Don't care.
IMO, any true Caps fan shouldn't care at this point. Some teams have better odds than others of beating the Caps, but they all are at least 50/50.
You are just trying to argue, Tex.so...if CBJ takes out the Pens the Caps lose too?
You are just trying to argue, Tex.
And the Jackets wont beat Pitt.
Yeah I'm not super excited either.
Last season was the first season in forever when I didn't get over the Caps elimination immediately and watch the rest of the playoffs.
I didn't watch a single game of the Final.
it's opposite for me. First time I don't have any expectations. Before I always hoped for something and was very stressed out like i put all money on them to win all they way. This time I'm relaxed and just eager to see how they prepare and play each opponent. I'm excited to watch other playoffs as well and see with what plans the coaches come up to win the series. It's the playoffs and playoffs hockey which is totally different animals, there are always some stories go around. I don't know, but I'm super excited actually.I never watch hockey after the Caps. I might not watch the playoffs this year since it sounds like they are doomed already.

I thought about starting this one. Went w/Devils.caps have officially clinched so we can talk about first round matchups
I just received our playoff tickets. Literally through a 4th home game for the SC finals. This has never happened before that I can recall. WTF? Epic jinx on the part of the franchise. We're doomed.
It's been that way for awhile. Maybe they held back in 2007-08, but when they've been in, they print and mail tix to the max possible home matches (i.e., up to 4 per round). Saves Ted a bunch of $$. I imagine most franchises do it this way but don't know for certain.
Yep they’ve sent full playoff tickets before. I had the Finals tickets in my hands in years past....of course they never ended up being worth the paper they were printed on.../cry.
