Series Discussion: 2018 Stanley Cup Final: Washington Capitals vs Vegas Golden Knights

Getting nervous as G5 approaches. The 3 day layoffs between games is brutal, thanks NHL. It only helps the trailing team that previously had no momentum.

I think whoever scores first in Game 5 will have the momentum. I don't think either team will have momentum at the start of the game.

I'm torn on what to do tomorrow night. Living in the greater Richmond area there aren't many Caps fans that I know of. Love watching the game at home as loud as I want with good beer in the fridge but if they win how the hell do I celebrate by myself?? Might venture to the local Buffalo Wild Wings but not sure how that will turn out

Man....f*** it. No reason in being nervous anymore.

For basically a decade, we’ve begged and pleaded with them to just come up big in crucial games. They’ve done that in spades all postseason. At this point, we owe it to the boys to get behind them and not just think they’ll f*** it up. I mean we’re only worried because of what old teams (really only one that’s even remotely relevant to the current team) did. That was years ago. There is no curse. Logically and rationally, we owe it to be confident and ready to stand with them


(At least until they lose game 6. At that point, I’m out again because I’m weak lol)

i guess u should be fine at home even if they win... they are going to come to dc with the cup and there will be probably a parade or something so u can attend that.

i agree... they dont play nervous at all...i am sure even if they go behind early, this team can catch themselves and stay in the game.

Caps in 1

This doesn't feel like a game they win, but f*** it, they've been destroying stereotypes all playoffs.

Surprise everyone and end a likely close game. Ovechkin in OT.

Caps in 1

That's all it has to be.

 

[peterthegreat12]

I can't sleep. This series must end tomorrow.

 

[Portable Mink]

Today is my hard today. I get to sleep all through your day and wake up and hockey starts at 10am.

Screw having to feel... what was it...nauseously optimistic? all day!

 

[russianrocket24]

Brutal long day here as well. Got up at 7 am, will stay awake till 2 am when the game starts (well, might be 3 am with all the Vegas pregame nonsense).
I am totally pumped for tonight, it's the same feeling as in 2013 before Bayern Munich won the CL after that devastating loss at home a year ago (season ticket holder for 26 years now).
Here's hoping for the same outcome tonight....Go for it, Boys!

 

[Caps8112]

getting ready to go to bed (works nights). sleeping will be difficult but wake up around 4 or 5pm and start drinking heavily and pray lol

 

[Corby78]

So I read that LV had never lost 4 straight. Kinda fitting since they keep playing the “first time card” every time they do something good

 

[Devil Dancer]

lol Models is opening its local stores after G5 tonight if the Caps win. Gotta get that merch right away!

1) You're a Canadian. Americans can talk **** about each other but at the end of the day they're countrymen. I would be pissed if an American opened their trap about Canadian politics too.

The worst take ever posted on this site?

Anyway, f*** the reporter for asking. It might've been wiser for DSP to brush off the question, but he can say whatever he wants. End the series tonight and there won't be much time for people to try to make it a distraction. (It occurred to me around game 4 how brutal the coverage of this issue is going to be if they do win though. It's going to be absolute hell.)

I think with the coastal travel they only really get one day off.

Ovechkin in OT.

We need to save one of those Ov isn't that good because he hasn't....things. Not OT goal is a keeper. Win in reg please.

Somehow a Jay Beagle goal for the winner seems appropo

Take a look at this in the comments for a Caps viewing party in Richmond. Where to watch Caps-Knights Game Five all across the planet

That's an impressive sample of Caps fans in Europe and around the States!
edit: and the guy in Bolivia!

Elaborate?

Elaborate?

You don't need some kind of standing to comment on something. If what you say is worth saying (i.e., right), that's all there is to it. Being from one place or another doesn't make you more or less qualified. I may have overstated the case -- especially considering some of the stuff you see posted here -- but I think it's an outrageous (and very common) view.

Just noticed an odd bit of SCF memorabilia for sale: someone has posted a pair of Stanley Cup Final Home Game 4 tickets for sale on craigslist. They can be yours for the bargain price of $400. Sure to become a collectors' item!
