Tough matchup two weeks ago. Throw in what has taken place since then and the Caps are in deep shiat. Going to be a battle and if they survive, will there be anything left for Pittsburgh in round 2?

Injuries be damned, the Caps have been playing well. The Bruins are a really good team and this should be a really good series. The Caps might not win, but if they don’t it’s still going to be a hell of a lot better than last playoffs and they’re not gonna go down without a fight.
I think these are the two best teams in the division and the winner of this series makes it to the 3rd round. If the Caps get decent goaltending, I like their chances against anyone. Let’s see what happens.

How do you think the Caps score? You realize its been nearly a month since Ov has scored a goal?

This is one area where I think we greatly improved. Depth scoring.
It could be a blessing this playoffs.

I believe it is going to be a nasty, ugly, physical series - not only on the ice, but on HF boards between us and the Bruins fans

Great Dane! Love that Eller feller.
I chose Caps in 7. Lavi will outcoach the cocktail napkin play diagrammer.

I thought I was the negative one. You all have me beat.

They already hate us anyways
Disagree. It'll be nasty on the ice for sure. On the boards, most of the nastiness will be between Caps fans and Caps "fans." Some supposed "fans" seem to enjoy the Caps losing more than winning, based on what they post. Honestly, I'm tired of the negativity...I believe it is going to be a nasty, ugly, physical series - not only on the ice, but on HF boards between us and the Bruins fans

PP specialist only. Doesn't even need to be healthy. Trainers can just carry him out there and position him in his office. We got this!

Internet message boards and social media just bring out the worst in people.
Imagine if everybody here was sitting in a bar drinking and watching the games. Oh the fun we'd all have! The high fives, the back slapping, the clinking of glasses and general merriment!

Gosh. After reading over this thread it seems like most of you have thrown in the towel.
Pretty hard to make a prediction without knowing the state of the roster. Are they missing their some or the entire top six and 1RD, or playing with most of them hurt? If so, it won’t go well. If the Caps are at full strength I like their chances.

Bruins in 7.
But honestly, it’s hockey. Who the hell knows ? As long as they’re actually interested in playing (unlike the bubble), I’ll stick it out with them

Caps in 7, mainly because their best blueliner by then will be Tommy Cross.

The Caps have 23 goals in the 8 games since Ovechkin has been out (including his 5 min stint against the Rangers). They’ve played with 10 or 11 forwards at times during that period, and have missed Backstrom, Oshie, Wilson, Kuznetsov, Schultz, and Carlson for stints during that time frame as well.
I don’t know if you’re going around trying to be super negative and dunk on the Capitals as a reverse jinx, or what, but feel free to stop because the shtick is getting old. I’m all for being realistic but you’re unbearable right now and most of your “counter arguments” aren’t even valid.

Caps in 7. Hopefully in 6 since we don't do well on game 7 on the home ice. With all injuries and covid list players, our best players will be rusty. Plus suspect in goal. Not looking good, but I'm a believer.
Right where the Caps need to be. With everyone here already claiming defeat. Perfect!
We have Lavi this year and he will get people up and focused.

three keys:
1. Team Defense
2. Timely saves by Vancek
3. Greasy goals
Ain’t going to be pretty. We will likely be missing some skill players and those that play will be rusty and/or banged up a bit.
If we can get to 2-2, we will win the series. I picked Caps in 6.
