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

[Raikkonen]

Well. Im trying to catch up. Not much time until my wife wakes up so why would I go sleep now? Nah, too late!

First things first. Kuzy was the first who touched the puck that Crosby lost for a moment.

Next thing - watch Ovechkin's postgame interview on Sportsnet. Never seen Ovi like that. His eyes tell everything. Add Nastya's situation to that and Ovi will play on one leg with half hand and still score goals against Vasilevskiy. He's gonna be unstoppable. At least I hope so. One clutch performance after another this series. Impressive stuff by captain.

Braden Holtby. He would be our Conn Smythe candidate if not for Ovi's career and clutch plays

Djoos is still alive! Orpik is the monster on skates. WTF?!

Happy to see many people coming here and typing things. Seems to be a big deal, this win.

Bottom line: nothing's done yet. Forget it tomorrow.

 

[McVechkin]

Past caps teams played a very conservative system in these tight games and gave the opponents the outside all around the ice and eventually they would breakdown. This team suffocated the pens. Neutral zone gaps were perfect and Dzone pressure points were great all night.

Wow, I'm getting in my car and driving to Piney Orchard right now! ! Everyone meet me* there, we're going to party like it's 1998!









* I'll be there in about 4 days.

 

[Drakon]

We've all trashed Trotz hockey. But whatever it's flaws, it worked flawlessly tonight

This may also be the fastest lineup he's ever iced. That helps. All of the kids can fly.

 

[HawkNut]

I'm very happy for all Caps fans.

**** ‘em all.

Being an underdog is awesome, especially against the TB Rangers.

 

[RickyHP]

congrats on the win guys, what a game. now get that cup! (but not really because I like having another fan base to share the heartache with )

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Absolutely Holtby was a difference-maker. He has to be. Amazing performance. He was their best player in the series IMO.

He's playing like 87 Hextall in my book.

What is Nastya’s situation?

I'm just glad you guys are out because SJ historically owns the Caps. Good luck next year!

 

[Monsterrain]

Gotta say, real class from a bunch of Pens posters around here. I mean, I guess they can afford to be magnanimous with all those Cups, but it's mighty nice all the same.

Really shocked by this. Didn’t see this coming.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Just realized we're going to see a whole new level to Ovie's playoff beard!

 

[Drakon]

Leonsis said probably Thursday for game 1 on NBCSN. Here we go.

They're advertising Friday on Nbcsn.

Omg the series that made me a Gretzky fan for life. Close....Holtbeast gets us to the Finals and we can talk.

 

[MaximusT]

What is Nastya’s situation?

Yea - I would be interested to know as well.

One of the greatest finals in my lifetime. It was sweeter also liking the Oilers. It was pure entertainment for any hockey fan, especially as a kid getting really into hockey. Was nice to sneak and stay up to watch those games on satelite.

Not happening!!! I won't forget it, ever!!

Yea - I would be interested to know as well.

The rumor she is expecting maybe?

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Interesting. If Nashville wins tonight, game 7 would be at 8 PM, so that's weird. If the jets win that makes sense, but friday is likelier if nashville wins

Why wouldn’t they have game 7 on Wednesday?

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Be sure to tank in 18 years if she is and has a boy.

 

[Calicaps]

Yea - I would be interested to know as well.

Rumor has it that she’s pregnant but I don’t think it’s been confirmed.

 

[Sam Spade]

This is how I saw the game as well:

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Wow, I'm getting in my car and driving to Piney Orchard right now! ! Everyone meet me* there, we're going to party like it's 1998!









* I'll be there in about 4 days.

I wish they were still at Piney Orchard. I’d be tempted to drive up there tonight. Would only take me 20 min.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Congrats on slaying your nemesis ---in their home building in OT, none-the-less!

Caps will get well needed rest the next two days!
