Post-Game Talk: Game 6: Caps @ Pens | 5/7/18 | 7:00pm EST

[Sam Spade]

I know you don't love Pens fans coming over, but honestly - congratulations. I thought the Caps earned and deserved this series. Awesome resilience. Awesome heart. @Eazy for Kuzy - you can tell me i'm right finally in the spring when I said a free spirited Caps is the best thing that can happen.

Congrats. You guys EARNED it.

ColePens you are one of, if not the, best poster on this board and I can never recall you being a dick to Caps fans, this post means a lot, so thanks for it.

Pens have one of the greatest teams ever, it feels so good to finally get past them.

[Cletus Marley]

Congrats to the Caps and their fans. Long time coming.

kuzy:

lol check the flyers playoff thread, they are just as happy as we are xd

 

[Corby78]

So it was a defensive play by the ovie line against crosby’s line...... wow just realized that.

“WE NOT GOING TO BE SUCK THIS YEAR!”

 

[JenniferH]

I literally screamed and cried 'OHMYGOD!" for about 2 minutes straight, fell to my knees, clutching the TV stand and just stared at the screen after it happened. I'm still in a state of euphoria!

 

[RandyHolt]

Caps Fan that was at the game reporting that even the Pens fans were laughing at the non calls.... Way to represent us proper! Now get the f*** outta shitsburgh and report back to base for the conference finals and your next assignment. Oh and plan on booking a ticket to Tampa.

i know we dont wanna talk about this right now, but a predators win tonight would also be huge for caps. would give backstrom at least 4 more days

 

[OVrocks]

Man, that was awesome, but I just can't see us beating Tampa. They have 4 lines that can score, speed to spare, amazing defense and a monster goalie. No real weaknesses on that team.

Yep. Go Preds Go!

didnt we say that about the 2008-2017 caps?

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

The Aussie on our team that was born in the UK, and moved to Europe at 13 to play hockey, has a American accent. Go figure.

Oh stop. Give us a minute, will ya?

The pressure is off this team. They’re playing with house money. We will be in the SCF again.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Was a great game and so glad they put the whistles away for it. No replays, no lame calls, and clean play for an epic night.

 

[foundhockey]

I was jumping up and down in front of my TV. I'm so happy. Ovie's face was all relief, such happiness. Too good.

Even the funereal commentary from Milbury and the silence from Pierre couldn't get me down. Boo hoo, NBC. Caps won!

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

Woooooooooohooooooooo!

Good job guys! So happy for OV. 3 big plays in your last 3 game winning goals.

Happy for Eller aswell.. Always liked him when he was playing for my team.

Caps all the way!

I can’t keep up w the thread to post my thoughts.

40 years. 2 series wins v the Pens. 3 times into ECF. 20 years? OMG

Brilliant game. Real David and Goliath moment with the forwards so depleted. I can’t believe how well they played. Honestly....it wasn’t a “lucky” win or a freak bouncing puck. They won and should have won.

I’m so happy for all the players. Wow. And of course the Captain8. And of course Trotz. Their first times. The men deserve it. Together.

Cheers to all Caps fans. WE deserve this too. As much as anyone.

ON TO THE NEXT!!

We may have loud obnoxious minority of posters, but a lot of the vets will be rooting for Ovy. Without a doubt. I cannot wait to see Washington/Tampa.

And in reality, this is just entertainment at the end of the day. The Caps with a cup vs. the Pens with cups. Ummmm TAKE MY MONEY. I'll watch it and so will a lot of casual fans.

So CCF, is Kuzy worth his $7.8M salary?

 

[tycoonheart]

I'm a fan of Nathan Walker. Dude reminds me of Matthew Perrault. I think we need to make room for him in the line up.

 

[GoldOnGold]

Congratulations to all the Caps fans who have been waiting years for this.

If the Preds don't make it, Trotz and Ovi need their Cup.
