Exactly. The 'author' knows little to nothing about the Caps IMO. He could have called Ovechkin and Backstrom the stars and said supported by Johansson up front but instead he lazily half arsed it. As soon as I saw the url was for that site I knew the 'article' was going to be gold...

You guys are wasting far too much time discussing some idiot blogger.
I'd much rather discuss our clinching a non wild card slot, with a very good chance at home ice, and the 4th overall seed. Pretty heady stuff for this team, considering where they were a few weeks ago.

Who are you guys rooting for in the islanders pens game tomorrow.
I don't know if I can bring myself to root for the pens, and I'm kind of terrified of the possibility that they suddenly put everything together at the right time.

Great Dane! Love that Eller feller.
Rooting for the Isles to beat the Pens in regulation.
If not, I hope the two teams beat the living crap out of each other. Lol.

Yay hockey!
If Detroit loses in regulation, Pittsburgh loses in overtime, and Boston and Ottawa both win, they'll all have identical records with one game left. I have decided to cheer for this scenario.

Maybe they are but more likely they are resting their players seeing as how they have absolutely zero to play for.

true, heres the thing though, resting players vs ottawa can have a negative impact as they are the hottest team right now (ok maybe columbus is) but then your letting them take the 8th spot and possibly first round matchup with the rangers. I would just beat em and deal with a pitt or detroit but thats just me

I predict that Pitt will win both of its last two games, the Isles will split, Detroit will lose both of their games, Boston will split, Ottawa will split. So final conference standing should look like this:
NYR
MON
TB
WASH
NYI
PITT*
BOS
DET
OTT**
*PITT and NYI will be tied for points so standings will be based on tiebreaker
** OTT and DET will be tied for points so standings will be based on tiebreaker

I agree. I'm not a fan of taking your foot off the pedal. The Rangers seem to be with the guys they are resting. To each their own.

Wow. Pens posters are already rocking playoff advitars. We should all save a few of them for taunting purposes in (the entirely reasonable) case Pitt doesn't make the playoffs.

Two games, one vs. Buffalo, won't be enough to suggest a turnaround. They could get on a roll and have been playing better possession hockey but their team defense is bad and their scoring woeful. Their mental toughness has been ever worse. Gotta go with the Pens since I don't want the Pens to miss the playoffs. As far as the 2/3 match-up...whichever. The Isles losing in regulation gives the Caps home ice. I'll take that.
Anything that enables Pittsburgh's freakshow front office to continue should be supported IMO. Shero is gone but their management group is as clueless as ever. Missing the playoffs might lead to the sort of hard changes they've avoided. Outside of Ottawa missing, that sort of change is the likely outcome for whoever does miss out.
I want Berube to remain coach in Philly and everyone who has a job and roster spot to remain in Pittsburgh.

Yeah as much as I'd love to see the pens crash and burn I don't want them to actually make wholesale changes and fix their ineptitude.
I imagine these games are decided weeks/months in advance, or even at the beginning of the season. I don't think there is the "flex" option ala the NFL late in the season.
