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

[ritari330]

Only playing 20 minutes doesn't win you very many games, much less playoff games.

The Penguins need to score on the PP and the Caps seem to rely too much on the great play of Holtby.

 

[pixburgher66]

Pretty resilient win. Down to 5 D, give up a goal on a penalty I'm sure they hated, getting beat up physically, but they stuck with it and Murray shut it down. Was very worried that Holtby was gonna steal this one. He's so solid.

 

[Dacks]

Two minutes for elbow to the face with puck long gone:


Meanwhile, two minutes for defence:

 

[Darkstone42]

In your stupid lawyer face, eloco!

The rest of you Caps fans are cool. Good game, see you in Pittsburgh.

 

[dare2be]

LMMMO back atcha!

Well, a former Penguin delivered a knockout blow in period 1 and a former Cap delivered a knockout blow in period 3.

Go PenCaps! CapPens?

 

[Dacks]

My very specific prediction for the rest of the series:

Pens steal Game 3 via Matt Murray
Caps tie Game 4 late only to lose a heartbreaker in OT
Game 5: Pens chase Holtby midway through the second period, a new chapter in Caps depressing history is writte.

Well, a former Penguin delivered a knockout blow in period 1 and a former Cap delivered a knockout blow in period 3.

They're not saying "Boooo" there saying "Broooooks Orpik"!

Guess whose bloated contract was part of preventing the Caps from bringing back Fehr? Good ol' bulgy eyes.

That's like a slightly expedited version of the 09 series, haha.

That and giving Beagle 1.75 mil. I love the guy, but for a quarter mil more, I'd take Fehr every time.

We all know this is going 7 even if we don't want to believe it.

 

[Darkstone42]

Oh crap, my overtime prediction was wrong.

I'm glad, considering tonight's outcome.

 

[dare2be]

The Redcoats are coming! The Redcoats are coming!

Where there's a will (ratings) there's a way (NHL officiating).

Yeah, but he's just SUCH A GOOD BOOOOY! Yes he is! Good boy!

 

[Comeds]

The good news for the Caps is they played terribly for w periods tonight and still barely lost. The bad news I don't think the Penguins played so well either.

Caps' Orpik to have hearing for Maatta hit
