[SensFactor]

Sens are 1 - 3 against Pens in the playoffs...i wanted the caps over the pens primarily because Fleury and that kid Gunzetl on the pens are lights are right now...

I don't know... Lundqvist played well against the Canadiens but we lit him up.

This isn't Fleury vs. Leclaire or Elliott. We have an actual goalie even if he hasn't been consistently great yet in these playoffs.

 

[Engineer]

According to main board, Sens have already lost this series once again, bring it on.

I haven't watch the Sens a whole lot this season. Do you guys think they could beat Pittsburgh?

 

[Novak Djokovic]

I have full confidence we can beat the Pens.

I am less confident we can beat the Pens and the refs.

There will be a lot of confirmation bias during the series, eh? There was no indication of any ref bias in the Pens-Caps series. Nothing like complaining about officiating before the game has even begun. I'll see you guys after the series.

 

[chipsens]

Niskanen plays for the Capitals

....right, Crysby headshot. Niskanen will always be a Pen in my world.

Bonino.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Bonino.

That's not bias. That's incompetence. I love how everyone points to that play, but no one points to 4 minute minor missed on Washington minutes before for high sticking Guentzel. Like, I said... confirmation bias.

 

[chipsens]

Will Harpur play? In game 1?! (IMO Claesson & Wideman should play)

 

[Knave]

I haven't watch the Sens a whole lot this season. Do you guys think they could beat Pittsburgh?

I think we can. Our defense can match up well enough against Crosby/Malkin and as long as the forwards show up we should be OK.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

This is going to be all-out war. If we lose, I want to go down fighting.

A majority of people thought we would lose to Boston, and nobody thought we would be the Rangers, but we did. So absolutely we can. It will be the toughest challenge yet, but I believe that if we can beat Pittsburgh we can win the Cup.

Game misconduct on Niskanen.

No call on blatant interference on Malkin before game-tying goal in Game 3.

I mean, I don't think it's impossible, but I'd consider Boston and NYR as the same tier as us. Pittsburgh is another story...

I ****ing hate Pittsburgh. ***** ass team led by a whiny dirty ***** ass captain. I ****ing hate their bandwagonner fans too. God. Pound the living **** out of these scum bags, Sens. Let's make Sydney " routine-play-with-an-unfortunate-result" Crosby pay for what he did to Meth and let's go to the finals.

I like your classless comments Classless Goon. I was looking forward to this match up, because to be the man you gotta beat the man. ..woooooooo!

If the Sens want the cup, they have to slay the triple headed dragon, the defending Stanley Cup Champion. Containing the forwards would be tough, but I feel they can meet their offence and edge them on defence.

Karlsson is the best player in the game, hope he is healthy enough to demonstrate who owns this show.

So game 1 is Saturday...where is the rest of the schedule?

 

[QuattroFTW]

I mean, I don't think it's impossible, but I'd consider Boston and NYR as the same tier as us. Pittsburgh is another story...

Then lets do what Toronto did vs Washington. Go in firing at 110% and playing for pride. Pittsburgh will expect us to play tight 1-3-1 hockey but if we go out playing loose we can probably catch them off guard.

 

[SlapJack]

10 years ago, I had a son who was just shy of 2 years old. That year, Ottawa beat the Penguins and went to the cup final. This year, I have a 2nd son who is just shy of 2 years old and Ottawa has gone to the ECF again, now playing the Penguins. So obviously, we're going to the Cup finals.

They better ****ing win it too...I'm not having any more kids.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Game misconduct on Niskanen.

It's funny because if you read the Caps forum, not a single person is complaining about officiating. Caps had more PPs than Pens in the series. I'm not going to go over every single missed calls, there were plenty on both.

But if the refs and Pens vs. us attitude makes you feel better, all the power to you.

 

[Agent Zub]

Ceci and Phaneuf are going to get slaughtered.

 

[playasRus]

Man, Pittsburgh even with no Crosby one game, post-concussed Crosby 2 games, and no Letang still pushed past the Caps

 

[LatteLarrys]

We've beaten Glass Joe and Von Kaiser, but we're going straight to the dream fight with Tyson. Whatever, let's see how many games we can take these guys!
