Huge congrats to Legacé! Team did what they had to do. Style points don’t matter at this point.

 

[Crosbyfan]

+ regulation win
+ Maxime Legace shutout
- needing it

 

[Randy Butternubs]

+Lagace

that's about it

Future cup champion Boston Bruins lost at home to the 5-game losing streak Rangers...

Go Flyers

 

[WayneSid9987]

Well, they did their part. Now we wait to see who we'll face.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

+Lagace
+Pens getting the win even if it wasn't a masterpiece
+Carter

Ball is now in Washington's court.

Sucks Bruins lost. Now they have nothing to play for Tuesday if Caps win tonight.

 

[harmonica]

I’m going to laugh if we win the division.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Guaranteed home ice in the first round. Need the Caps to only get 1 more regulation win and then we get to play the Isles first.

 

[66-30-33]

Well glad I was wrong about having no faith in a win because Lagace, shutout!

Caps need 2 regulation wins to take the division, if they have 1 in OT it's ours. Take the Caps to OT Flyers if you're going to lose.

 

[TNT87]

The legacy of Lagace.

Now hold our breaths and hope Geno will be good to go when the playoffs start.

Go that team on the other side of the state.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Why did Geno stay on the bench after getting tripped?

 

[Shady Machine]

What needs to happen for Pens to clinch 1st? I must be dumb because it looks to me like they did. What am I missing?

Caps need 2 regulation wins.

Wait..

So we are likely locked into Isles no matter what?

If the Caps lose or win in OT, Pens get the 1st

 

[Malkinstheman]

If caps get two more regulation wins, they over take us. So they either need to lose one of their 2 games or win one in overtime/shootout

if WSH wins both in regulation it's theirs. any other scenario we got it

Edit: Okay I think we covered it

Caps can pass the Pens with 2 regulation wins.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

Pens having a real shot to get first in this bloodbath division is pretty impressive when a lot of people questioned if they could even make the playoffs cause it was so stacked

 

[Malkinstheman]

Wait..

So we are likely locked into Isles no matter what?

No. We only play the isles if the Caps get 1 regulation win out of their last 2 games. If they win both in regulation, we face the Bruins.

 

[Crosbyfan]

Why did Geno stay on the bench after getting tripped?

He was out again once. Hopefully just a tweak of something unrelated to injuries.

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

Did what we had to do but the goalie saved them.

Lines sucked other than Carter's. Same red flags going into the playoffs. Sullivan has put the team into an avoidable hole with these lines and it's gonna show right away. Plus, now it's clear Malkin isn't 100%. Assuming he can play, you're really going to saddle him with that Zucker combination? Sullivan must be smoking the good stuff these days. L1 will be exposed defensively.

All avoidable problems except for injury. We have the deepest team in years, and they have amazing character. How we do is on Sullivan.
