Post-Game Talk: Golden Knights @ Caps, 8PM

[AussieCapsFan]

My wife calls me moron all the time, but surely this one would be different!

She can call everybody on here a moron if it helps the Caps to win a Cup! The more(on) the merrier!

 

[RandyHolt]

I am a moron too!

So, lately I have had to drink a Stella Artois in every period, while sporting my go to hot weather Reebok Quick Dry Caps TShirt.

 

[Portable Mink]

Isn’t Eller on the hot lap till he loses? It should be him.

My unfortunate lucky thing is to not wear any caps gear

 

[Oilers in NS]

No kidding. I can't stand soccer either.

I'd be flat out embarrassed to be a fan of that sport, on the right. Jeebus, that's shameful!

I love soccer. It's a beautiful game when played at the highest level. But, yes, the diving and flopping is irritating.

Embellishing rules if you can get away with it. The problem is there is no incentive to stop.

It's a beautiful game when played at the lowest level too. I don't agree with diving when nobody has even touched you, that's cheating. But if you have genuinely been fouled, there's no harm in making sure the ref has seen it and giving him a decision to make. If someone has pulled your shirt, or in hockey say tripped your leg, whether is was enough to go down or not, he shouldn't have done it, it's a foul, make sure the ref is aware. That's my stance.

lol here you go

A Diving Double minor will work for the NHL.

I can't view it in Canada. Trump put the kibosh on us Canucks. Here is another I found

I just can't get into it. I had a friend over from London, England years ago. Very friendly gentleman. He was a big supporter of Chelsae and even wore the tattoo's to prove it. Basically he told me that when Chelsae plays their hated rivals, the fans participate in brawls throughout the city and he is one of those " Soccer Hooligans" . It's too bad the soccer players were not as tough as their fans.
I painted my garage recently and I had more fun watching the paint dry

You should watch football (the premier eague for example) in the 90's, early 00's . You can find highlights on YouTube lol

Ovi is definitely a fan of Vegas. I think he was spotted at a pool party in Vegas a few years ago with Tiesto after the NHL awards.

Win-win-win situation for the guys in red if we win the Cup. They get to party in Vegas immediately or they get to be treated like gods in the streets of DC.

If Ovie wins the cup, they are going to fish him naked out of the Bellagio fountain.

Key and peele futbol flop,
I'm sure you can find it somehow, it cracks me up

 

[kicksavedave]

Hilarious!

 

[Monsterrain]

Ugh, soccer is the worst.

 

[CHKN]

I haven't decided if I'll watch it live (Friday morning) or save it for Friday night when I can have beers.
Mmm, beers - okay I think I just decided.

Problem is someone will spoil the result for me if I wait

I don't have to worry about that - I am the ONLY person I know in Australia who watches hockey, so as long as I steer clear of this board and a couple of other websites all day, and make sure I don't switch on the TV news (because IF the Caps win it will make the news here in Australia, as a 30 second sports item). I can sit down at around 5.30 PM and watch the game in blissful ignorance with a six pack of beer.

So IF WE WIN...IF... Does Nathan Walker get on the cup? He had an assist in a playoff game? Would he have to get ice time during the finals to qualify? How about Madison Bowey, he played 51 games this year...isn't the criteria half the regular season games???

per wiki

per those rules (point 1 and 2), Jerabek, Boyd, Walker and Gersich don't qualify

but that 3rd point, if I understand correctly, means that those 4 + Copley and Pinho should be on the Cup if Caps win, because they are listed as scratches on nhl.com

Name inscriptions

Currently, to qualify for automatic engraving, a player:

1. Must have played, or have dressed as the backup goaltender, for at least half of the championship team's regular season games. OR:
