Like txpd said, our failures pale in comparison to Tampa Bay on this night. I'm trying to compare it to our failures and I can't find a connection. Losing back to back years to Pittsburgh after winning the President's trophy is bad, but they've lost 6 straight playoff games and had a historic team this season in the regular season. Naturally, if Tampa comes back next year and wins the Cup I'm sure their demons will be released but it is going to be a LONG summer for everyone involved with the Bolts.

Ive said this several times already. The Lightning were killed by their regular season. The pressure on them at the start of the season was Caps level. That ridiculous regular season made it impossible

Feels like this has to be a certain degree of validation for all of Jarmo's moves at the deadline for CBJ. This was their year to go all-in, and they just finally got their first series win in franchise history. It wasn't Stanley Cup or bust for them, it was playoff relevance or bust. And they just achieved that relevance.

Great time for a stick break.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Wow. This is the craziest playoffs

 

[895]

Broken hockey stick for HHOF

 

[Calicaps]

They all didn't pass 1st round

what is wrong with you? why?

 

[AtNightWeFly]

What. A. Night.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Seal the deal!

 

[txpd]

Gonna be hard to be a Bolts fan and show your face for a while

 

[895]

YES

 

[Calicaps]

BOOM!

 

[txpd]

Big changes coming to the flightless birdies too.

 

[895]

No excuse to not make it to the SCF now.

 

[Hivemind]

HA! Suck it Pens!

I take little joy in the Tampa loss (we've been there like them, hard for me to take joy in that). But the Pens losing is always sweet.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Rofl, why can't Caps get EN like that.

 

[shtorm2005]

lol that's it for Pens and Bolts. Funny how Malkin and Crosby talked last summer about how they want to revenge Caps...

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

Hopefully this also wakes up our boys, two teams that looked like they didn't really expect to compete in the first round were swept.

 

[Hivemind]

Potential for some Trotz vs. Reirden round 2 drama

 

[HandsomeTom43]

Man, Pittsburgh and Tampa GONE in 4, unreal. Love it. Should be a wake up call for the boys, as if they needed any more motivation after getting their ass whipped last game.

 

[HeyMattyB]

This has been a Truly Delightful night of playoff hockey.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Between last night's pathetic loss and watching the Bolts and Pens eliminated, the Caps better get motivated. Their opponents sure are.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Lol . Pens swept and Crosby one assist and -4. Lol.

 

[Hivemind]

Almost got our fifth empty net goal of the night

 

[shtorm2005]

what is wrong with you? why?

Caps didn't pass yet. That's why no need to make fun about Pens and Bolts yet, otherwise if Caps fail, we won't be able to make a fun of it.
