I said caps in 5 each series last year and it worked out so....

 

[Johannes de Silentio]

Let's do it!

And I never once voted last season so I'm sticking with that.

No dis to the Canes at all, and heck the Caps may lose, but this is a good matchup for the simple fact that the Canes are probably the least physical team in the playoffs.

That can NEVER be a bad thing.

Caps in 6. Some shit to work out....

 

[hockeykicker]

all playoff schedule is released tomorrow at 10am

They also have the least proven goaltending in the playoffs

 

[Lindemann]

They are a good team

But we are so far ahead of them when it comes to talent, team play, speed, system, etc

If they played anyone but Tampa, they would of had a shot IMO

But they're already free :think:

I’ll be shocked if it’s less than 6 games in either direction. I picked Caps in 7.

 

[Sword]

I voted Caps in 6. Caps will find a way to make it harder than it should. I wouldn't be surprised if Mrazek steals a game or two.

Unless we need someone to jolt us out of lethargic play. Someone to poke the sleeping bear. How hard will we hit someone that won't hit us. They do have Ferland.

I wonder how much better their team would be if they weren't still paying Semin.

I went caps in 6 every series, let's keep it going

I didn't mean the Caps won't be physical. The Caps will play whatever game they want to play and will dictate how the series goes, good or bad.

Tripp Tracy. I understand who is audience is but he just suggested that Mrazek was going to outplay Holtby. He said they are a better 5 on 5 team. Said Ferland and company could out Tom Wilson Tom Wilson.

I was listening to that and almost spit out my drink, especially the bolded.

I will be traveling to Raleigh in all likelihood to cheer the boys on--if anyone else is going, would love to grab a beer. I hate to be the fan that's around just during the playoffs, but my job was surprisingly difficult this year, but I digress.

I can't wait for the playoffs to start. I think we will probably win in 5. Hopefully Barry and company can give the Pens a run for their money just for the sake of it. I'll always hate Pitt.

Caps in 6, because Ted wants the extra game of revenue.

I mean...He said it twice. I was like....huh?

Game 6 is at Raleigh

Hockey Gods have already given us the perfect draw: we get the Canes, Tampa will have their hands full with the Jackets, ditto Pittsburgh with Trotz and the Isles.

I think one of the regular Hockey Gods must have died last year, and was replaced by a more liberal, progressive Caps fan

 

[Raikkonen]

Canes, Isles and Bruins is not bad for the road to the cup.
