Can't watch this one as I'm off to Northumberland in the morning . My mind will be there in spirit though. Come on Caps!!

In my head I’ve had this game as a typical Caps home no-show loss since winning game 3. Prove me wrong boys and crush them at home and in 6 like predicted!

No score prediction....just WIN.

 

[ovikovy817]

I just want for once to see Pittsburgh play a must win game against us while it's not a must win for us. (it's only possible if we take the game 5)
to see, how they play under real pressure, when it's only on their shoulders.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Do it for Lloyd.

On holiday in sunny LA (over from the UK) and going to seek out a dingy dive bar to watch the caps play.

Please show up.

 

[OviTaughtMe]

Please do the exact opposite of what naturally comes to you.

Please

I just left LA. Watched game 4 in a Buffalo Wild Wings 10 mins from LAX. WAS PERFECT.

If its all the same from the past two years then I have a good news and bad news for you, ladies and gentlemen. Good - we gonna win this game. Bad - we gonna get knocked the f*** out again in an embarrassing fashion. So I'd prefer us to lose this one, get back to Pitt, take game 6 and pull off a huge upset for NBC and Pens lovers all over the world in game 7 at home.

 

[Raikkonen]

Doesn't matter how but if we get to G7 Wilson coming back will surely help mentally.

So win tonight or in Pittsburgh.

I expect the first period to be a garbage top line and maybe will see a respectable team/showing in the 2nd if it's corrected.

Part of me also thinks they won't fix it till mid way through the 3rd.

By then it would already be too little too late

Anyone want to place bets on what Trotz's plan C looks like for the top line?

Ovie - Beagle - Chiasson

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

You just buried us

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Just saw this. Referring to Trotz as the “current” head coach I found interestin. RMB doesn’t like the line 1 combination.

 

[HandsomeTom43]

Such a loser mentality, to keep that line on a "short leash". Yes, please wait until we're down a goal or two before you make changes. I don't say this lightly, I dislike Trotz more than Oates, and Oates was atrocious.

The only way this makes sense is if Barry thinks he can get favorable matchups with this line against the non-Crosby lines. Even so, knowing you're going back to Pitt for game 6--where all these lines sucked--isn't logical. One would think, you would want to get your lines clicking and firing on all cylinders, god forbid that ever happen though.

I knew it was Peter Hassett before I clicked the link.

 

[Holtbyisms]

f***ing win.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Wow... that is shocking. I didn't watch last game but OV with 0 shots is no bueno. Maybe he thought the result of last game as more of an attitude problem than a line chemistry problem? I sure hope he's seeing something that we aren't, otherwise it's going to be a long night.

 

[Bananas]

OBO and Stephenson-Kuznetsov-Vrana is what I’d roll with if Stephenson is indeed not comfortable at RW1.

In any event, this game is huuuge...

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I care not who scores for the Caps, just do it for Holtby. Don't take stupid penalties, hit, and shoot. I want to see a bunch of hard shots too, not fancy plays. If Pens want to block them so be it, but shoot the dang puck. Make them pay for those shots.

I think that is a good line setup with speed and skill. Stephenson can play shadow.

Yep, I agree. He stinks. In other news, let's go CAPS.
