Johnson has had his ups and downs this season, which is already more than I expected (I expected it only downs). But our D gelled nicely while Maatta was out and in the playoffs, knowing what to expect from your teammates is not an insignificant thing. And with the Isles speed / physicality, JJ...

Yeah, it wasn’t something that jumped out at me at the time, but honestly, it's so unclear what constitutes goalie interference in this league (incidental or not) I was wondering what others thought. The other two disallowed goals were pretty black and white.

I always find the reaction to one game pretty hilarious. By almost every measure (score, shots, high danger scoring chances) this was a very close game. But the reactions are very, very different - I presume it has something to do with incoming team expectations. (Which also don't make sense...

Bit of a crazy game, but the fact that Geno and Phil are engaged is a really good sign, going forward. Regardless of the outcome of this game, I like the offense we showed this game, easily could have potted five or six. (Defense has not been so good but the mistakes are fixable.) For OT, I'm...

I don't mind it, because it's a) better than a coin flip and b) maybe it will reduce the number of late game time wasting antics. I'm really torn about England's game today. I'd like them to win in style and go into the knockout on a high note. But the Group G winner side of the bracket is...

Some high drama in that Argentina game but boy, are they horrible for a "good" team. I can believe how many corners / crosses didn't even make it past the first defender. Or guys just bungling the ball out of bounds. The bracket is shaping up to be one of the most lopsided in history. Already...

Wow, what a match! That's an incredible way to keep your world cup hopes alive. (Yes I know a tie didn't eliminate them, but it would've made things a lot tougher.) Crazy to think that Mexico still has work to do. Belgium looks great. Hopefully England can get to six points tomorrow morning...

I can't believe I saw England clutch out a win in extra time. Was it in a pressure-free round robin game against a bad team? Yes, but still a minor miracle! And I never thought someone could come up with something worse than the NHL offside review, but Fifa did it! I don't understand VAR at all...

Gotta say, I've been pretty entertained so far! Some really good matches. Spain v Portugal was one for the ages!

Holy smokes what is this shop

I'd be totally cool if the Pens / Caps went on an epic rivalry run and split the next six cups. (4 for us though)

OV looked happy! Well, time to turn this off before they pass it to Wilson! Cheers Caps fans. Your team deserved it! Enjoy the celebration!

OV got his Conn Smythe... but more importantly Bettman got booed! Vegas fans are officially NHL fans now!

Omg I just realized the Caps are gonna cerebrate their first Cup win IN LAS VEGAS. They might still have a literal Stanley Cup hangover next fall...

I felt surprisingly happy for OV and the Caps after the final horn. Congratulations! Heartbreak for the Knights. Will they ever win the big one??

I haven't watched all Caps series, so I'm going a bit by what I've seen other Caps fans say on HFboards; he seems to be one of the prime whipping boys when the Caps have lost a series. I know his numbers, but I also know that in pro sports, rightly or wrongly, athletes are judged based on their...

Well, it certainly looks like the Caps have this locked up! Sure, they do have a brutal record up 3-1 in the playoffs (something like 7 and 5???) but I just don't see it with this squad. Kuznetsov and OV are putting up Geno/Sid circa 2009-like performances, Holtby is looking composed and...

Congrats Caps on your first finals win! Now go fuck yourselves.

More interested in watching basketball tonight but I couldn't help but notice "Tom Wilson" is trending on Twitter. I'm shocked!

I'm not in favor of the Pittsburgh West thing at all. Screw Fleury. Likeable guy? Absolutely. Huge factor in 2009? Yes. All time classic save against Lindstrom in game 7. Clutch last year through 2.5 rounds? Awesome. He plays for a different team now. But. I can't cheer for the Caps. I'd like...

You and every Caps fan, OV. I like OV but maybe win the cup in a year you don't defeat the Pens, mmkay?

I think the Caps played it really well. They had the structure to suffocate, and the skill to counterattack. The odd man rushes were decidedly lopsided towards the Caps.

Ugh. The media takes if MAF makes the final, let alone wins, will be off the hook. Even if MAF is better this year, which was surprising, still the better choice long-term to keep Murray. But feels a bit silly paying Vegas to take him off our hands now...

Ugh. Congrats to some great fans in @elocomotive and @ritari330, and the other Caps fans on the board. Dragon slayed! Monkey off the back! :suds: I thought it was a close series, but Holtby was better than Murray, and the Pens offensive depth never showed up. OV didn't score tonight, but he...

Sheary Backstrom ..oh, he's not playing? Oops.
