You missed a good chance to call him Stenchnikov, but otherwise, well done! Also, let's kill these f***ing f***s!

Honestly, the lines could be totally wrong. I still have the projected lines from the first game. If they're wrong. Eh. They're projected lines after all.

Might be another 1 goal game or even OT. But I like our chances if we play our game.

Vegas likes the canes slightly in this one

Need 2 points tonight because Orpik needs rest to stay effective ffs!

"If you asked anyone on our team who you would be the happiest to see score an overtime goal, it’s probably Brooks Orpik,” goaltender Braden Holtby said. "Come playoff time, you realize why that kind of game is so important. The way he plays, how hard he plays, how hard he makes it — it would be tough to play that way all year, but in the playoffs you can tell no one’s getting by him.

This game will say a lot for our long term hopes... orrr maybe not.

Kuzy gets room with Ovi and Willy. I’d prefer to see him back there so that Vrana has Nicky. V is more NEEDED by Nicky for speed than Kuzy. Touches the puck more.

I’m thinking Caps hit their stride now. It’s been a slow build. 5-2.

Nick seems to be willing to burn some villages. I think he will be good on either line.

Kuzy is struggling because he is struggling, and for a long time already.

More concerned about bottom-6 anyway

I think we can all sit back and laugh at this point at the Holtby embellishment spin. The predictable ending, a guy scores on him 5 hole as he finished his 360.

If Orpik leads us to another cup, he may be approaching legend status. We were a stacked team that couldn't even get close without him. Who are the widely accepted top DD men in playoff history... Charlie Huddy, Dave Langevin... playoffs awards remain focused on scoring or tending but in the softass modern NHL, hitting and shot blocking are more prominent than ever IMO. In the 1980's both teams would hit each other aggressively, neutralizing any advantage it may gain. With 3 elite hitters on our team, it sets us apart from many teams.

Vegas seems to have finally figured out that every game is a near coin flip/unpredictable, and finally stopped with crazy odds. Bummer. In the past a team down 0-2 would be +170.

Series thread locked. heh.

If we lose, ban her for life:)

I prefer the backup tender approach. Just because Jen won her first start, it doesn't mean we HAD to start her next game. Too late now ha. We push our luck sometimes. Is she a good road GDT author, can she win in hostile territory? There is nothing wrong with sitting idle on a career 1-0 record waiting for a tap on the shoulder. A game 6->7, yeah sure.

Unless we have a game 7 ace in the hole ringer. Anyone that picks up an L should be banned.

Pronger. Stevens. They had offensive games but still. The Caps wanted Orpik. They didn't want a player as good or even better than Orpik. They wanted Orpik
