Capella is getting Capped.

 

[wilked]

Bolts just #### their pants that period

wow

 

[caustic]

Costly little nudge with 10 seconds left there. 

 

[The_Man]

Pens had 6 even strength goals in 6 games vs Caps. Ning have none through 5 periods. Holtby is playing very well, Caps just need to stay out of the box (and step up the PK when they don’t)

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Costly little nudge with 10 seconds left there. 

No real reason for it either. What were the Lightning reasonably going to do with that little time on the clock?

 

[Smoo]

Ning

Nope. Don't care for it.

 

[Wingnut]

Maybe us Lightning fans shouldn't have wished to play the Caps over the Pens.

#DOH

 

[The_Man]

If Capella were to yell Joe Bryant’s name right now we would hear it on the broadcast 

 

[The_Man]

If Capella were to yell Joe Bryant’s name right now we would hear it on the broadcast 

Or maybe speak it in a conversational tone of voice 

 

[Wingnut]

This is just a beatdown

 

[caustic]

oof

 

[Zegras11]

Is this game 39 of the season?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Crazy. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Best to sell the franchise at this point.

Quebec Lightning has a ring to it.

 

[rockaction]

Kempny with a really smaht penalty.  

 

[The_Man]

Caps took crappy undisciplined penalties in third period of Game 1 too. Gotta cut that crap out. 

 

[dgreen]

Chip it out. Chip it in. No penalties. That’s all you have to do. It’s like just running and punting. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Is this game 39 of the season?

Tampa has to give McDonagh and Miller back to the Rags, IMHO.

 

[Zegras11]

At least Cappy will get a refund on Games 5 and 7.

 

[Zegras11]

Tampa has to give McDonagh and Miller back to the Rags, IMHO.

combined minus 5 today

 

[rockaction]

Wow. That was a rocket on a weirdly bouncing puck.  

 

[The_Man]

Kunitz time coming up

 

[Smoo]

Oh good. Now we get the part of the hockey game where the caveman DNA get to take over.

 

[kupcho1]

Teams up 2-0 in this round are 39-2

Smoo has the vapors I do declare 

 

[The_Man]

Teams up 2-0 in this round are 39-2

Caps: “Hold my beer.”

 

[Smoo]

Teams up 2-0 in this round are 39-2

All teams or road teams? Road teams up 2-0 are surely something-0.

 

[Smoo]

Smoo has the vapors I do declare 

Smoo doesn't understand why hockey players can't learn to play a physical game without spilling toxic masculinity everywhere. 

 

[caustic]

If there’s anything the Caps are good at, it’s defending 2-0 leads.

 

[rockaction]

Smoo doesn't understand why hockey players can't learn to play a physical game without spilling toxic masculinity everywhere. 

This is up there with soccer/flopping shtick. Well done. 

 

[rockaction]

And I always vote Smoo in the polls.  

 

[rockaction]

They cheered the last minute to play in the period. 

Hwarf. This series isn't over, though.  

 

[Smoo]

Kucherov, seriously.

 

[dgreen]

Kucherov, seriously.

He got “tangled up”. 

 

[rockaction]

Connolly, really? 

 

[The_Man]

I know this still probably ends in disappointment, perhaps disaster, but this 10-2 stretch since going down 0-2 to Columbus has been the best time I can remember in more than 30 years of being a Caps fan. I’m just going to enjoy it while it lasts 

 

[hammerva]

Do we have to go back to DC for game 3 and 4 

 

[Capella]

If Capella were to yell Joe Bryant’s name right now we would hear it on the broadcast 

Long gone bro 

 

[Capella]

Bolts need to bring in Gruden to get this group over the top imo

[Wingnut]

Can't win with Cooper.

 

[Sebowski]

What the hell did TB do to their jerseys? They used to have such cool jerseys, now they look like the damn Maple Leafs.

What happened to calling them the lightning too? Bolts? When did that start? Maybe because I'm in San Diego, but Bolts are the Chargers. Have your own thing. It's like the warriors pretending they came up with the Dubs. 

 

[Sebowski]

Caps: “Hold my beer.”

Lots of hockey left.

These have been their 3rd Jersey for about 4 or 5 years now, if not more. They wear them several times a year.

Martin St. Louis never wore one. Nikolai Khabibulin was never called a Bolt. There's nothing wrong with The Lightning. Leave the bolts to the stupid Chargers.

I'm working in Tampa right now and Go Bolts signs are everywhere. The city has embraced it, it's not goin anywhere. Unfortunately, neither are the Lightning after this round. 

 

[avoiding injuries]

I’m sure everyone is n Washington would love to have Jay meet them at the airport when they arrive. 

 

[JaxBill]

Bolts jumping into Conference Final like

@holdmyale: Hold my beer while I jump off this cliff. https://twitter.com/holdmyale/status/996001582633377792/video/1

 

[falguy]

Unrelated, but am I the only one surprised @Wingnut hasn't been told to change his avatar?  Not that I'm complaining, of course.

Related, Hoping for a good game tonight.  So far this round has been a turd.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Stan would have never let this happen
