Give the Caps the Cup

[elocomotive]

They are going to win it.

I mean, sure, everybody still has a chance. But the Blackhawks are pretty done now. The Pens can't beat this team. I'd say the Panthers have a slim chance IF they beat their first round opponent, but that would likely go to 7 anyway. Only so many times you can take a series to 7 games, squeak out a win, and still have enough in the tank to take on a team with more and deeper talent.

So congrats, Caps.

I'll be the first to put it out there. And if they don't win, feel free to bump this thread in perpetuity and make me look like an ass.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the tradition of handing the captain the Cup first.

I believe, brotha.

Said 7 games in we were gonna win the division with ease. Check.

Pretty good on these things.

Let's make it official...

LOL...Pens are 2-2 against the Crapitals with 12 goals scored for the pens in those games and 10 by the Craps. They play again on the 7th...

They still have to overcome that sieve of a goalie.






I watched the game the other night against Philly at my cousin's house. My son was studying Holtby. After the second period he said to me "That guy moves, like... REALLY well. How big is he?" He hasn't paid much attention to Holtby the last few years (His favorites are Bobrovsky, Rinne and Price). But he's kind of obsessed with how Holtby covers the net.

He was very excited to learn that Mitch Korn is Holtby's coach now. I think that's the goalie camp he's going to this summer.

That's awesome.

Yes, Mitch Korn has been really great for Holtby after Adam Oates tried to mess him up.

Eh, I don't see them getting past the Flyers. Maybe if the Islanders drop to the 2nd wildcard spot they'll have a shot at matching OV's career best of a second-round appearance but that's probably it IMO.

Best of luck to the Caps buddy. You deserve a sports parade under high security.

We get enough road blockades for protests, high-level officials, marathons, and more around here. It would be nice if the roads were blocked for something fun for a change!

He just wanted to beat me to a "Caps will go 16-0 in the playoffs" type thread.

"The exact opposite of every fans line of thinking?" I'm not sure which post you mean.
