Series Thread: First Round: Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Washington Capitals

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Congrats Caps. Hope they win it all.

Can someone explain to me why Kadri got a penalty when Oshie did? I didn't like the icing before the winning goal that left Marincin out there but I didn't see Naz do anything wrong there. Robbed the Leafs of a chance to win it late.

Wild opening series. Finally able to breathe easy

Young dudes on the Leafs are fun to watch. Gotta be excited for the future.

Ho hum, another Washington - Pittsburgh series, those are never any good.

He was grabbing and holding Oshie prior to Oshie cross checking him back. Stupid crap from both of them. I think at that point in the game they were reluctant to call Kadri for interference or holding. And after Oshie hit him back, same, so they walked them both off.


In any case, good series, Leafs' fans. Your team represented well and you clearly have a bright future.

After the play, he went back to Oshie and they started pushing and shoving. Then he punched Oshie. Probably woulda been a PP if he'd have had a little more patience.

Great series. Leafs are going to be a real contender in a couple years. I hope the leafs get a cup in their near future. But fuck Komarov.

I really like how the Caps improved their defensive shape in the last couple games of this series as well. They looked much more like the team we watched all year in games 5 and 6. That's a good sign. Caps three stars for the series for me...

3rd star - Orlov
2nd star - Williams
1st star - MoJo

Now that this series is over, I can finally admit this....

I don't get dart guy.

I thought he was funny looking, but I don't know why he's called dart guy.

Did you guys see him tonight? Anderson made a save halfway through the 2nd. They zoomed in on him from the side and Dart Guy just passed through the background behind the glass in the back of the shot. It cracked me up.

That was my guess Canadien slang

Or maybe pencil-dick?

This should be very interesting moving forward as Washington does still have home ice to lean on, but not a lot else.
