(1) Washington Capitals vs. (5) Tampa Bay Lightning - Series Thread

[Forty_Sixand2]

If this thread turns into draft talk. I will refuse to post here at this post. :p

Don't be bitter that Gerald McCoy has not panned out yet. Give it some time.

I've read a lot of over confidence in this thread so far, which is great, but Tampa is very resilient and skilled. I wouldn't discount these boys too-too quick. Just sayin.


GO BOLTS!!

lol That's pretty bold 46-2.

Hopefully there is enough healthy players left after these current matchups for our series to be worth a damn.

I said we have the better team, but Roloson could steal the series, I don't think that is discounting them. That's just acknowledging we should win, but we can't look past Tampa Bay either. Roloson has played well against us.

Just a note for any of you local Caps' fans...

Tickets for tonight's game are as low as the $60-70 on StubHub right now. That might be the cheapest ticket we'll see during these playoffs if you had any interest in going to the game.

Just a heads up.

Huh? We want to play hockey, not bang them.

Stop projecting.

 

[SLY]

Damn... I wish I could score tix that low. I spent 130 bucks on Game 7 tix. Worth every penny though. I looked at the tix prices for the second round... My living room couch and the bar sound pretty good to me.

Yeah, I'm thinking about it. Dropped a hundred for tickets in the first round. I might have to add Caps' tickets to my budget.

Not sure why b/c they were selling for $140 for this game last week. Hell, many regular season games were pricier than $60 for the cheap seats. May have to go...

I KNOW!!!! lol, I spent more for the B's/Habs game where we won 7-0 than a fucking game 7! Crazy...

 

[SLY]

... and yes, after this season, B's tix are being added to my budget.

 

[sTyLnK]

Go TBay. Only because I want the 41 year old to win it all. It would be a damn amazing story if he did. Realistically though the Caps are too damn good and will win.

great quote by Boudreau

"If goliath is 6foot6,then davids 6foot5".- Bruce Boudreau on Guy Bouchers suggestion that caps are heavy favourites. Should be fun series.

That IS a great quote. A good analogy for hockey playoff series in general.

Thanks for sharing!

Early in the season, if you knew these two teams were squaring off you would have though it would be a battle of great offenses and high-scoring games. But as it stands, the Caps and Bolts have the two hottest goalies of the first round. Strange.

Good job 46 and Ritari - the first time those words have ever appeared in a sentence together.

Btw, we are about 5 strong with CR and Apache coming on here from time-to-time as well. CR didn't post in the last series though, and said to follow superstition, he may not post in this series as well.

I'll be reading the SportsHoopla...I always do...even when I go weeks without posting. I will probably post once the heart rate gets back closer to normal. It suprises me that I still get this way after all these years of heartache. I remember telling a couple of my buddies (Steeler fans) that "it's just a game" after their Super Bowl loss. Unfortunately, when it comes to the Caps, I can't practice what I preach!

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Hoping to see Arnott have a big series wish the best for him.That said Let's Go Caps
