Series Thread: Round 2: (2) Pittsburgh v. (1) Washington

I'm waiting for DS to come up with something like the following:

I'm polymerized tree sap and you're an inorganic adhesive, so whatever verbal projectile you launch in my direction is reflected off me, returns on its original trajectory and adheres to you.

To be fair his memory (and obviously his controller) was disconnected.

Oh and also:

Only the crap of Bray Trotz in the coaching will force the bad defense of hockey. Is the garbage of stupid trap coaches that make Crosby in bad crap offensive. The trash or Russian Ovechkin will be bring many of bad habits from damn KHL stupidities.

With this element can Crosby still win?? With less crap of Sullivan coaching we might see enjoyable Crosby and winning of maybe Malkin too. Fleury is always empty goalie on defensive trap of awful playoff hockey however. Perhaps Murray will make mask of number one with less crap goalie.

Can we let Angry Puppy and Unbiased in just for this one series? They can have their own thread and everything.

There's a decent chance this ends up being the best series these playoffs. Lots of skill on the ice all at once.

Oh, and I guess Orpik will be there, too.

Since this is the marquee series of the playoffs shouldn't one of the games be re-branded as the Bridgestone Spring Classic? I vote for game 3 in Pittsburgh. Only problem is somehow getting the Blackhawks involved?

And it's gotta be played in Boston for some reason.

St Louis could get the Blackhawks involved by eliminating them tonight.

/Andrew Shaw could make history by being the first person ever tossed out of a game during the ceremonial puck drop.

Oooh! An outdoor spring playoff game!

Caps should definitely use their "win in the bank" this series. Especially if there are going to be 3 teams playing.

I say play 7 games and the winner is determined by aggregate goals scored (away goals being the tie-breaker). If still tied, we need a shootout.

But not just a regular shootout. Trick-shot shootout like the one at the All-Star Game.

Head says Caps win. Gut says Pens win. Looking forward to this series.

It's what playoff hockey is all about, ritari.
