So, does Shipachyov regret not sticking it out with VGK yet?
He was screwed over after moving his family all the way to NA to play in the NHL. I'm sure he's happy doing what's best for family as opposed to toiling in the AHL - or "sticking it out."
Let them through? If they only have one good line , what's that say for the competition. Not giving your home team much credit there. Fatigue and injuries are excuses , just like luck and hockey God's, rub some dirt on it and except it.Man watching Tampa in this series was such a bummer, Washington has 1 dangerous line that's all they got. Backstrom is injured, Oshie is only scoring on the PP. I'm still disappointed that Pittsburgh let them through because of fatigue/ injuries and Letang. Fleury, hopefully you still have the great Ape's number!!!
Are you sure? Wouldn't you want to play and beat /lose to one of the best ? Doesn't sound like a formidable attitude unless you LIKE working at Wendy's instead of IBM.Caps would rather face any goalie in the league than Fleury right now. They know him all too well. And theres still that Pens connection. Just when they thought they got the pens demons out of their system....they have to go up against Fleury.
A few bad goals let in by Holtby ...look out.
Caps only win if Holtby wins it for them. Its all on him.
Last guy he wants to see across the ice in net is Fleury.
You're so edgy. I'm starting to think you're Rossi with a HF account.I can't believe the Caps are going to win the Cup. Vegas is like our B team and Caps destroyed us. Vegas doesn't have Letang though so they might have a chance.

My point is for all the people here who say that Pens will compete for the Cup next year, that the window is not closed etc. They may well be in playoffs next year, no doubt. But compete for the Cup? No. They lost their last chance this year. Their glory days are already behind them. We're in for a steady decline and we should brace for many dark down seasons when Crosby and Malkin grow old and eventually retire.

I think Vegas will win this series. Their team is built on the 2016 pens model, that model gives this Caps team fits. We would have beat the Caps handidly if we were healthy. Or if just a few bounces go differently, we actually in our depleted mode out played the Caps in all but 2 games. Enter vegas, they are healthy, playing as a team and have the best coach and goalie in the playoffs.
The only way that this series is not over in 5 games is if Holtby goes into god mode, and MAF becomes mortal. Even in game 7 against tampa I thought Holtby's rebound control was very suspect, it's just that Tampa never capitalized on that. Which is a bit befuddling. Vegas is the fastest team in the league and will come at them in layers, if there are rebounds like those they are gonna go back in the net when they play against Vegas.
Maybe I'm off base, but I thought the Jets where a bigger, better and faster version of the Capitals and Vegas beat them in 5 games, just sayin...
Only downside of Vegas winning will be the "hot takes" on this board that we should have kept MAF. I dont know if i could take it tbh...
But Washington is just sooo unlikable...
I'm rooting for Vegas, but more specifically I'm rooting for MAF. Not to prove some point about this goalie compared to that goalie blah blah blah stuff. But because I probably couldn't name 1 player who looks like they have more fun out there than him. It's almost impossible to root against him.
And do it all with a gigantic smile on his face while mentoring the future goalie of the franchise.Not many would handle the past two years in Pitt the way he did either.
And didnt leave with any anamosity. Making comments to the media like others have. Neal, Niskanen, etc.
I just don't want to se the cup chicken winged and licked.
The only positive of the Caps winning the Cup is Tom Wilson might confuse Gary Bettman with an opposing player and throw a massive head shot on him as he presents the Cup.
Maybe that will finally be enough to get the idiot thrown out of the league for good.
I still can't get over Engelland playing regular minutes.
