ECSF: (1) Washington Capitals vs. (2) Pittsburgh Penguins | Capitals Lead Series 3-2

[pokey10]

Welp, in my lifetime this would be the 6th series ive seen us play against Washington. Do law of Averages extend into the hockey world?

 

[ColbyChaos]

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

Cant choke if there are no expectations

 

[Kitsune]

Caps in 7... game 7 will be tied with 5 minutes left when a Pens player scores an own goal giving the caps a one goal victory and sending them on.

 

[pokey10]

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

Isnt that weird to say but feel so true?

 

[Rusty Razor]

Long time no see

 

[Fire Benning]

Pens in 4

Que Caps fans complaining about refs in 3....2.....

Complaining about reffing is what losers do (and most cap fans have a loser mentality)

CBJ/WASH series had bad calls both way, but overall it was fairly officiated. Good or bad reffing, the only thing that matters is fairness.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Let's do this, Pittsburgh.

 

[LeHab]

Remarkable comeback by Caps vs CBJ. Pens will be a different story, too bad for Ovy.

 

[Sidgeni Malkby]

Just wow! I wanted to beat on Tortorella . Oh well.

This series is going to be fun.

I know this may be unfan like of me, but if we don’t win the cup, I wouldn’t mind Washington winning it.

Such a talented team that can never bring it.

That being said...Pens in 6 .

 

[illpucks]

The poll results so far look like Vegas vs LA

 

[WcRoenick97]

Me this series

 

[Hockeygod66]

It's the caps year. I can feel it. Caps in 6.

 

[Corvidae]

I'm a Penguin fan but even from the winning side I'm honestly just so f***ing sick of this match up.

I think this is Washington's year, though (to then get stomped by Tampa or Boston, as would Pittsburgh).

 

[MOGlLNY]

As much as I want the Caps to win and see Ovie get the monkey off his back, I just can't see it happening. Penguins in 6.

 

[Laura]

I have Caps winning in my bracket, but I have a feeling Pens are taking this one again....

 

[Tryamw]

I just cursed the Caps by picking them in 6.

 

[LeafSadist]

Pens in 7.

 

[SalsaShark]

This again. Pens in 6 maybe 5. Washington does not have heart to compete in this series. Talent maybe, but not the heart.

 

[Corvidae]

Caps in 7... game 7 will be tied with 5 minutes left when a Pens player scores an own goal giving the caps a one goal victory and sending them on.

That would be Kris Letang, finishing his reverse HT.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Another year, another playoff exit at the hands of the Pens for Washington

Pens in 6

 

[Demandedace]

We have a bit of an infusion of speed this year with young guys like Stephenson/Vrana amongst others - should help us big time this year. Holtby is going to be the X-factor though I gotta think

 

[apollo71426]

X factors for the caps --

Eller on O
Kempny on D

I expect Pens to abuse Orpik and Orlov.

 

[Machinehead]

This will go how it did the first 1,002 times.

 

[hockeykicker]

This again. Pens in 6 maybe 5. Washington does not have heart to compete in this series. Talent maybe, but not the heart.

im not saying caps can beat pitt but if that series vs jackets didnt show heart after already being down 2-0 in series and in ot in game 3 and then rolling then idk what to tell you
