Great to see the non-turtle. Didnt go into hunker down mode, kept attacking when we had chances, and that mentality ended up being the margin of victory. Great leadership from Ovie tonight, and DSP with the GWG
Stephenson played on the 2nd line in a couple games. When Stephenson got called up he played in Backstroms spot in his first game this season in Vancouver. He scored a goal in that game.
When the last time the caps won 4 playoff games in a row?
In the '09 playoffs, they won 3 games in a row to eliminate the Rangers and the first 2 against the Pens.When the last time the caps won 4 playoff games in a row?

And actually responsible to boot! That’s a legit shutdown line that racks up pointsSeems like we are a harder team to play against with Stephenson in Bura’s spot. Not that i’m rooting for 65 to stay hurt. 18 just seems like more of a gamer. And faster.
Oh wait. Nevermind. Maybe he was actually in vrana’s spot?
Anyway, my point is, 18... me like. Has some swag too, to go with the speed.
VICTORY! Great job to win four in a row, and to have support players stepping up.
OV should be benched. Sorry, but just calling it like it is. He's just not a winner.
If I order a steak from Denny's that's practically the same thing, right?@Skrudland2Lomakin You have to eat your shoe buddy
When Bura's back Barry is relegating Vrana to the press box, guaranteed...What strikes me about Stephenson and to an extent Djoos is Washington has young, fast, mobile rookies it can rely on in the playoffs. That’s been something of a difference maker for Tampa this year, and been a big factor in the Pens’ back-to-back Cup wins.
When Bura’s back, I really wouldnt object to something like:
8-92-43
18-19-77
65-20-25
10-83-13
That would give you speed and execution on every line, guys with a bit of grit on at least three lines, a legit shutdown line, and generally decent two-way game throughout.
That would be my guess. Or possibly Chaisson.When Bura's back Barry is relegating Vrana to the press box, guaranteed...
Chiasson should be the one, he's a non-factor, but it will be Vrana because of reasons. Vrana's speed is so essential if we plan one hanging with the Pens.That would be my guess. Or possibly Chaisson.
