Series Thread: First Round: Carolina Hurricanes vs. Washington Capitals

[podsox]

Looked like the capitals hit their summer vacation early in the 3rd period. That was one of the laziest efforts I’ve ever seen. Props to holtby for keeping them alive. The right team won

Heard today that justin williams HATES being called Mr game 7

pervy Pierre: “whats mr game 7 have to say about that performance”

*pause*

I was hoping williams knocked him out there lol

Congrats to the Canes.

I will say that having just won a Cup puts the level of upset at about 10% of usual.

Don Cherry approved outcome.

I'm starting to think this one is over

so happy right now. No offense Cap fans, I just have a really annoying Caps fan at work.

 

[puckhead]

for the TomWilsonH8ters out there

he couldn't control the shoot around on the boards,
then McGinn beat him to the net. not a good look

The team deserved the win. Canes fans are awful and do not. Second lowest attendance % this season as always in th bottom 3. Bandwagon crowd.

Carolina really stepped up in the 2nd OT.

That's what I just told my Caps fan coworker. "that team deserved this".

 

[elocomotive]

Carolina really stepped up in both OTs

Fifty. The Caps looked dead out there. Carolina was plucky and tough, showed a ton of heart. Well deserved series victory.

I really think the key to the game was the goal in the 2nd OT.

I felt they looked more even in the first OT. In the 2nd, I felt like it was 75/25 or 80/20 Carolina as far as arm-chair eye test of effort goes.

Oshie getting hurt is probably the difference here. He is a solid player.

I don’t know, I have a bad feeling about tonight. Esp since the reguLr season champs, the other Cup participant last year., and the preseason paper champs have all been knocked out.

I hope I’m wrong.

I have a 2034 sports almanac I picked up from a disgraced nuclear physicist.

Some of that is on the team ownership. When you move a hockey team to a southern city, you have to set your prices at a level that the fans can afford and want to afford.
