Well with zaitsev out, the odds are stacked higher against us. Which I think will make them try harder and play better.

I'm excited for playoff hockey. The only thing that will disappoint me is if they play with no intensity, if they play like they've already given up. In the playoffs I want to see no quit

John Shannon: Washington in 5
Eric Engels: Washington in 5
Christine Simpson: Washington in 5
Luke Fox: Washington in 5
Chris Johnston: Washington in 6
Mark Spector: Washington in 4
Gord Stellick: Washington in 5
Jeff Marek: Washington in 4
David Amber: Washington in 5
Sean McIndoe: Washington in 5
Daren Millard: Washington in 5
Ryan Dixon: Washington in 6
Eric Francis: Washington in 5
Rory Boylen: Washington in 5
Doug MacLean: Washington in 5

While I'm totally realistic about our chances, I would absolutely love it if we came out of the series. Would be so beautiful.
Hey look all the same people who gave us NO CHANCE TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. I'll take it.

This is going to be some tough sledding

It was going to be ugly before Zaitsev got hurt it's going to be even worse now

I don't think turning this thing into a track meet will be beneficial to us winning either

We need to hang in there early and take the sting out of the Caps and there crowd
Get a hold of the puck and not turn it over cheaply
Be the team that instigates contact and show we won't back down or be physically intimidated
Play 5 defenseman with as little Marincin as possible
Freddie needs to help out our D by moving the puck which will help if we can make this into a battle of attrition
Have Freddie go God mode
Try to get into there heads

That happens you never know

I bet most of them predicted we wouldn't make the playoffs either.

Well, here we are.
