LGP!!! End it tonight.

 

[777]

Go Caps! Hockey fans deserve a game 6 (sorry Pens fans).

Crosby & Sheary both game time decisions

 

[HandshakeLine]

I still would much rather sit Hagelin for Archibald. Alas.

 

[ColePens]

^^ Archi could have been a great 4th liner in this series. Speed is the kryptonite for Washington. Archi is that annoying pest speedy guy. But oh well, gotta end it one way or another. Archi isn't the difference maker. Sid, Geno, Kessel, Ovi, Backstrom, Oshie, etc. are the difference makers.

Each game is a coin flip. Pens have to win one. Bottom line. Caps don't need to win 3. They just need to win 1 at a time. The 4th is going to be very difficult. This Caps team will not go down easily. Maybe the Pens should not flip the puck over the glass 400 times in this one.

 

[Shrimper]

End it tonight. Or something.

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Washington will win this game but Pittsburgh will close this series out in Game 6.

oh boy, I cant go through that delay of game madness ever again

Caps are mega favorites from people throwing money down. -180 is a strong ML for how this series has gone. Typically insiders are not wrong. Lots of money pushing Washington out to be even higher favorites.

 

[Lustaf]

Go Caps! Hockey fans deserve a game 6 (sorry Pens fans).

Crosby & Sheary both game time decisions

CBC showed him taping his stick on the bench and getting ready to play tonight. They said he is good to go.

I don't really understand why the Caps are such favorites right now, I'm seeing them at -172 to +155 right now, which is just insane. Maybe people don't know that Crosby and Sheary likely will be back?

 

[Hazu*]

Can't wait to see Ovechkin, the third liner, cry tonight. LOL

 

[Lustaf]

Can't wait to see Ovechkin, the third liner, cry tonight. LOL

OR he scores the Caps first goal from the bottom six this series and moves back up to the first line.

 

[TimbitsHockey877*]

I think they sold the "3rd line" to Ov to match him and Wilson up with Crosby line. Pens should start 2nd line to make him really feel demoted.

 

[Hockeyholic]

I think Washington wins this one in a blowout. Gut feeling.

 

[LeHab]

Never saw a hockey game broadcast start at 7:15pm before. Because of Kentucky?

 

[Shrimper]

Going with;

Caps 2-0-1
Penguins 0-1-1

3-2 Caps final. Seems to be a fairly common scoreline.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

I still would much rather sit Hagelin for Archibald. Alas.

said no one ever.

 

[deepelemblues]

Caps 4-3 in overtime, they finally play with some urgency and heart

Then they lose game 6 of course

 

[kingsholygrail]

Happy Caps elimination day, HF!

 

[905PENS]

7 D dressing for caps again... Eep

 

[mrwirez]

Let's go Pens... It's cut down day in the NHL.

 

[Lemieuxs]

Is Sheary back also?

 

[DegenX]

is sheary back also?

 

[David71]

crosby back?
