Red Wings fan here...Well done guys - you hung in there and earned the 8th seed...Give the Rags hell!
Funny thing is, there was a big red tank crowd here the past 2 years. Salivating after every loss. Obsessing over draft position 2 months into the season. Ready to sell everything and everyone under the sun at any given moment. And i'm sure that they will all be back as soon as something goes wrong in the playoffs. But for now, today must really suck for them. And it feels good.I don't know what to say to a depressing bot first thing in the morning after the Caps defied all the odds and make the f***ing playoffs. Anything can happen in the POs...anything. It means at least 4 more Caps games and the youngins gain more experience at a minimum. Please go be miserable elsewhere.
As someone who grew up in CT and whose family used to have season tickets to the Whalers, sending you a big hug my dude. And some bourbon.Since I just lost my team, and New Yorkers who've lived here for decades were always bigger dicks than Cap fans, I'm rooting hard for the Caps. Happy for you all.

Right…And 1 game doesn’t make the season…My beloved Detroit Red Wings had every chance to make the playoffs, but they found ways to lose multiple times in December and March so they have nobody to blame, but themselves.Boy, fighting off hate and saltiness from three teams is much tougher than just beating one in the playoffs. I guess Philly fans have a point about that disallowed goal, but hey you gotta play the whistle and the players did. We've been on the other end of those calls in the past, most teams have.
Let's F*cking Go Babe!
Red Wings are my 2nd favorite team, used to love watching the Russian Five and pulled for Bob Probert many times during his up and down career. If the Capitals lost their spot to Red Wings I'd be much more okay than if it was to the Flyers or Penguins. You guys have a great young team, kind of sad for Kaner but he's had huge success in the past anyway.Right…And 1 game doesn’t make the season…My beloved Detroit Red Wings had every chance to make the playoffs, but they found ways to lose multiple times in December and March so they have nobody to blame, but themselves.
. . . and some of the "tankers" waited well beyond two months into the season to suggest a selling strategy, considering the age and composition of the roster, the underperformance of several of the players (including our star SC-winning goalie), and which guys were on expiring contracts. What was it, a 4.5 percent chance of making the playoffs at one point in January? Selective selling/player movement was called for, and indeed it's what BMac did.Funny thing is, there was a big red tank crowd here the past 2 years. Salivating after every loss.

Would be fitting if Chuckie became our Halak.We are the 2010 Montreal Canadians
Dylan McIrath is Hal Gill. Panaran is Tomas Fleishmann.
That'd be glorious. I was so irked at Bruce in that series. He insisted on getting Flash out on PP1 and he was getting manhandled at every chance. Sprinkling him on every line randomly during the game thinking he was his superstar back in Hershey. It was even too much for Bruce to watch and he finally benched his little buddy for game 7.Would be fitting if Chuckie became our Halak.

Monk's cafe is legit for Belgian beer nerds, but everything else in that city is a seething sewer of humanitarian regret...sponsored by Adidas of course.
Wasn’t McIlrath drafted by the Rags, as well? Or am i misremembering?I am convinced every cup winning team needs a Dylan type. A big puck eater that can knock forwards down and wont easily break in half. Of note, it seems our 2 smallest defensemen are out injured. AA can fill that void some...
I really think knocking an opponent to the ice is an underated skill that basically creates turnovers odd mans spurs break outs and should be a highly coveted advanced stat... only hitting is all but gone from the game at this point. Damn hard to score dazed sitting on your ass.
Willy ran someone over by the boards ONCE yesterday. Guess what, We got a 2 on 1 from it and IIRC & one of the very few all game.
