Series Thread: First Round: Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Washington Capitals

[BGDave]

He didn't play well last night, but fuck off. Old and tired argument from people who don't get the pleasure of watching Ovechkin 82 times a season.

That's Bob McCown, right? Canada's first attempt at a Shock Jock. Dude has been doing this for 20+ years.

McCown is long past his best before date, he's just a bitter, cynical curmudgeon these days.

That was painful to watch. I love how they kind of criticize OV for hitting. They'd go ape shit if he didn't hit. Typically shit hockey media. If he was from Thunder Bay they'd be all over his "intangibles". Pathetic.

Yeah, I couldn't actually finish watching it. The level of stupidity and hypocrisy gave me a headache.

Leafs in a win-win situation tonight. If they win, they steal a game on the road and go home feeling good. If they lose, the Caps have a 2-0 series lead which means certain doom.

I like your thought process

GL tonight

Caps get a PP 20 seconds in. I have a feeling the Caps are going to come out and overwhelm the Leafs early tonight.

Call that one, you better call them all.

Weak call

I don't have a horse in this race, but that was a pretty soft call in my opinion.

Well, so was the next one, so we're all square.

That is some fantastic 1-on-1 defense from Orlov. He has really grown.

Solid play

So close... Marcus has looked so sharp this series. Caps control the first 10 minutes easily. Not sure the Leafs even have a shot on goal yet.

OV gets nabbed for embellishment.

Ref is in bizarro world tonight

Trying to be part of the show, I like it best when you don't even notice the refs.

 

[elocomotive]

Omg... Eller so close. Just shoot it at that gaping, open 5-hole boys.

 

[BGDave]

Whew Gardiner you almost F'ed that up. Nice recovery

 

[Comeds]

This is a fun one to watch

 

[elocomotive]

I don't get the call but don't care, just waiting for that first one to find the twine and for the Caps to punish the shit out of the Leafs tonight.

Its coming soon... I feel it.

Oh now I understand, the zebras are Tim Peel and Eric Furlatt.
