So both Backstrom and Carlson are playing tomorrow
Again - good.
And they won't be 100%. At least Backstrom won't be. Take advantage of it.

Everything. Absolutely every possible reason. There is absolutely, positively, zero reason to ever cheer for that team.
Marchand trying to injure people on a regular basis, their fan base defending Thornton attacking Orpik, Chara's cheap shot to Crosby after his jaw was broken, Mike Milbury, everything Brad Marchand, Jack Edwards actively cheering when opponents are injured, did I mention Brad Marchand?
I could go on for hours.
For the record, since that comment of mine was taken out of context, I'm not defending Boston or saying people should want them to win.
I was just pointing out the double standard pixie was using where he seemed to be condemning the rest of us as bad sports or not being humble winners for not wanting Ovechkin or the Caps to win a Cup, when he pretty much is using the same reasons to not want Boston to win.
Not all stories need to have happy endings though.There is no story if Boston wins.
Ovechkin is the greatest goal scorer since Lemieux and has not made it past the second round.

That *is* the story.
If Ovi ever leaves Washington, I will happily root for him to get a Cup. But that's more out of spite for the Caps than because I like Ovi I don't really care one way or another about Ovi winning himself. It's the team I am rooting against.I mean, that’s why as a hockey fan I’m happy with either result
I mean, what made those moments particularly critical compared to any other time in the game?This is partially on Sully if you ask me, stop putting Letang on the ice in critical situations. Yea I know you run with the horses you have but why put the lame horse out at the worst possible time.
so you just wouldn't play Letang?I would NEVER put my most gaffe-prone D out there early or late in a period.
Ugh, I’ve heard this before...Again - good.
And they won't be 100%. At least Backstrom won't be. Take advantage of it.
Letang not taking any blame huh? I remember not too long ago when we had another dman who used to do that ****. That stuff is straight up cancer to a locker room.
Ugh, I’ve heard this before...
Remember when everyone was saying that Couterier wouldn’t be 100% and then he came back and dominated?

I think he's referring to Letang not putting blame on himselfI don’t think anyone is not blaming Letang.
But, this series, he is part of our roster.
Do you really think Maatta or Schultz can step up?
Lol, no.so you just wouldn't play Letang?
And who would that be for us? Schultz and Maatta? Oleksiak and Ruhwedel? Where is this steady D pairing?Lol, no.
But I would recognize that giving up early/late goals in a period is deflating psychologically for the team. And would make an effort to put my steadiest, least error-prone players out there at those times.
Especially on D.

Can't possibly root for Boston anything or Capitals. Nashville either really.
If we're out, hoping for Peg v Bolts. That would be a great Finals. And they're both pretty healthy.
