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

[DragonfromTO]

I think Pens/Stars would be my favorite possible Stanley Cup final. All that speed, all that focus on using it. It would be awesome.

Looking forward to going to this game tonight. Scored a free ticket in a luxury suite.

Must be nice.

As pumped as I am for this one, thinking back, I don't think it's possible to beat that 2009 series. Dueling hat tricks, Pens storm back, Caps win in OT on the brink in G6, Varly's coming out party, some controversy, three OTs. Really, from an outsider perspective, the only thing that wasn't crazy was G7 being a blowout.

I mean the caps could win the series. That'd be an improvement for sure.

Well said Schmidt

 

[ritari330]

Word is Orpik is in. Officially he is a game-time decision though.

Expected lineup:

Ovechkin – Backstrom – Oshie
Johansson – Kuznetsov – Williams
Chimera – Richards – Burakovsky
Winnik – Beagle – Wilson

Alzner – Niskanen
Orpik – Carlson
Orlov – Schmidt

Holtby

If Orpik is in, expect him to take some shifts with Orlov too.

What if I bribed you with a sandwich involving fries and coleslaw, I know how much you love those.

Sheesh...my cat growing up wasn't so kind. I'd cover my head and he'd burrow in screaming for food. Loved that asshole though.

Any particular reason this game isn't on until 8?

So we have to listen to more the insane rantings over the Ovechkin vs Crosby rivalry.

And Millburys astute observations

Wow Roenick actually had a semi-intelligent thought/comment.

They should have Luongo and Tony X on in place of Milbury

Yelling 'O' during the National Anthem pisses me off so much.

WE'RE NOT BALTIMORE.

"But we won't remember Ovechkin in 20 years for his goals or personal awards, we'll remember him by 2016 and if he can win this series" - Nick Kypreos, best known for his head hitting the ice.

That literally happens in every sporting arena I've ever been to. Not just a Baltimore or DC thing.
