I hope it's the Jackets. Not because I have an actual preference as to which of the two we play, but because I'd like to see them make it to the second round.
I think the Caps will be our opponents hopefully their series goes 7 but I think the Blue Jackets are done
As much as I'd like to completely break the Caps' spirit, I really don't want to tempt fate again.
The longer we have to wait the better.
Burakovsky is injured so the Caps have Chandler Stevenson on their 2nd line.I dont know. I watched the Caps vs CBJ series, all of the games. I dont like the Beagle and Eller line matchups with the Pens lines. CBJ on the other hand -- shut down Panarin and we are good to go. That is the most dangerous player on CBJ.
Obviously if we play CBJ that series goes seven. That's my preference, I'm sick of playing the Caps.Good for the guys that need to heal...bad for our first line that is on fire. First one is more important. Line 1 can always get going game 2. So yes, the more rest the better. Since there isnt much of that going into the ECF and Finals. This is the time to heal up a bit
I think there's a lot of truth to what you're saying here. I wouldn't take either team lightly, that said the Caps are more formidable down the middle, and that's an area we have a decided advantage at against the Jackets. Even if Geno misses a game or two.I picked the Caps before the first round started to advance against CBJ. And unfortunately I think that will happen. I actually think the Caps have a great chance to beat the Pens if they can be more defensively consistent....better chance then CBJ....also odds of winning three in a row against them?
they played a really solid game against us the last time we played them and Grubauer was killer...if they can play the same way and get good goaltending, they have a good chance...which Holtby or Grubs will show up though?...on the other hand, which Murray?
A series against the Caps could easily go 7 games....
Truthfully, I don't think we want to play the Caps. And if we do play them lets hope their current series goes seven. We don't really know how Geno is doing. He could be out for a week or so.Ehh ..I changed my mind. After beating the Capa last year I thought that would be the end of it..their fans finally learned. "Blow it up, we will never beat the pens"
After reading their board now since they won 3 in a row..."Pens D is weak and Murray looks like trash, we will take advantage" .
Time for another lesson.
