Hello darkness my old friend

 

[airlouche]

I sincerely think Caps win it this time.

 

[DEVILS130]

Every year I say the Caps will finally do it and it doesn’t happen. So I’m saying Pens in 6

 

[tntkid]

Is this the year that Washington finally does not choke to the Pens.

 

[66-30-33]

Hope Pens win. Calling Pens in 5 just because.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Fewer expectations this year, so less heartache coming up for Capitals fans.

The Pens have won zero Cups without going through Washington first. That said, of all ten playoff series between the teams, Washington could've won like seven of them instead of one. It's always close. And this time will be no different.

 

[hockeykicker]

well fwiw, this is probably the first time the pens are favorites, so maybe that helps caps

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

This year
an expansion team won their division, swept the first round and are playing teh sharks.
A team that finished with a historically bad year last year came back and made the playoffs.

if the caps beat the pens in the second round it will still go down as the biggest surprise of the season.

 

[nahcmo]

Should be another great series!

Since Malkin missed the last game, is he expected to be ready for Game 1? I recall the announcers mentioning yesterday he had a leg injury but they didn't say the extent.

Caps in 7

 

[illpucks]

If there is one thing the Caps have improved in its speed. Pens made Caps look slow last year.

 

[Zazzaro703]

God damn it I can't take another series loss to the Pens surely the odds finally have to fall in our favor. Right guys... guys?

 

[Claypool]

If you’re Washington you have to win this series.
