Jesus christ.

Fuck me.

I thought He was more into the saving souls thing.

Well I won't have anything remotely positive to contribute to this or any thread tonight.

So have a good night, all.

Brutal, brutal, brutal series the way this has all gone down. It's one thing when we fold and choke like we always do. But what the refs have done to us in this series is a little more than I can bare.

I want to puke.

Tough season, my fellow Caps' fans. We'll get 'em next.... ah fuck it.

 

[elocomotive]

when do the caps get to the ice for warm ups?

And this is the kind of post I would tear a new asshole if I had any heart left at all.

Lundqvist 1-10 in his last 11 visits to Verizon.

Great... great time to get that 2nd win.

What strikes me here and has since the Rags second goal is when they cut to the bench, Oates looks like he has no idea what to do or say.

 

[Jets201]

Hen-Rik chants were louder than the Caps fans who remain.

That shot of OV, head down on the bench...

same one 4 years ago to the day. Hurts the same.

Sorry bud.

Good luck in the second round Rangers fans.

Caps now 2-7 for Game 7s on home ice all-time.

Salute to the real Caps' fans out there. We're hardcore.

 

[RangersReds03]

Good luck in the second round Rangers fans.

Thanks, it's unfortunate our teams had to face each other because I feel both deserve to be in the next round.

Congrats, Reds.

Good luck in future rounds.

It stings right now, but don't you dare let those dirty, dirty Penguins make it to the Finals.

You got to talk to the Sens about that one.

Was it really to the day? Dang. Because that's the memory that it struck with me.


His post game comments were...intriguing. Basically called the NHL a conspiracy. KHL brainwash? Nothing like a painful loss to bring out the true feelings I guess.

Check your sources, Pix. Twitter can be a bad bad thing. Retweeting excitedboberrey and StephenBSmith accounts are all over it right now. None of those thigs were said. He complimented Lund and called him the best in the game. Other than that, just canned "disappointed" "work harder" "thank the fans" responses

I watched his postgame interview - I didn't hear anything like that.

If OV had wanted to complain about the refs, it wouldn't have to be a conspiracy or out of line to do so. They impacted this series and didn't do their jobs. That said, the Caps had chances to win this series, and didn't get it done.

@SlavaMalamud
Ovi on refs: "Not saying there was a phone call, but they wanted Game 7. For ratings. You know, lockout, escrow, league must make profit"

Am I wrong to trust him? Honest question.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I would trust him. That's not the quote I was seeing, though.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I just want to know how the Caps could lose Game 7 at home 5-0?

I can understand losing the game, but not being embarrassed in front of their home crowd. To me their performance was worse than the Leafs choking at the end of the 3rd period against the Bruins. At least the Leafs left everything on the ice.
