If we sweep them and Jets/Vegas goes the distance do we lose all momentum and get pancaked?

We are converting 2 on 1s far more than I can ever remember. And, we are getting more than I can ever remember. A pet peeve is never passing with an odd man, and here we are passing it late around the sprawling D, leaving near empty net tap ins.
I figured a suspension would be in discussions, after the clean DSP hit on Palat.
also has anyone figured out what the dc metro is doing tuesday night?
My only comment on this is that the PK got it done late. Have to watch the game (only had radio last night) but it sounded like maybe they made some smart adjustments between the first and third that helped and could possibly carry over.One complaint: the PK didn't get it done. I'm sure it doesn't help that 19 is out, but that's the one concern I took away from G2.
Agreed with the consensus that Bura is the weak link right now, but I'm not in a rush to bench him yet. I'd stick with the current lineup through G3. They're just too dominant to play with things unless Backstrom can go.
XM was the only place I even heard mention of the Kucherov kick. They also wondered if Kempney might get a game for the crosscheck ala Morrissey on Staal, but figured nothing would come of it.
I just wonder if a Capital player, let's say, Tom Wilson, were to do that kick what the reaction would be.
Anyway I love Kucherov, one of my favorite players, but man when things don't go his way he gets a little petulant out there.
Or a more healthy Caps team ready to take on the rigors of the SC finals? Step on their throats, take the time to heal Backstrom/Burakovsky and whoever else is hurt. Come out flying in the Finals (if we get there). If you have a chance to end a series... take it, move on.
Pens and Bolts were both healthier than Caps towards the end and it didn't make a lick of difference.
Biggest thing is to keep going, get the next series started 3-4 days after this one ends. Any longer layoff and you're looking at potential snowmageddon 2.0 meltdown.

Huh? Brassard/Kessel/Malkin were obviously injured and playing through it because they were on the ropes. Had those three been healthy, I don't think the Caps would have made it out.
This is a galaxy-brain take. Are you really saying the Capitals should intentionally prolong the series if the WCF ends up being a long series?
If you don't want to end up like the Lightning yeah.
