The Bolts are getting every deflection known to man, but they still aren’t playing well enough.Haven’t seen a team carry possession against the Bolts like this in years.

That’s a Joel Quenneville team trademark. He won a few Stanley Cups in Chicago that way, but the Lightning are not going to fall into that trap.The panthers appear to be very mad that they are not as good as the lightning. Lot of dirty cheap shots.
The hit on Sergachev was pretty clean (he got hit literally as he was passing the puck), but the slash on Kucherov was really cheap.Capella said:The panthers appear to be very mad that they are not as good as the lightning. Lot of dirty cheap shots.
Huh? Did you watch those Chicago teams at all?Kal El said:That’s a Joel Quenneville team trademark. He won a few Stanley Cups in Chicago that way, but the Lightning are not going to fall into that trap.
It’s admittedly been a while, but those teams were scrappy as well. At least that’s how I remember them being.Huh? Did you watch those Chicago teams at all?
Slash on Cernak behind the play too. Kucherov looked to be laying it on pretty thick. He’s a bit dramatic.The hit on Sergachev was pretty clean (he got hit literally as he was passing the puck), but the slash on Kucherov was really cheap.
They looked like a team that never recovered from the way they lost Game 3 (their goalie having his head up his ### on the OT goal).not surprised that Bruins are poised to win series. I am surprised series didn't go at least 6. And even more surprised at how lifeless Caps looked last 2 games.
(aside from that last flurry on the PP)
They have two guys who crushed everybody else in production during the season, and now they’re facing getting swept.OIl doing what the Oil do
@McguirePetrov: Wonder if Tom Wilson has to escort Samsonov to whatever corner of Siberia Ovechkin is having him sent toThey looked like a team that never recovered from the way they lost Game 3 (their goalie having his head up his ### on the OT goal).
What I’m surprised by is the non-post of the “Capitals are Choking Dogs” column.not surprised that Bruins are poised to win series. I am surprised series didn't go at least 6. And even more surprised at how lifeless Caps looked last 2 games.

I beg to differ. Happy Gil...er, the Washingon Capitals, accomplished that feat in the 3rd game of their series.Florida starting three different goalers by the 5th game of the series, that has to be some kind of record
lol, forgot Vanecek played period 1.I beg to differ. Happy Gil...er, the Washingon Capitals, accomplished that feat in the 3rd game of their series.
(Vanecek in Gm 1, Anderson in Gm 2, Samsonite in Gm 3. )
ETA: The banner commemorating this will be raised at the Caps 2021-2022 home opener.
Somewhere, Ricky Dipietro is smiling.lol, forgot Vanecek played period 1.
certainly some kind of record for doing it when all three remain healthy. how many years left on Bob's contract, 15?
Bob not even dressinglol, forgot Vanecek played period 1.

Appropriate then, that a Bolts rookie beats him less than a minute into the game.Q pulling out all the stops in elimination game
@FriedgeHNIC: Spencer Knight starts for FLA
thats a pass we dont even make in beer league.And Jarry comes out of the net to center a perfect pass to an islander to lose in 2nd ot. Another early exit for the pens, as they WILL fold in game 6.
Caps went through the motions the next 2 games after the Samsonov debacle. Wonder if Pens reaction will be similar after losing game they dominated in SOG and head to a road elimination game.Another double OT lost by a dumb goalie mistake
