Some real hot takes in this thread right now.

Dude. Peeps are emotional. Step off the soap box.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Should’ve won. Those two goals let in by Holtby were awful

Yep, this game is on him. Don't care how well he played in OT, he let us get there.

 

[illpucks]

Caps, why do you do this every single year??? This is same as Rangers OT game 7

 

[Kairi Zaide]

**** off nhl

why?

 

[tenken00]

We need to get faster on D for next year. I'm open to moving Niskanen and with Orpik most likely not coming back. Time to put that D pipeline to use

 

[Portable Mink]

Maybe prioritize getting fit for next year. Pathetic end. Pathetic. Cyas

 

[Red Dread]

They didn't play at all since the 1st period. They didn't play apart from G5.

 

[AussieCapsFan]

I'm not even mad. Just confirms the West wins this year.

No way. Columbus is winning it all, baby!

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Just didn't quite have it this year. It stings for sure. Another 2-0 series lead blown and another game 7 at home lost. Last year we got the bounces this year we didn't.

 

[Fallschirmyager]

We have our normal CAPS back now I guess.

 

[Firsov99]

By the way, ALL wildcard teams have won their matchups. We are a part of the history

 

[tycoonheart]

Good job getting rid of Trotz. Rierden is utter garbage.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

On the bright side, Hagelin has become one of my favourite players.
And Jensen and Seigenthaler have been really good as well.

Yep. Might have been different series with Oshie and Kempny. Give it to Carolina for fighting though. I can't root for any East team.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Can't blow two 2-goal leads at home in G7. Holts was great in OT but he was awful on two of the goals in regulation and it should have never gotten to this point.

It's been a hell of a 365+ last days to be a Caps fan and tonight doesn't change that. Congrats to the Canes on a well deserved victory.

 

[Capitals40]

I'm rooting for Barry to win the Cup now.

 

[Sam Spade]

Come on people, it's not that bad really.

I am excited for next season.

 

[OviTaughtMe]

This is where it ends. Shit.

Still love this team.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

No way. Columbus is winning it all, baby!

I would be ok with that although the Blues and Sharks been waiting longer. Colorado looks legit right now.

 

[DrewGl]

Stings. No longer defending Champs.

If a huge meteor hits the planet and we all die we are.

 

[Ovechkin]

Maybe try getting a real coach this time. Giving a Cup winning team some vanilla rookie coach was beyond reckless.

 

[Red Dread]

At least the Penguins aren't winning.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Offseason needs to focus a lot on the PP

 

[Sam Spade]

I'm rooting for Barry to win the Cup now.

Yep, Isles (to stick it to Tavares) or the Blues (for their fanbase).

 

[OppositeLocK]

Guys it's alright. The Caps just won a cup. Team did well, just lost their legs in the end. I think Oshie would have been the difference maker.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Come on people, it's not that bad really.

I am excited for next season.

Same. They can make adjustments in offseason and get rid of Forsythe. Glad we finally won a cup or this would hurt.

 

[illpucks]

This f***ing blows. Ovie is miles above everyone as conn smythe candidate and Hurricanes advance instead. They don't deserve anything. Their team is not good. The caps choke again.

 

[Corby78]

Yeah this is old school caps playoff hockey. They will never take our cup, but they choked again for sure
