God help my heart, soul.... and liver..... if they go to OT again.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

CBJ will take a 2-0 lead and this time we will make the comeback and win. Because why not.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Hurricanes went down 0-2 at home in 2006 and won the Cup. Caps in 6.

So did TB against the Jagr Caps if I remember correctly...

Yes they did but they didn’t go to the cup. Also pens did it in 2009 against us as well. And us against the Rangers that same year

Caps will win the next 2 to give all fans hope just to lose again in game 7

We all know it’s gonna happen

Grabbing my tiny violin.

It’s a 7 games series....losing 0-2 is hardly catastrophic or insurmountable. Not my first rodeo.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Lets go Caps!

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Waffling between 3-1 or 5-2 good guys.

 

[Blades of Steel]

well, how else were we going to get to a OT game 7 anyway? we all know this was going to 7 games at best anyway, cause caps.

 

[GoCaps2004]

theyre gonna make this entire series as heartbreaking as possible. I imagine we'll lose tonight and then win three straight and then lose in triple overtime in game 7 after ovechkin hits the post 5 times, then holtby will give up a flukey goal to end it

 

[aonb]

will never cheer for a lose, but if they lose, i won't be mad at all tbh

 

[OV Rocks]

Putting Djoos in over Jerabek is another move by Barry Trotz that I can't agree with in the playoffs. I get that he got beat and it led to a goal but the whole punish a player for a mistake in the last game is something that should not carry over in the playoffs.

I know Jerabek is the 6th dman so it really doesn't make that big of a deal but the team has played better with him in the lineup over Djoos.


Here's to proving me wrong

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I can't explain it and I know I shouldn't feel this way, but I think he's right. I'm sure they'll make a fool out of me.

It's not what a leader should say.
A leader should say that his team will lose in 4 and go on fully deserved holidays

Wish my boss would say that

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Been crazy busy and haven't watched the playoff games. Glad I didn't see the OT losses, will be watching tonight can't wait!!!

Actions speak louder than words.

I highly doubt it, but we'll see.

We are guaranteed at least two more games worth of entertainment.

Let's see a Vrana goal assisted by Djoos.

There is no outcome that would be incredibly surprising here -- from winning 4 straight to getting swept.

Big Drama Show! (tm)

Winning 4 straight would be the definition of incredibly surprising... as in unheard of.

 

[twabby]

Have they ever won 4 straight playoff games?

Edit: yes in 2009. Won the last 3 against the Rangers and the first 2 against Pittsburgh.

They've won 4 straight across other series a few other times.

1988 w with 3 vs Philly then the first vs vs NJ.
1991 last 3 vs NYR then first vs Pens.


They've never won 4 straight in a series. They don't need to, yet, but it would be nice. Lose tonight and they will have to come up with a franchise miracle.

 

[OV Rocks]

I want to see someone do exactly what Brian Boyle did last night. Went freakin nuts on Sergachev it was awesome. His team is now down 2-1 and all the momentum from that maniac of a man Brian Boyle (maniac is said with total respect)

 

[StrikingDistance]

Different theme for tonight. Do it for Gunny!

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

That was amazing he was Laughing the entire time too
