goodbye monkey. it appears the Caps have already lost to Tampa Bay from reading the mains. things that make y0u go hmm

I won't feel this way tomorrow but WHO THE f*** CARES!!!!??????!!!!!!!

 

[PenguinSpeed]

-Good luck in the East, Caps

 

[McVechkin]

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

Nbcsn said the conference finals don’t start until Friday. So there’s that

Consider this for a few. As a fan, the 7 game 2OT loss against the Rangers really deflated me as a fan and to win against an arch rival in OT has taken a ton off my shoulders since then. If it's this way for the fans, I can't imagine it for the players. This should put a big shot in the Caps arm, not just for the remaining playoffs, however for a few years. We have some really good youngsters ready to step up. I'm still stunned.

So we gotta roll 3 lines against Tampa yeah?
9 - 92 - 43
10 - 19 - 18
13 - 20 - 77
25 - 83 -39

Also, something I learned last year as a Preds fan: a team with no expectations at all is a very, very dangerous team. Preds beat the Hawks and got the monkey off their backs and then went all the way to the SCF. This year the Preds are really good but have struggled in the playoffs.

Tampa has expectations, Washington doesn't. That can make all the difference in the world.

Finishing reading to page 28 ... nice to see the relief and joy from long-time posters and other Caps fans, the congrats and good wishes from fans of other teams, and especially the congratulations from the Pens fans. To Pens fans: We'll do this again next year. Hope it's as much fun - regardless of outcome (yes, I typed it) - next time.

Hockey is a great sport.

Wish I could see some more reactions. What was Willy up to? Were Joe B and Locker there? GMBM? Ted? Nicky?

Ovie's sigh of relief is amazing. Someone needs to .gif that.

Was wondering the same thing.

Have to think Connolly will be pumped to play against TB.

F Ted. What a douche comment by an owner who has embraced mediocrity as long as the seats have been filled. Can’t stand that toolbag.

Would been a great time to hear Joe B's, "SCORE!"

 

[Calicaps]

He should be embarrassed.

Nah, grace in victory is a good quality.

Hornqiivst has been holding sticks all night

Yep and I am glad someone else noticed. I have never seen a guy screen, grab a defenders twig, and dive all at the same time. And of course laying on the ice holding the stick in his armpitt playing innocent victim.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

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.

To think we lost him on waivers earlier in the year.

 

[marcel snapshot]

Love that primal scream from Ovie as the puck went in the net. It's the first thing you hear as the puck slides under the pads. Turn the volume way up and feel the catharsis

This post.

Tampa has the expectations. The Caps should be light as a feather, and playing with supreme confidence.

The Bolts will have home-ice advantage, and the Caps apparently love playing road playoff games.

Also, CapitalOne Arena will be an absolute firestorm Game 3 and 4.

Start it up.
