If they loose again i would laugh hard

"They?" "Loose?" "Laugh hard?" So, care to translate?

Hope tonight is a great game. Even as a Pens diehard I called this the year the Caps finally got past us. They've played very well, especially Holtby. Gotta tip your cap to them. We'll see if they can close out Pitt in their building. If they do, nothing but congrats headed their way. If not, all I hope for is Tom Wilson not killing somebody in game 7.

 

[HunterSThompson]

Well based on the matchup in any given period/draw it would be nice to flip with Stephenson. (Hopefully)

Not a bad idea.

They' ve lead the league in PP time in the last 3 Post season including this one!!!!!!!!!
Coincidence!!!!!!!

Post hoc ergo proter hoc

Hoping for a great game as well. The Caps seemed destined to win this. Coming back twice in third against the Pens just doesn't happen. That, coupled with they've got Holtby and we've got a shaky Murray. There's enough of a difference right there.

The payment receipts to each refs lol
You dont work for the FBI that's for sure lol

Team with most games played has most powerplays??? Rigged league, Malkin must have been on it. See my evidence below

Checkmate Penf fans

 

[Laineux]

Bäckström is the only WSH center who can match up against Crosby If he's out from g6 and g7 it's not looking good for them...

 

[Sypher04]

I'm still taking Penguins in 7, but the Caps have been impressive this postseason so far. Who knows.

 

[compan]

A Caps team that can beat the Pens will be a hard team to beat.

Does game 7 go Wednesday?

If there is a game 7 it is Wednesday at 7:30

Tonight hockey history is made. GOATvechkin finally gets past the 2nd round.

 

[Snippit]

Pens are going to win.

This is a false statement, fake news, lie.

Power Plays per game in this year's playoffs for the final 8

SJ: 4.7 (47 in 10 games)
VGK: 4.0 (40 in 10 games)
PIT: 3.9 (43 in 11 games)
TB: 3.8 (38 in 10 games)
Was: 3.7 (41 in 11 games)
Nas: 3.0 (33 in 11 games)
Bos: 2.8 (33 in 12 games)
Win: 2.7 (27 in 10 games)

When you have to lie to make your point, you've lost the argument.

Wow. That blows that theory out of the water

Wonder what he'll make up next?

Look like that NHLrumor tweet guy may have been correct about Backstrom.

Based on what? What have you heard and from what source?

I think the Caps can steal game 1 or 2 from the Lightning without him, but long term they need him against the Jets or Knights

 

[DearDiary]

Backstrom not even skating, plus the Caps bottom 9 has been juggled like he's not going to play.

 

[Sam Spade]

Based on what? What have you heard and from what source?

Based on the lines at a.m. skate (no placeholder for Backstrom but an actual line), based on what Trotz is NOT saying, and the "rumor" tweet about him not being able to hold a stick yet. Unless they can shoot him up with something before the game.......

This might be Sam Spade's source for Backstrom?

Yeah that was posted earlier in this thread and I def used it combined with the other things I noted. Hope he plays but it really looks doubtful.

 

[Syrinx]

The fix is in. Sutherland and Furlatt also reffed Pittsburgh's 8-5 game 6 win against Philly.
