Post-Game Talk: The Defending Stanley Cup Champs vs the Defending Stanley Cup Champions....of 06-07

Big win.

 

[sycamore]

We have seven guys on this team with 20+ goals for the season (well, Backstrom only has 19 but he's right there).
That's just crazy. Contrast that with Pittsburgh who only have 4.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

I’ll take the two points but damnit OV hit the empty net!

 

[IafrateOvie34]

A nice relief to make the playoffs. Now to get goal 50 and clinch division.

 

[heartbreak]

were going going, back back..

 

[Devil Dancer]

Good win on a night when they were out played. Holtby great, Jensen and Orlov not so much.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

That win clinches a playoff spot.

The icing on the cake would have been an Ovie goal.

Ah, well.

Next game.

Who cares about 50 and another Rocket. Only one trophy matters

 

[TRASHCAT]

Canes hadnt lost back to back in reg since mid January

I think Ovy cares.

 

[Sam Spade]

Me. And they won the trophy that matters.

Some people want allz the trophiez!

 

[Sam Spade]

That's the way you come back and win on the road.

The Canes blow.

Let's go Caps!

 

[AussieCapsFan]

Me. And they won the trophy that matters.

Particularly since the odds of him winning a Rocket are WAY better than the odds of our team winning the Cup
(sorry, just being honest)

 

[Marshall]

Sweep a home-and-home (with a day in-between, admittedly) against one of the hotter teams in the league - that also happens to be a division rival - and lock up the playoffs?

Impressive work.

And Connolly's going to get paid. Good for him.

 

[Sam Spade]

Exactly how I see it.

I'm gonna be completely honest here if the choice was Ovechkin catching Gretzky (not likely, but just putting it out there), or the Caps winning another Cup, I take Ovechkin all day every day.

Well and its becoming more likely that the Canes are the Caps 1st round opponent. Not exactly sending a message, but can't hurt the Caps confidence.

Can you imagine BMac having to decide between re-signing Connolly or Burakovsky? That will definitely be his big off season dilemma.

If Ovie catches Gretzky (with the Caps, of course) then the chances of the Caps winning another Cup would be much, much greater.

So, I think we need both.

 

[RandyHolt]

Conno in previous years? He doesn't have the puck on his blade long enough to curl. He has added to his game a ton.... the only guy that I see that has added more, is Willy.

 

[peterthegreat12]

Question, do the Caps re-sign Dowd?

 

[OviTaughtMe]

Remember when the season was over after the losing streak?

Eh, I don't think the regular season and the post season have anything in common, but it would be awesome if BOTH happened.

Too bad for those Caps. There's always next year.
