***Official 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs thread: Caps and Mystics to raise banners together in October. Congrats DC!!!!!!! (1 Viewer)

[irish eyes]

Dominik Simon would not see the ice the rest of the playoffs. What a stupid stupid penalty. Way to go moron.

 

[E Street Brat]

I slaughtered this horse last Tuesday; 'm afraid she's startin' to turn.

I had horse tenderloin when I was in Iceland last year. It was a fine meal

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Remember: no criticizing the officiating.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Caps will never get over the Pittsburgh hump in the playoffs if they keep taking stupid penalties. 

 

[kupcho1]

Kessel seems to be fully operational tonight 

 

[dgreen]

SHOOT THE PUCK!!  Good grief. 

 

[Osaurus]

Caps really enjoying hanging out in their own zone.  WTF?

 

[Sebowski]

Caps really enjoying hanging out in their own zone.  WTF?

Being the better team and having a lead never works for them. I like this outside the box strategy of being outplayed and down on the scoreboard. 

 

[Zegras11]

that was a weak call lol

 

[dgreen]

An 8-92-13 line will be a turnover fest. 

I get the feeling Trotz has no real plan for the top line. Just throwing different things out there hoping they’ll work after keeping DSP there for waaaay too long. 

 

[dgreen]

SHOOT THE PUCK!!  Good grief. 

Kempney with a SOG from outside the blue line. Maybe they got the message. 

 

[JaxBill]

Malfunction junction, what's your function,?

Hooking up Pierre with QMJHL coaches, teammates and Khristopher Letang

 

[dgreen]

I don’t think I’ve seen this many players thrown out of the face-off circle before.

 

[dgreen]

An 8-92-13 line will be a turnover fest.

Or they’ll score 2 goals. 

 

[Zegras11]

ovie with the nice dump

 

[irish eyes]

Letang is awful, that is all.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Caps fans still think they should trade Ovie.  

 

[Zegras11]

Maata...oooof

 

[Dickie Dunn]

That last sequence in the Caps end was lawlessness.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I have the Preds-Jets game on PIP in the top right corner and I’ve thought Murray was leaving the net for the last five minutes.

 

[irish eyes]

Effing Kessel AGAIN with the give away. What a horrible game. Pens handed it to them on a silver platter. Series OVER 

 

[dgreen]

There is nothing I would love more than to beat the penguins in DC and see the fans go bananas. However, please please please please please please please please win game six.

Tom Wilson's season is officially not over

I'd rather end this in their house. 

 

[hammerva]

After the completely awful 2nd period I can't believe how dominant the Caps were in the 3rd to win.  With probably an injured Backstrom and Ovi almost useless.  

I thought game 4 was a must win for the Caps.   Game 6 is a must win X 1000.   

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Did they ever say what was up with Backstrom?

 

[Sebowski]

@dcsportsbog

Since 1998, the Caps, Nats, Skins and Wiz have played 13 playoff games in which a win meant a conference finals appearance. They're 0-13. Chance No. 14 comes on Monday.

 

[dgreen]

Did they ever say what was up with Backstrom?

@granthpaulsen

Just went back and looked at Nicklas Backstrom's last shift. With 13:12 to play, Crosby falls awkardly on Backstrom's left leg. He almost went to ice. Didn't play after that. #Caps

It's going 7

preordained

 

[Capella]

How is that even possible 

 

[dgreen]

How is that even possible 

@ngreenberg

Even if you thought those teams had just a 20 percent chance to win each game, we'd expect them to go 0 for 13 just 5 percent of the time. It's really stunning.

God bless you guys hanging in there, especially having to deal with Snyder too. I would have just become a comic book nerd or a porn addict instead.

I think I've seen this movie before.....................................

 

[Zegras11]

J-E-T-S!

 

[Zegras11]

J-E-T-S!

 

[JaxBill]

This game is bananas. That 4th Jets goal could  be huge.

more likely their 6th.  8-5

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

sweetness by Connor

 

[Ghost Rider]

This game is crazy. 

 

[rockaction]

sweetness by Connor

That was sick.  

 

[sho nuff]

Nashville D just hanging Rinne out to dry tonight.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

OK, maybe Connor is a little better than Zach Senyshyn. 

 

[falguy]

Refs let them play all game and now that is called? 

 

[Zegras11]

LOL

 

[The_Man]

Trotz said upper body injury for Backstrom. Speculation is about his hand being hurt on a first period shot block 

 

[Ghost Rider]

When did Nashville get so sloppy and commit so many awful turnovers? Seems to be a recurring theme this series. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Wow, P.K. drills the clear of Ehlers’ back, then deflects the shot off the end boards instead of letting it get to Rinne. Tough sequence there.

 

[sho nuff]

For all the goals he has had that have helped...he has made more negative defensive plays this series.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I keep thinking the Jets’ helmet stickers look like those ones you would have pulled out of a pack of Topps Hockey cards in the late ‘70s.
