No morning skate? Are we assuming same lines?

No morning skate? Are we assuming same lines?

I think that's a pretty safe assumption given the result of last game.

Kinda curious. Did we do away with the hot lap?

It’s back! Alex Ovechkin did a hot lap ahead of the Capitals’ first away game of the 2019 playoffs.

I mean after that train wreck of a Game 3. Supposed to be a new person after each road loss.

Edit: I don't mind. New year, new things. And these guys always have some kind of weird new ones.

This is the first series where my hate for the fans and coach exceeds my hate for the opposing players and refs. Hard to hate their players because of how soft they are but it's always been easy to hate the people of Raleigh and phony tough guy coaches.

Funny, too much “Main Boarding” Silky!

Let’s not pretend those posers aren’t still lurking with those notions.

True. Yea. The I told you so is one soft 20 game stretch away

 

[txpd]

it's always been easy to hate the people of Raleigh.

What is the matter with you? On this hand Raleigh NC. On the other hand Philadephia. There is no f ing compare. Hating people from Raleigh is like hating people from McLean.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Hope the ice is in better shape than it was in game 4. If I had a dollar for every time Pierre commented about the poor ice quality and the puck bouncing during that game, I could retire. Pierre made no such comments during game 5.

Too true, I've been to the Islanders and Pens GDT threads on their boards and it's like they get upset at calls and Caps players but there's some consistency. The same posters bitch for 3 days about the Ovy/Svech fight, say they should try to injure 8 and 19, then foo fooing calls for a Foegle suspension.

Philly is 90 minutes away, hating people from Philly is like hating people from DC. Hating people from Raleigh is like hating people from Roanoke.

Seems like a huge advantage for Carolina so I doubt they will be proactive about trying to fix their ice, not that they'd have too much time to do much about it even if they wanted to.

3-0 record in Game 6's during the last run.

Time to continue that trend.

While this is correct, even better is this: 4-0 in elimination games on the road last year. Lets not diminish closing out VGK in their house just because it was game 5. These Caps, unlike the Caps of yore, know how to step on the throat when its exposed!

Interesting read Brooks Orpik wants Andre Burakovsky to be his best self

In the most trying season of Andre Burakovsky's professional career, there was nobody harder on the Washington Capitals winger than teammate Brooks Orpik.

"He's on me," Burakovsky says. "Every single day." In fact, it's almost every time Burakovsky opens his mouth.

If the Capitals have a long practice, Burakovsky sometimes takes a treat to the locker room -- a can of soda. "He's all over me for that," Burakovsky says.

If Burakovsky is chewing on a protein bar, Orpik will sometimes grab it out of his hand, read the ingredients on the wrapper and lecture Burakovsky if there's too much added sugar.

"[Orpik is] always watching [Burakovsky] at the dinner table, giving him the eye when he eats bread," teammate Brett Connolly says.

Let’s just focus on winning game 6. That’s what this thread is for.

K?

Thanks in advance

Anyone have a pic of the look on Ov's face after he scored his ppg in g5? I recall it being a new look. Total satisfaction

This one? Here’s all 6 goals the Capitals scored in Game Five

Umm... I guess this just came out right out after I posted that. Who here works at RMNB??

The Capitals’ hot lap is dead

 

[Calicaps]

Carolina gdt is up. The OP is exactly zero words. They have adopted our thing. Weird

Like they adopted the Horn Guy. Still bugs the shit out of me.

 

[DrewGl]

Didn't Pittsburgh do this too with a horn guy?

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

I asked HornGuy about this on Twitter as I noticed Pitt has a horn in EA NHL 19 but we don't, he told me the Pitt one is a team based one.

 

[895]

I'm predicting a big win tonight. 5-2 Caps.

I get the feeling Carolina players would be "okay" if their season ended tonight. They've already way exceeded expectations and have too many injuries.

That look says... Not Being Suck.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

I can smell an OV 2 goal game
