Interesting Hypothetical Situation

[Caps Revenge]

Let's say the Bruins knock off the Sabres and the Canadiens come back to take the series from the Caps...That would leave the #4 seed Penguins with home-ice advantage through the ECF...Could happen...

That would be sweet....wouldn't it?...

But aren't the Pens a better road team like everyone else?

 

[Caps Revenge]

No Rick, it would not be sweet...

If I made this claim "over there", I'd get lambasted for being jealous/afraid of the Caps...but here, I feel safe saying it:

With the Bruins moving on, I'm rooting for the Habs to win moreso that my Pens don't have to face the Bruins at the same time that Savard is coming back. Playoff intensity + Savard's emotional return against the team/player that knocked him out = a recipe for disaster. I expect Cooke won't be the only player targeted in this scenario.

How is that even possible?

Everything is possible in the swamp. It's full of magical creatures.

Caps_Revenge, can't believe you posted this. I'm way too superstitious to ever say something negative like that about my own team.

It's not.
But there'd be plenty of tools trying to make it out to be that way.

I'm not superstitious. I don't really think it will happen...At the same time, I know it's possible. I also know that what's going to happen is what's going to happen whether I post something about it or not.

Butterflies and hurricanes! Don't you know ANYTHING????

I will kick people out of my house if they ever say anything remotely resembling a jinx against the Pens.

Lets just say I am praying the Habs win because I the Caps are the only team I am almost sure the Pens will lose too! If these 2 teams do meet howerer, all I truly ask for is a great series at the very least. Would be HUGE is the Habs can pull this off but I personally doubt it will happen.

In 2006, seeds 5-8 in the west all won their first round series.

Hey Darkstone... I see you are in Meadville. I liked in Erie for 8 years before moving to Indiana. Meadville Bulldogs still a HS hockey powerhouse?

It happened in 1998 when the Caps went to the finals, if you remember. We were the 4 seed and had home ice after losses by Philly, Jersey and someone else.
