Series Thread: Conference Finals: Washington Capitals v. Tampa Bay Lightning

[Duke of Douchington]

Caps wasted about 10-12 seconds there trying to get the perfect shot. Just fucking shoot.

Okay, now here's an insane stat/trivia note.

3 times the Caps have gone p 2-0 in a series on the road. After doing so, they are now 0-11 in the games following.

1996 Eastern Quarterfinals: won first two games in Pittsburgh, lost in six games.
2003 Eastern Quarterfinals: won first two games in Tampa Bay, lost in six games.
2018 Eastern Finals: won first two games in Tampa Bay, now down 3-1.

Guess it took a Caps 2-0 series lead to wake up the Bolts.

It's kind of my specialty.

My cousins are huge caps fans and one of them posted that. He also wants to find the guy who got the broom signed.



I just thought it was an insane bit of trivia. And I feel the pain. It's still pretty raw to me this year. WHY DIDN'T YOU STAY WITH GRUBAUER?

This. It would be like posting a stat that the Blue Jackets have never won a playoff series. You can do it... but it's kinda just to be a dick.

Really nice weekend and a gorgeous day outside today. Too bad the Caps' couldn't make it an amazing one.

That said... we're still alive. But it feels kinda like this...

Keep the faith. All you and the Caps should do is focus on tonight. Tonight's home game is all that matters.

Caps fans remember the last time the Bolts were up 3-2 in the ECF.

I do... but sadly history has skull fucked this organization so I'm going into tonight thinking this is the last caps game I'll watch for 4 months. Hoping I'm wrong of course but it is what it is.

It can be a Kuzy... or an OV... or a Holtby... or even a Chandler or TJ...
