Big F$&*in Q
Last night to me they just got overwhelmed by the Caps desperation and had no answer for any of it. Yeah last night the Caps were so good
Fixed.
We'll see what happens when both teams are equally desperate.

We'll see. They could wilt like the Caps have in the past. Kucherov looks like he's one hit away from quitting on the team.Without question Tampa will bring it for game 7. It's going to be a battle and could easily go either way

I'm looking forward to it!
It's more fun being a neutral sometimes.
Less stress.
I said this earlier, but that no call against OV might be the turning point of this series. It certainly woke the monster in Ovie and the team followed his heavy lead. If the Caps come out and play the same physical game, TB might be in trouble.

I think game 7 is a repeat of game 6, but it's gets much uglier much faster for TB.
In 2016 TB held a 3-2 lead on the Pens, got dunked on in game 6 and then lost game 7. Granted that game 7 was on the road, but I think game 7 will mirror those results.Last season the Caps blew the Pens off the ice in game six and then got shut out in game seven in one of the most lackluster showings in their playoff history.
Just sayin'.

There is absolutely zero question that the Caps just want it more. They carry play whether they have the lead or not. They're focused. Washington can blindly throw a pass and it's right on someone's tape. They're blocking shots, blocking zone clears, quick transitions. And they do it from puck drop to final whistle. They've proved it since puck drop of game 1. Tampa hasn't proven anything to me other than that they apparently expect a trip to the finals to be handed to them.
Effort will always beat out skill.
Good post and I agree! I just get so tired of the Caps outplaying the other team, and yes I realize the goalie is part of the other team, but losing in heartbreaking fashion year after year after year.
Praying for something different this time, expecting the worst.
Caps do seem mentally stronger this year. Despite largely carrying play against the pens last year, each game there would be spurts where they completely fall apart letting the pens put up back breakers. That was almost non existent this year despite the series being much more even.Last season the Caps blew the Pens off the ice in game six and then got shut out in game seven in one of the most lackluster showings in their playoff history.

This particular Caps team seems able to get up when they have to. They closed out both Columbus and Pittsburgh in 6. If they didn't choke then, there's no reason to think they'll definitely choke now. Who knows what will happen.
I really don't think we'll win. Too many guys are just happy to be there.
This is a disappointing CF considering how well we handled the Bruins. I hope the organization isn't happy with an ECF showing if this ends tomorrow - some passengers need to be shipped off.
