Braden says, "Oh no you don't Hagelin"

 

[elocomotive]

I actually stood up and yelled at the TV and flexed when the game was over. Hahahaha.

Gotta love playoff hockey.

This Caps team SHOULD have also had Filip Forsberg.

I heard a guy got fired because of that.



And now for the song of the night...

If game 5 of round 1 was Kuznetsov's breakout party, this game was definitely Burakovsky's breakout party. He played well besides the goals. He played smart in his own zone (had a key shot block late in the 3rd), didn't turn the puck over as frequently as he has in some games, and skated really well tonight. Overall, just a wonderful performance that should get every Caps fan excited for the future.

Surely he's no better than Martin Erat...right?

Love Buro and think the Caps have played better since he has joined the team. He's just such a solid possession guy and adds a lot to that 3rd line.

OOOOOOH, BURRACUDA!!!

And now for the song of the night...

Oh....I see how it is....

Congrats Caps fans, good luck in the next round.

Nice try. As the record holder of 3-1 collapses, we're going to keep playing.

I just haven't seen anything from my team that makes me believe we can come back from this.

What about the fact that you can't score?

And our history doesn't let us celebrate early. Takes 4 to close out a team.

That's reason number 1.

 

[ckhokie]

That's reason number 1.

Aside from that (as stupid as it sounds), I don't see anything else. Holtby has been the difference. All 4 of these games could have gone either way. It's not like the Caps are lighting up the scoreboard. I won't rest easy on this series until the Caps have 4 Ws
