Series Discussion: (M1) Washington Capitals vs (WC1) Carolina Hurricanes, Category 2

[Calicaps]

They advertise a lot on the radio broadcast as being right down there and selling the pearl: macaroni, pulled pork, and baked beans

This. But also my family seats are near there so I eat a lot of Rocklands when I attend Caps games.

 

[Calicaps]

I wonder who's "aura" wins, Hagelin's or the Washington Capitals?

or JDub's...

 

[Sam Spade]

or JDub's...

We already killed that.

I must say I do not have a good feeling about tomorrow. Prove me wrong Caps. My hangover at work today was my penance.

The none Caps fan gamblers feel good. The line shifted from -135 to -155 when the lines opened today.

It means little seeing how many huge upsets have happened this postseason

I don’t either. I didn’t in game 5 though, so what do I know? Has an eerie feeling though. Carolina broke the “team that scores first wins” pattern, feels like the next pattern could be home team. Feels like Carolina has been a lot closer to breaking through on our ice than vice versa.

If Caps lose, all fault will be on Reirden. Inability to break that 2-1-2 is unforgivable.

 

[TRASHCAT]

They can barely win on their own ice and got destroyed on ours. Expect something like game 6 vs Tampa or game 5 again.

 

[Calicaps]

All we have to do is win the home games, tomorrow is the start.

Wow... I guess that’s right. Or would Boston have home ice if we met them in the ECF?

Shouldn't but if they do it exposes the league as a big joke we already know it is.

I’m unclear when/if there’s reseeding. Anyway, your point stands.

 

[TRASHCAT]

Think Boston had more points.

 

[Calicaps]

Lots of pre-emptive catastrophizing going on in this thread.

Disaster preparedness FTW... or something...

Let’s Go Caps!

 

[Calicaps]

Think Boston had more points.

This is what I was thinking too. Wasn’t sure if winning our division counts for anything at that point. Probably doesn’t.

 

[HandsomeTom43]

Predictions tomorrow:

Canes get first goal off of a deflection. Caps regroup and tie it on the PP with JC74 point shot. Next on the docket is bottom 6 goal for the Caps 2-1, going to predict DSP goal. Hagelin break away to put the Caps up 3-1. Lars Eller empty-netter, Caps win 4-1.

 

[bur and 666 others]

We need our PP work. Last year it was huge for us. We win and die with a good PP

What if they win, does he get all the praise?

If they win Isles will be favorites because of heavy coach advantage.

 

[Sam Spade]

If they win Isles will be favorites because of heavy coach advantage.

And they should be favored, over the Canes or the Caps.

 

[shtorm2005]

And they should be favored, over the Canes or the Caps.

I mean Canes won three basically with only their tactic with many important missing pieces and huge disadvantage on talent.

 

[Sam Spade]

The Caps won three games with only three players showing up to play. That's impressive.

 

[Calicaps]

Because the Caps are definitely not adapting to missing key pieces.

 

[shtorm2005]

I like your optimism, but I doubt other players didn't try at all, it's something else.

Because the Caps are definitely not adapting to missing key pieces.

Yes, that's a better theory. Seems Caps are very talented only when chemistry is there, when not, they're not better than Oilers.

Oh FFS! LOL! Do you see the Oilers playing any hockey right now? Whatever. Enjoy your misery. I'm out.

You mean the guy who got past the second round for the first time last year?

Nevermind compared our team to the oilers. Don't reply
