Post-Game Talk: Caps @ Ratless Bears (NBC pregame nonsense: 3pm)

A reminder...

Done with force and malice, worth 2 games:

Innocent love-tap, not hard enough, happens all the time, no review:

That's the proof that the DoPS is biased. Wilson does that nut shot and he probably gets banned for the rest of eternity.

Time to play the gracious hosts! Spot the Bruins 10 goals, then take them out afterwards for a night of dancing, the Kennedy Center, and a late night movie.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

4-3 good guys.

Joke league.

Tough game to call. Feels like it'll be either a close loss 'cause Boston cares or a blow out by our boys.

NHLN did a segment on the Marchand spear. In the segment they showed the Crosby spear and one by Thornton that happened the same week. Seeing that Thornton was suspended earlier this season for spearing Stastny I was a little surprised this second spear was left under the radar.

Greetings from Boston - Hoping we see a lot of Hershey players today as that would make Doc Emrick happy

just paul carey for brett connolly

also grubauer is in net

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

We have possible 5 teams we could still play in rd 1

If Boston wins, we don't play Boston.
If Ottawa wins we don't play ottowa.
If Toronto wins in regulation. We don't play Tampa or Islanders

 

[twabby]

Glad they are playing Grubauer today and I liked Trotz's reasoning: playing Holtby tomorrow leads to a shorter rest between his Game 1 start and his final regular season start.

I think Boston's motivation will depend on the result of OTT-NYR game (0-0) after first. If OTT lose, Boston will play for the home ice, even though OTT play also tomorrow.

Hopefully the top line gets about 12 minutes and 10 of those are on the PP.

Bruins want no piece of the Caps in round 1. That's plenty motivation.

Boston should be playing to win no matter what. They probably would much rather face Ottawa/Toronto in the first round and stay in the Atlantic rather than having to cross over to the Metro and play Washington and Pittsburgh/Columbus.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

I think if ottowa Boston and Toronto all win we play Toronto

 

[sycamore]

A win for us today is really NOT in our best interest. Especially considering how BRUTAL the Jackets are playing right now. If Pittsburgh plays a patsy, then we need to play one too. Roll over for the Bruins today.

I don't see the leafs taking 3/4 points this weekend and Tampa cannot reach Boston. So If OTT win against NYR I think they won't play/try as hard as if they could have the 2nd in metro

 

[sycamore]

I don't see the leafs taking 3/4 points this weekend and Tampa cannot reach Boston.

But TECHNICALLY the Leafs could take 3/4. Boston won't want to take any chances. They will play for the win.

 

[Caps Circle]

Am actually strongly against the Caps winning this game. Want no part of the Bruins in the playoffs. With Ottawa winning (so far), I would prefer we lose this game (lock in Ottawa vs. Boston) and then root for Leafs/Isles.

Is Ovi playing?

Is Ovi playing?

Of course, why would he not?
