even won game 6.

 

[Bleedred]

Hawks already down 3-0 before the end of 2.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure Nashville did blow a 3-0 lead, if not a 4-0 lead against them in the 2015 playoffs.

The skill level in this Caps Leafs series is exceptionally high. Higher than any other series by a fair margin IMO.

Kuznetsov just has no urgency, intensity, compete level, or otherwise second gear for the playoffs. He perpetually looks like he is playing a regular season game.

This series is really looking closer than it should because Andersen is playing farther over his head than Sal did on 2012.

The Caps have an awful habit of coasting. But when they turn it on, it's fun to watch.

Well can they turn it on now please?

Tired of the Leafs and their fans. Especially the dummies that think Lou is really running the show and wanna rub it in the Devils fans faces. They're like the Clubber Lang of fanbases. It's gonna be really sweet to watch them fall.

The Blackhawks haven't scored a goal in over 5 period's of play this playoffs.

Has James Neal done anything detestable this year? I haven't heard his name much this year

 

[tr83]

I love how Doc wishes former players and coaches a happy birthday. He always mentions a former Devils player.

And some of the obscure names: Jimmy Waite and Sergei Krivokrasov

He's had a very mediocre year

Source: Had him on my fantasy team this year

Out of all the sleazy things he's done, the worst was when he said he had to buy smaller candy bars for trick of treaters because of the lockout.

Between that and guys like Scottie Upshall posting pictures of their Caribbean beach view right after a big meeting went bad, it made it really hard for me to side with the players.

The East is Pittsburgh's to lose this year, barring a MAF disaster situation rearing it's ugly head.

I think they'll take out the Capitals again in the next round. The Capitals are doing themselves no favor with playing all this extra hockey against the Leafs. I expected more from them, but this is the story with them every year. They just can't get it done and it never seems to change.

I feel like they shouldn't be having this hard of a time with Toronto. Toronto could easily be up 2 games to 0 in this series as it is. I know good teams struggle against mediocre playoff teams all the time (see us vs Florida in 2012), but the Caps seems to underwhelm year after year. This is customary for them, not an isolated thing.

 

[R8Devs]

wow connoly could have ended it

 

[TheUnseenHand]

This game is nuts.

Not to mention Toronto has two top defensemen out. I love Trotz's personality but he's a bit overrated as a coach too.

 

[Bleedred]

That was like a wide open net

The Capitals beat themselves more often than not.

He had 0 angle. He had to hope to get a bounce off of something.

Holtby is an idiot. I think he just cost them the game.

 

[NJDevs26]

lol and now a Leafs PP...disaster looming

 

[Bleedred]

Did you just see Holtby chop off Kadri's leg?

Sure looked like it by the way the ****ing guy went down.

Disgraceful from Kadri.

I don't even know if he got a good look at it when he shot it. A couple inches to his right and it's probably in. Maybe even went off the post.

I thought he did a good job with Nashville, but I have no use for any of these Capitals guys at this point. I don't wanna hear about any of them. At least the Reeve kid on the lame MSG hockey show seemed to agree with me. He was giggling at the suggestion from Anson and that former WWE dolt that this might be their year.

They're not even overrated, they're just a bunch of underachievers.

Ovechkin going for his first ever playoff OT winner.

Those last few misses were so Caps-like It's almost like the Capitals are like ''We know we can win, so we're just gonna let them hang on a while longer''.

If he was a lefty he probably would have scored. Being a righty screwed him.

Andersen is just on another level. This has all the makings of a series the goalie steals, then crashes and burns in the next round.

A goalie stealing a series against the Capitals? I've been hearing for the entire decade. Halak still has a reputation just on his 2010 series alone.

 

[Bleedred]

Screw Ovechkin too.

I know he's had an underwhelming year, but I'm tired of defending him in the playoffs too.

Holtby is like the only guy on their team that I can't really fault too much for their playoff underachieving.

Now watch him let in a goal worse than the one Andersen let in last game.

 

[VoidCreature]

I said it last year, I said it this year, these are not the same Hawks.
