We are very close to #3 Metro and a match up with The Rangers and Lavi or The Canes with Kuz and Orlov. It might be a very fun spring
#1: Avoid the dirty areas
#2: Make the risky play
#3: "With great power comes great responsibility."
#4 Me Twabby, will always hate Tom Wilson, whether in the lineup or not!
Thought they got a little too greasy at times but I was happy with the way Strome and Dowd avoided contact and got some clean looks.
Again, they weren't bad but I think they could have afforded to do a little more east-west and rushes up the ice. As an example, Lapierre made some incredibly risky plays in OT that paid dividends. More of that, please.
Spencer Carbery with a master class in coaching, benching NAK after some let's just say "peculiar" defending.
3-0 w/out Top Line Tommy. Go figure. And not beating any lightweights, either.#4 Me Twabby, will always hate Tom Wilson, whether in the lineup or not!
There's nothing fun about the playoffs. Only stress and disappointment.We are very close to #3 Metro and a match up with The Rangers and Lavi or The Canes with Kuz and Orlov. It might be a very fun spring
I think this year would be different for me. We’ve won our cup (albeit, a little while ago now), and we weren’t expected to do bunk this year. Add to it, that we were dead and buried just a scant 6 weeks ago…..and this totally feels like we are playing with house money.There's nothing fun about the playoffs. Only stress and disappointment.
Except that one year!
totally agree. a bit like the first time Ovi and crew made it. the expectations then were higher but not do or die. it was get in, get experience, maybe win a few, have fun.I think this year would be different for me.

I didn’t expect them here, and I don’t expect them to win a round. I’d hope they’d win 1-2 games. That would satisfy me. Put a little “scare” into which ever top seeded team they are playing.
That's a reasonable way of thinking. I don't do that.I think this year would be different for me. We’ve won our cup (albeit, a little while ago now), and we weren’t expected to do bunk this year.

I'm still pissed about that missed goalie interference in game 7. Arg!totally agree. a bit like the first time Ovi and crew made it. the expectations then were higher but not do or die. it was get in, get experience, maybe win a few, have fun.
Yep! And his speed to create the ball imbalance which leads to the need to interfereLapierre has drawn interference calls in 3 straight, 4 of the last 7, and 5 penalties in the last 10 games. Hockey IQ is out of control.
I mean, they didn't even let him play on his bubblehead night. Not sure i recall this happening to another player aside from injuries etc....yesterday was the first time in 8 years of season ticket holder fandom that I saw the guest services willingly give out extra bobbleheads after the game
Sad Darcy's career has come to this
Thing is, if the ref calls GI on the Flyers 2nd goal in Game 7 as should have been called, or doesn't make that absurd call on Poti in OT - we win that game, and then likely blow through Montreal into the 3rd round (as a very mediocre Philly team did) against Sid and the Pens. Apart from being a great spectacle, we would have gotten more experience winning playoff series earlier - and that would have made us stronger for the subsequent series to come.

If you make the playoffs and have a 38% chance of winning each series you have a 2% of winning the Cup. In a capped league it is rare for a team to have as low as a 38% chance to win a playoff series. I truly believe if the Caps make the playoffs with their centers they have a greater than 2% to win the Cup.If your a true Caps fan, this stupid, crazy, pointless little run of theirs is beyond depressing.
I'm not mad at the Caps though. They're just dong their jobs. I am royally pissed at the freakin'
Dead Things and pitiful New Jersey Devils. Particularly Detroit, who are doing an impression
of Free Willy landing on some beach and flopping around in the sand. PATHETIC. The Red Wings
players should be denied their salaries. They should be fired and should be sent to fight on the front lines in one of the current global wars, take your pick. That will wake them up.
Now watch as the Caps get swept in 4 and Pittsburgh ends up with a franchise player in the draft.
